Habits on Purpose

202. Reactivity Reset: A Mental and Emotional U-Turn


Listen Later

Do you ever feel like you become reactionary and out of control in an instant? In this episode, I explore the feeling of being reactive, particularly when it happens with the people you care about most. Reactivity can make you feel like you're no longer in control of your emotions, and the intensity of that reaction can feel overwhelming and insurmountable.

Today, I'm introducing the concept of a mental and emotional U-turn, a tool that can help reduce reactivity and give you clarity about what's happening when you feel triggered. You'll learn how to recognize when you need to do a U-turn by paying attention to your emotions and physical sensations. I'll guide you through how to slow down in those heated moments and keep your focus inward rather than getting pulled back into the situation.
