Are your emotions guiding you or controlling you? In this episode of Paige’s Perspective, we break down the difference between feeling your emotions and being ruled by them.

You’ve heard us say “Feel the Feels,” but also “Eff your feelings.” So which one is it? Both. Emotional regulation isn’t about ignoring feelings or letting them dictate your actions—it’s about finding the middle ground.

We’ll talk about:
✔ The difference between healthy reflection and rumination
✔ Why pain is inevitable, but suffering is a choice
✔ How to shift your emotional state by cultivating the opposite feeling
✔ Simple ways to break free from overthinking and emotional spirals

Listener Journal Prompt (Share in the Community!):
1️⃣ What emotion have you been sitting in lately? Is it serving you?
2️⃣ If you could cultivate the opposite emotion, what would it be?
3️⃣ What thoughts are keeping you stuck? Challenge them. Is it a fact or just a feeling?
4️⃣ What is one action you can take today to shift your emotional state?

Your emotions are real, but they don’t have to dictate your reality. Let’s learn how to feel them, process them, and move forward.
