Can you identify the bad emotions when they happen? It's important, so you can recover from them. 

Many times we're just trying to communicate without seeing the non verbal cues in front of our faces. Are you aware how this relates to joy for you, and for them? 

Overwhelmed? It happens. Here's how to fix it in the moment. 

Scripture mentions six stages that define the developmental roadmap for life: 1. Unborn 2. Infant 3. Child 4. Adult 5. Parent 6. Elder stage

How different should that have gone? 

The bad stuff is already imprinted in our brain for 8x longer than the good stuff. How can you pay close attention to the good stuff, and make it last longer?

• We can often see what we value most deeply, by looking at the things that bother us or cause us pain.
• Looking at the opposite of that pain can reveal our deepest value.
• Sometimes, when there is too much pain, we act out of that pain instead of staying true to our heart.
• Learning to identify our deep heart values can help us live from them even in the face of pain and malfunction in ourselves and others.
