Why is emotion regulation so important?

If we don’t engage in emotion regulation, then the event that caused our emotions to dysregulate has power over us, as opposed to us having power over the event.

Discover the magic in the pause between action and reaction. It’s within this pause that we find the strength to shape our own narrative, unlocking growth and freedom. ✨

Brains listen in on self talk. We are so quick to critique ourselves that we don’t realize the impact it has on our self esteem. Talking highly of yourself can help to boost self esteem and overall morale. Be aware of your language that you use about yourself. Your brain is listening! 🧠🤍

You don’t owe an explanation to anyone about who you are or why you are doing something. If it makes sense to you, it doesn’t have to make sense to anybody else.

Sometimes we just need to take a step back and think about what we can do to feel some relief. Take a look at this list and see if anything resonates with you. Set aside some time and focus on you. 🤍💫

This can be one of the hardest ideas to grasp, but in time you may find it is true for many of us. Keep your head held high and take advantage of what life throws at you; you never know where it will lead you!

Do you find yourself ruminating over the same things over and over again? This is common for people to experience, but it won’t get you the peace that you are searching for.

It takes effort to change your perspective, but ultimately you have control over how you view a situation. These tips might help you focus your energy in a more positive direction! ✨✨✨

Wind down from the stress of the holiday season with the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding exercise. Grounding techniques may help you refocus on the present moment to distract yourself from anxious feelings. You can use grounding techniques to help create space from distressing feelings in nearly any situation.

It takes less than 2 minutes, and is a great way to introduce mindfulness into your daily routine! Pay attention to your breathing during the exercise, taking deep slow breaths to help relax your nervous system.
