SPOTLIGHT MONDAY: Emotional Resignation

What this episode covers

On today’s episode we shine the light on emotional resignation. We learned resignation is an emotion that can occur when a difficult situation involves a feeling of giving up, defeat, letting go of control, and a feeling of powerlessness. Resignation can happen in various circumstances, such as a chronic illness, struggling relationship, a loss, a failure, or a lack of viable choices. It can bring about feelings of sadness, disappointment, and at times even relief. The article, “Acceptance or Resignation?” by heycoaching.com explained this the best. It explained that emotional resignation is a “passive response to a difficult event or circumstance;” where a person is “resigned to the situation and feels incapable of moving forward or making positive change.” The goal in a difficult circumstance is to turn a resigned emotion into one of acceptance. So, come ride along with us. www.heycoaching.com
