Emotional Mastery

Mistake to fear emotions

Feelings - short term

Identify with it - thinking its you instead of something that happened to you

moods - can linger for a longer time

syndrome - identify with it so much that it can become a diagnosis

train yourself to not have to slide into the negative emotions so far

Self reflect, Self Correct

observe the consequences of your behavior

Some people release emotions and get over it

others are heavily impacted by other people's emotions

Genuine apology is about the remorse (digestive enzyme)

it allows the person to feel the apology deeply, then forgiveness comes naturally

Emotional Ecosystem

Dan Siegel - Interpersonal Neurobiology

impact each others' nervous systems with our emotions

triggers do not have to be personal

try saying "pass"

you know your system will regulate

you don't need to hold on to unnecessary suffering

Story from Geralyn's book, read by author

what we are trained as being awful

that moment in time when you have a choice

to not go down the painful route and instead take the other route

you can remain in your center, in your heart, in your joy
