Making Midlife Magic

Ep #52: The emotions buffet


Listen Later

In today's episode, I share a metaphor that will help you see possibilities. It will help when you feel stuck, or when you're in an emotional rut. It's easy for the brain to understand and lets us see choices where previously we saw none. Plus, it's fun!

What is this magical metaphor? The buffet! In today's episode, I share the power of imagining a buffet of feelings where you get to decide what to put on your plate and how much to take.

The emotional buffet lets us see what's on our plate and also what we might want to add. Rather than trying to convince yourself to feel differently, the buffet gently offers new feelings and possibilities.


In this episode:

🌟 Why the buffet is such a powerful way of thinking about choice

🌟 How to decide what to put on your plate -- no moralizing required!

🌟 Why trying to feel better about a situation often doesn't work, and why adding emotions at the buffet does

🌟 The things you should never put on your plate, even though you notice them at the buffet


🌟 If you enjoy the podcast, I'd love to have you in more of my world! 🌟
