“I made it worse because I was not the master of my emotions.”

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where someone hits that emotional button you never knew existed? Did you end up regretting something you said or did in the heat of the moment? We've all been there. In today’s advice episode, we’re delving into a listener's question on how to control one’s mood and avoid being swayed by others’ actions.

Join us as Erin shares a recent personal story on the challenges of navigating relationships and emotions, along with tips for controlling how you can respond in the heat of the moment. These include:

1. Cultivating mindfulness through journaling, meditation, and staying present
2. Identifying your emotional buttons and their triggers, so that you’re prepared to address them
3. Developing a sense of self-mastery in how you navigate your world and control what affects you
4. Acknowledging and learning from your mistakes
