We want to be our best selves. We try to eat well, exercise, meditate and pray, maintain social connections and keep our minds active. But what about our emotional health?

Not all Emotions are Needed!
I was talking to a friend about Emotional Resolution (EmRes) and how it removes unwanted emotions. My friend got a little irritated with me and said, "I don't want to get rid of my emotions. I like my emotions, my sad and angry, my tears of frustration.

Getting Along with Difficult People
You know who they are....those aggravating individuals. They range from rubbing you the wrong way to openly critical or aggressive toward you.

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.

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.
