Coping with Difficult Emotions
Forbidding ourselves from feeling negative emotions can intensify those feelings. A good way to cope with difficult emotions is to recognize, express, validate, name, and allow ourselves to feel them. 💜💙

Single leg balance and hip strength [📹 bonniewilder.dpt]
🌟 Want the secret to becoming a strong and confident runner, have better balance, or reduce hip pain? Work on single leg stability & hip strength ‼️ Amongst many contributing factors, single leg balance, stability, and hip strength are most important to becoming a strong, fast, and confident runner. 💫 Yoga block banded circles work on glute med, hip flexor, and single leg strength. Running is a single leg sport. 80% of the time we’re on 1 leg and 20% on 2 legs. So let’s train like it! Try 3 rounds of 30s alternating L/R foot circles!
Understanding Emotional Triggers: Our Feelings Have Power
Are you aware of your emotional triggers? I’m a person in long-term recovery. I practice emotional sobriety. I work with sponsors in two 12-step programs to help me get along peacefully with other people and the world. I still made someone cry this past week. It was not intentional and I felt terrible. I’m not a sociopath for heaven’s sake! I was accused of doing something I didn’t do and at a very stressful moment. I didn’t take it well. When I discussed this with a mentor later that day, I saw I had been triggered and I overreacted. The point is, it doesn’t matter how serene we are or how long we have in recovery, our emotional triggers have power and can still dominate at a moment’s notice.
Healing is a constant so trauma triggers never really go away. They just get easier to handle.
