Lesson 3: Name It to Tame It (Shrink Any Feeling Out Loud)

An unnamed feeling turns into a monster.
A named feeling turns into a sentence.

You don’t fight it.
You don’t judge it.
You don’t identify with it.

You label it.

“I’m scared because rent is due.”
“I’m overwhelmed because I haven’t slept.”
“I’m angry because I felt disrespected.”

The moment you put language on it, the amygdala (your fear center) chills out, and the prefrontal cortex (logic) comes online again.

Naming = neutralizing.

And this isn’t therapy.
It’s mechanics.

⭐ Today’s Activity

Catch ONE big feeling today and speak it out loud — quietly, in the bathroom, wherever.

Just say the sentence exactly:

“I’m feeling ___ because ___.”

No drama.
No identity.
Just truth.
