Sleep on it or look into it?

What is the best way to handle the emotions? Sleep on it? Or look into it?

@Bee0610 hi there. i think it honestly heavily depends on the person.

for instance, someone who is rather impulsive of nature and experiences intense emotions maybe prefers to sleep on it in order to refrain from creating more conflict. others may feel like they want to stand up for themselves and voice their opinion and can not sleep if they do not. in the end however i believe that distraction & calming yourself down in any way (doesnt neccesarily have to be sleep, can be meditation or working out as well) never hurts. 😊

Ooh, great question. Here is one person's perspective on this topic. I've received advice from my friends and family many times about not addressing things with others when emotions are high. But it can be helpful to reflect on the "why" of someone's words. What caused them to say them? Why did those words impact me? When talking about emotional topics, I would suggest trying to keep your words focused on you... how you feel, and why you think you feel that way based on the situation being discussed. That way the other person doesn't feel judged or accused of doing something wrong. We all have emotions and we all get upset. Taking a moment to think about things before I talk it out is something I will practice for the rest of my life.
