#134 How Do I Stop Myself From Reacting to Emotions


Listen Later

Ever yelled at your kids, slammed a door, or bought something you regretted… and then thought, “Why do I keep doing this?”


Today we’re tackling one of the most common questions I get asked: “How do I stop myself from reacting to my emotions?”


In this episode we’ll talk about:

  • Why stopping reactions altogether isn’t realistic (because hi, you’re human)
  • The sneaky layer that makes emotional reactions feel so much worse
  • Why we need to take the morality right out of it
  • How to learn from the “smoke detector” that is your big emotions
  • The antidote to feeling terrible


If you’ve ever wished you could stop overreacting or beating yourself up afterwards, this one’s for you my friend.
