I use all of the above tools, and yes they do work. I sit with the emotions, I accept them, I let them ride over me. I may fight it, feel angry or cry but I sit with them because when I’m not feeling great my tools go straight out of the window. The most important tool is being kind to yourself, nurture yourself. When you don’t feel great and you feel so down it hurts, know it will pass, be gentle, be kind and love yourself…
