What is Your Emotional Temperature?
How do you feel when you woke up in the morning? By noon, what is your mood? When your work day is done, what emotions are swirling? Do you drop off to sleep gently? Is your sleep restful?
Shift Out of Emotional Upset
We all have them. Emotions are a physical sensation that our mind labels as anger, contempt, fear, disgust, happiness, sadness or surprise, or some combination of these.

Rebounding from Daily News stress
The news feeds are filled with some much information about what it "going wrong". It can throw us into fear, anger, sadness, helplessness, exasperation, and distress. Most of the time we can't actively do anything in response to the news and become frozen in our emotional response.

You know who they are....those aggravating individuals. They range from rubbing you the wrong way to openly critical or aggressive toward you.
Emotional Merry-go-rounds and other spirals
It's that situation again. That person or group is present. This conversation or action will trigger my feelings. I'll spiral into my "go-to" emotions. and I'll be back in my misery, again. It takes too much energy and time to climb out of that wheel.
Overcoming Self-Doubt
Self-doubt is the biggest bully, ever. You don't even have to go outside yourself to hear deprecating self-talk about your thoughts and actions, how you feel and look, who values you-if anyone, your likelihood of success, who has your back? who is trustworthy, etc.
Does Emotional Resolution replace Therapy?
The short-answer is No. Therapy or Psychotherapy is a process where a trained professional uses verbal and psychological techniques to help their client tackle specific or general problems such as a particular mental illness or a source of life stress by exploring their cause and effect on the client's life and behavior[1].
Don't let a bad vibe carry you away
Did you really have a bad day or did you have 10-20 minutes where you let your thoughts run undisciplined which led you to a bad vibe that you let carry you away. Come on... you run this [show]. Pay attention.
Letting Go of "IT"
How many times have we heard or thought to ourselves, "just let it go"? Don't be angry forever, let it go. Don't be anxious or fearful, let it go. If we could just wash it off in the shower, or cough it out like a puff of smog, that would be one thing.
Don't let your Emotions control you. Resolve them instead.
Seems like every day we have them. Emotions. We react emotionally to the personal interactions and circumstances that we move through each day. Some emotions we like: joy, happiness, gratitude, hope, inspiration, pride, serenity, inspiration, and, of course, love. Want them. Want to keep them.
