What is the theory behind this Mindfulness of Current Emotion Worksheet?
Individuals who face stressful situations and experience emotional distress often try to block distressing emotions to get rid of pain and physical symptoms. However, inhibition of such emotions creates a negative impact on our behavior and creates distress in the long run. People hold grudges when they are unable to process emotions adequately on time. Mindfulness of the current emotion worksheet has been designed on the principle of processing emotions in the here and now.
How will the worksheet help?
This worksheet will help individuals to be more aware of their emotions. It will facilitate them to adequately process and accept their experienced emotions rather than being in denying or suppressing them.
How to use the worksheet?
You will be required to explain a situation in which you subjectively experienced intense emotions, as well as how it affected you. Write the details about the impact the situation had on you. Then, follow the R.A.I.N acronym:
R: Recognize the emotion you are experiencing
A: Attune yourself with the physical sensation
I: Investigate your physical sensation
N: Nurture the feeling
