Emotional Toolkit
From The Emotional Toolkit by Darlene Mininni
Emotional Tools: 1. Thought-shifting (need to work on this -- I ruminate a lot)
2. The Meditative Arts (I'm bad at staying still and focusing my mind)
3. Communication (I think I do this pretty well, if I can open up, but sometimes I'm too harsh instead of stating something calmly)
4. Emotional Writing (This helps and it's what I use my paper journal for)
5. Physical Movement (Doesn't seem to help me, but I'm working on exercising more)
6. Connection (I'm slowly getting better at turning to people for help/support)
7. Psychotherapy (sometimes helps when I'm in a dire mental state, sometimes doesn't)
