Who else never really learned emotional regulation as a child and now has to learn it as an adult? 🐸 Even just naming the feeling out loud can help me to feel better.
Other tips:
Accept that you are feeling the emotion instead of trying to ignore it or push it away
Remember that it won’t hurt you and doesn’t mean anything bad about you (for instance, feeling frustrated doesn’t mean you’re childish or something)
If the feeling persists after self-soothing, ask yourself what that might mean. Sometimes you just feel the emotion because you do, but sometimes there’s something else you can do to help yourself. Are you still feeling angry because you’re hungry or tired, and you need to eat or sleep? Is it an interpersonal problem that needs a solution, like do you need to draw stronger boundaries with somebody? Does everything seem hopeless and overwhelming because it’s after 9 pm and your brain is lying to you? (My brain always lies to me after 9 pm. It means I can put this train of thought aside for now and it’ll probably seem much less awful in the morning.)
Quick Tips for Learning Languages on Your Own

POLYGLOT WEEKLY’S REBLOG OF THE WEEK
I feel bad about not following all of my lovely followers back. Unfortunately, I have a tendency to get sucked into social media and not come up for air if my Dashboard is too full. So as a compromise, I decided to add this feature. Once a week, I’ll browse my followers’ blogs to find something pertinent to the blog and reblog it to help spread the love and information.
This is a totally selfish reblog because I’m trying to double down on my Japanese learning. I feel like I’m finally making progress so I want to build on that momentum while I can. Hopefully it’s helpful to some of you as well. Happy reading Polyglots!
