In today's episode I give you the full breakdown of what happens when we REACT and get into a heightened emotional state. It can be so challenging to come down from this and to not let it take over the rest of your day. I know that you'll feel empowered after this episode to know that you have the skills and the abilities to feel your emotions, process them, and make a plan to continue moving forward rather than being pulled back into habits and behaviours that are no longer serving you. Don't let 1 thing keep you stuck and create a bad mood, a bad day, bad interactions AND at the same time, don't just brush things off and ignore your emotions; it's time to find a balance.

In today's episode  I jammed on:

• How to respond vs. react
• Emotional refractory period
• Cognitive rehearsal 
• Building yourself to move forward vs. "falling behind"
• How to move past getting stuck in old patterns and behaviours
