Thank you! I've always struggled with this.

[@toddbutler3341]

A skill that requires constant practice and awareness. Thanks. Aces as always

[@GalenEmanueleShiftYes]

Constant practice, totally true! Thanks Todd:)

[@danapratt8445]

Thanks Galen! This is a big area of development for me. I am working on controlling my behavior rather than having my emotions control me. I find that good self-care helps me have the energy to do this better.

[@GalenEmanueleShiftYes]

Also an area of opportunity for me to be aware and conscious of and to practice every chance I get. Good self care is a great way to support being in a good headspace:)

I need to practice this with my very strong-willed child! ;-)

[@GalenEmanueleShiftYes]

Best of luck, it's hard stuff! :)

I also keep hearing that "emotions last around 90 seconds", so practicing a pause and reset (acknowledging the feeling and then focusing on something else to redirect) when you're not in that situation will help when you do get into that heightened emotional space.

Oh I love this, thanks for sharing Shawna! Really helpful:)

"feelings are not the truth"- something to remember, especially when you want to "trust your gut"

[@GalenEmanueleShiftYes]

Yep, it's a balance:) And the more you know yourself, the easier it is to discern what move is right. Thanks for chiming in!
