Despite how big an impact our emotions can have on our mental health, many of us subconsciously avoid our feelings – here’s how to overwrite this impulse.
While emotional blind spots often function on a subconscious level, there are some simple ways to work out whether or not you possess one or more of your own.
“Feeling unsure of what your emotional experience is, moment to moment, can be a sign that blind spots have a powerful hold over you,” Hauer suggests. “Our blind spots are made up of the emotions we can’t sit with. This makes them tricky to identify: in order to clock what we’re distracting ourselves from, we need to catch ourselves at it!”Of course, identifying and unpicking your emotional blind spots isn’t going to be an enjoyable process – most of the time the emotions you’re subconsciously trying to avoid are going to be negative.
“There are five core emotions: happiness, fear, sadness, disgust and anger. Of course, there are countless others once you become attuned to them, but the basic five are a good place to start. Try to identify which is closest to your own feeling and just label it.”“Every day, spend five minutes jotting down a record of whatever felt like the most difficult or painful emotional experience of the day.
