 Starving NegativeEmotions “8 Ways to Put Out the Fire”

When you deal with negative emotions you have a couple ofbasic choices:  You can suppress them by keeping them buried inside ultimately making yourself sick. Or you can express your negativity to those closest to you and make them sick. For many peoplethey think there's only two options. In other words, for most of the people you know, suppression and expression are the only tools in the emotional toolbox.  “If the only tool you have is a hammer, theneverything starts to look like a nail.”

According to Newberry, “to live a life of maximum joy, youmust learn how to minimize the negative emotions so they will not dominate your life.  For example, imagine covering asmall campfire with a bucket of dirt. Instantly it is snuffed out.  Now think about your mind set prior to smothering IT. First, you developed the desire to put out the fire out,probably because you were leaving the campground or going to sleep. Then you made the decision to do so. Finally, you acted. If your goal was to put out the fire, you would never think of throwing on another log or dousing it with gasoline.

 Negative emotions work the same way. If you want toextinguish them, do it with positive, constructive thinking.  It's important that you refuse to nourishthose negative thoughts. In other words, let them starve, don't allow them to develop into a blazing inferno.
