How much self-control do you have? Are there certain moments in your life that have taught you the importance of managing your emotions? Self-control is an extremely important quality to have to understand your perception of yourself and others.

Today’s episode is a follow-up from last week's episode where we covered the power of storytelling. Part of improving the stories that we tell ourselves in our heads is self-control. We’re not trying to remove emotions from our lives but learning to manage the emotions that then lead to our actions. When we understand the feelings that we have towards someone, we can get out of the box and remove the distortion and see them clearly. 

Tune in to learn the turning point for me that taught me self-control, what ‘the box’ is, and my challenge for listeners.
