(Episode #3) Surviving The Holidays: Managing Our Emotions

This episode of Surviving The Holidays delves into Managing our Emotions and how anticipation of family gathering shenanigans causes emotional overload and disruption of the peace you fought so hard to protect. Here, we discuss strategies for preserving your peace and how to avoid giving control of your emotions away because NO ONE deserves to control your emotions other than yourself! Anticipating the many questions and ways you will be offended at the next family gathering usually makes you go to the event armed with snide comments and quick clapbacks to defend yourself. BUT IS IT WORTH IT! Every time we allow others to "MAKE" us feel any type of way, we are handing over control of our emotions to them. No one deserves the right to control how YOU feel! This episode explores the many ways people hijack our emotions and strategies on how not EVER to allow that to happen again. Preserving your peace means protecting yourself from participating in activities that take you so far away from your peace that you don't recognize it. This holiday, enjoy family gatherings by arriving equipped with the proper tools so that you are the thermostat in the room and NOT the thermometer! #doctorksdevolved #livelifewithpurposeonpurpose #mentalhealth #selfcare #empowerment #motivation #inspiration #holidays
