Master Your Emotions With These 3 Steps

Do you wish you had greater control of your emotions?

Do you find yourself suddenly getting heated and angry?

Or maybe falling into depressive spirals?

Or even overeating as a result of emotional escapism?

Karla McLaren is a Master of Education and in her book The Art of Empathy dives into emotions.

I recently saw my 2 year old niece getting incredibly emotionally triggered because… well that’s what 2 year olds go through

It reminded me of Karla’s book because she states that Emotions are always TRUE, as they are responding to emotionally evocative stimuli.

However, they are not always RIGHT, because the stimuli may not always be valid.

Next time you’re in an emotional spiral, try these 3 simple steps:

• 1. Name the emotion you’re feeling
• 2. Question the emotion
• 3. Then ask yourself if you are acting on information from the emotion OR choose to not act because the stimulus is invalid
