What Will I Feel Like At Burning Man?
You are probably going to have some epic emotions at Burning Man. Embrace these emotions! Everyone is having them! However, if you are having a bad emotion, consider a few things first:
Are you thirsty? Have some water whether you think you’re thirsty or not. Hydrate
Are you hungry? When did you last eat? Consider eating something.
When did you last sleep? Maybe take a nap, or just go to bed!
If those aren’t the problem, find a close friend, or a stranger, and have some real talk. Emotions have a habit of finding their way to the surface on the playa. Consider this an opportunity to let them out. And don't worry, if you're feeling like talking, there is always someone who wants to listen. That is the beauty of this thing we call Burning Man.
