Learning How To Regulate Yourself

from Life, Dilemmas & Dad Stuff Hosted by Tommy Kende

Emotional regulation might be one of the most important life skills we never get taught. In this episode, I talk about: how quickly the stories in our head can spiral us emotionally why thoughts create emotional states that shape our experience of life catching yourself before you disappear down the rabbit hole learning how to observe emotions instead of becoming consumed by them the connection between pressure, emotional reactions and self-awareness why the external world shouldn’t completely dictate your internal state practical tools I use to regulate myself when life feels loud This conversation is really about learning how to slow down, become more aware, and create space between your emotions and your reactions. Because not every thought deserves your belief. And if you don’t learn how to regulate your emotions… your emotions will regulate you.
