4 Habits of Emotionally Strong People
<p>Most people hear the term <em>emotionally strong</em> and assume that it means the ability to ignore your emotions or not feel them. But that’s dead wrong…</p>
<p><strong>Emotional strength isn’t about getting rid of difficult feelings — it means you know how to respond to them in a healthy way.</strong></p>
<p>For example:</p>
<ul>
<li>Being emotionally strong in the face of anxiety means learning to accept your anxious thoughts and feelings rather than constantly running away from them.</li>
<li>Being emotionally strong when you’re grieving means being willing to feel your sadness and accept your loss instead of distracting yourself from it.</li>
<li>Being emotionally strong when you’re angry means validating that anger rather than denying it or criticizing yourself.</li>
</ul>
<p>Of course, it’s hard work to cultivate a healthier relationship with your emotions — one that allows you to be resilient and strong in the face of painful feelings instead of fragile.</p>
<p>But it is possible.</p>
<p>And the most effective way to do it is to build consistent habits that promote a more tolerant and accepting relationship with all your feelings — even the painful ones. If you want to become emotionally strong, work to cultivate these 4 habits.</p>
