š How To Practice Emotional Regulation š
1) IDENTIFY EMOTIONS: Start to ask yourself "what is it I'm feeling right now?"
2) WITNESS: Notice how you immediately react to situations when you feel nervous, anxious or overwhelmed (without judgement).
3) PAUSE: Learn to pause without going into an automatic reaction. Deep breathing helps here.
4) LET IT PASS: After you pause, witness how the emotion passes (strong emotions come & go all day long. We don't need to react to each emotion. Learn to watch it come, then go.
5) STOP SELF SHAMING: People who struggle to regulate their emotions, tend to be very harsh or critical (as a parent once was) to themselves.
MANTRA: "I can handle difficult emotions. I am strong. I am proud of me.
