I recently had a difficult conversation with a friend about a decision that she made…and quickly came to regret.  And she said to me, “I wish I hadn’t acted on my feelings”.  I understood exactly what she meant.  We’ve all been there done that…questionable actions or choices fueled by intense emotions.  Why is this even a struggle?  Because we are emotional beings by nature. AND as women, we also have intricately woven webs of hormones flowing through our bodies that influence our emotional state…this can be a tricky recipe for less than favorable emotional decisions. Join me on today’s episode of The Unspoken Cycle podcast as I explore the complexity of acting on our emotions and talk about healthy and effective ways that we can validate our feelings while avoiding impulsive emotional reactions that often lead to regret.
