Ethan Kross on How to Make Your Emotions Work for You | EP 568
In this episode of Passion Struck, host John R. Miles welcomes back Dr. Ethan Kross, a leading expert on emotions and self-regulation, to discuss his latest book, SHIFT. The conversation delves into the importance of understanding and managing our emotions, emphasizing that emotions should not be suppressed but rather harnessed as powerful tools for personal growth and resilience.
The episode explores various strategies for managing emotions, including the concept of "shifters"—sensory experiences that can alter our emotional states. Dr. Kross emphasizes the role of music, scents, and touch in modulating feelings, sharing a personal anecdote about using music to uplift his daughter’s mood before a soccer game.

In this episode, you will learn:
Emotions as Tools: Emotions should not be viewed as obstacles but rather as tools that can help us navigate life. Understanding and managing our emotions can lead to resilience, connection, and fulfillment.
The Importance of Avoidance: Strategic avoidance of emotional triggers can be beneficial. Sometimes stepping away from a situation allows for better clarity and decision-making when returning to it.
Sensory Shifters: Our senses can significantly influence our emotional states. Engaging with sensory experiences, such as music or scents, can help shift our emotions quickly and effectively.
Cultural Influence on Emotions: Culture plays a crucial role in shaping our beliefs, values, and norms regarding emotions. Understanding the cultural context can help individuals navigate their emotional lives more intentionally.
No One-Size-Fits-All Solution: There are no universal solutions for managing emotions. Just as physical fitness requires a variety of exercises, emotional management requires a diverse set of tools tailored to individual needs and circumstances.
