Why it matters?
Emotional states are temporary, but the outcome of our words and actions in the heat of the moment can last a lifetime. It’s hard to think clearly when our emotions are in the driver’s seat. This week, we will learn the importance of stepping away to calm our emotions before reacting to a stressful situation.
Taking a moment of pause can help you:
• Increase awareness of your feelings and needs in the moment.
• Decrease the intensity of your emotions so that you can think more clearly about the situation.
• Improve your communication skills.
• Respond to stressful situations with more clarity.
The goal isn’t to make your emotions go away, rather, it is to handle intense emotions in a more positive and intentional way.
