Emotional Encouragement Through Grieving!

What Makes You Tick Emotionally?

When you discover emotional encouragement in your life, be sure you share it with others!

• Realize You Are Worthy Of Love And Respect. If you know your worth as a person, you won’t be so quick to take the things that others say to you so personally. Take time to get to know yourself, and put aside what others may think of you. Take time in prayer to make a list of at least five things about yourself that you’re grateful for, and remember them when you find yourself getting attacked verbally by someone.

• Understand Your Emotional Triggers. Each one of us is created by God. All of us have emotional triggers from the past, either because of three fundamental reasons; personal sin, other people’s sin, or just by chance. There are specific actions people take that may trigger us to become sensitive to particular things. For example, if your mother was overly critical, and you tried to please her, but when someone points out that you made a mistake is something that could trigger you to feel more sensitive than another person might under similar circumstances. When you do get upset about a situation, ask yourself: “Am I upset about this situation, or is this one of the emotional triggers that I need to overcome with God’s help?

A Couple More Good Ideas!

• Be Authentic How You Live. This is the practice of letting go of thinking you need to be like someone else, but instead, hold on to who you are by being yourself. You must genuinely accept who and what God made you. Practice authenticity by doing God’s will, is what’s best for you, like it or not. That could be, at times, putting others in front of your needs and other times putting your own needs first, depending on the situation.

• Mistakes Do Happen. When you do make a mistake, don’t forget to forgive yourself. It’s essential to take responsibility for your actions, but don’t punish yourself too much if someone disapproves of you, especially if what you do is not inappropriate or ungodly. Accept that you aren’t perfect, and remember that there’s no such thing as an unfortunate mistake, especially if you can learn from them.
