Emotion is not the enemy. We just need to decipher them and learn tools for regulation and resilience.

We all get knocked down and face hardships, but we always have the choice to get back up or not. What will your choice be?

Learn to train your emotions and tame your reactive brain.

Calm Your Emotions is the rare book that understands where you’ve been, the obstacles you’ve overcome, and what you need to make sure you are in full control of your life at all times. This is a stunningly detailed and insightful guide into our emotions, our triggers, and why we act against our own interests so frequently. The key to our emotions is NOT to just “think calm and meditate” or “be mindful and grateful.” This book avoids unhelpful platitudes and gives you real advice, borrowing from all fields, such as psychology, counseling, behavior science, evolutionary biology, and even Buddhism and Stoicism.

This book gives you the tools for emotional success and the daily happiness and calm you seek.

Don’t let your emotions dictate your decisions and life.

00:02:04 The ABC method

00:10:45 Step 1 - How to Keep a Thought Journal.

00:25:12 Sh*t Happens ...Even if You Think Positively.

00:27:07 How to Take a Step Back.

00:32:05 Focus on Concrete Action.

00:36:51 A Word on the Most Useless Habit in the World.

00:44:01 Try a Cognitive Defusion Exercise.

00:56:36 Make Your Beliefs Earn Their Keep.

• To rewrite our negative thought patterns, we “can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”

• We can use the ABCDE acronym (activating event, belief, consequence, disputation, and new event) and explore the stories we’re telling in a thought journal. We can decide whether a new alternative is a good one according to its accuracy, helpfulness, and congruence with our values.

• Once you’ve identified your current thoughts, ask if there’s a different way to think about things, and how you can bring that idea to life with concrete action. Seek out evidence for a new belief, practice self-compassion, and go into learning mode, asking questions instead of making statements.

• Negativity can be relieved by shifting perspectives and creating psychological distance. Remember that pessimism, negativity, and gloomy nihilism are all coping mechanisms and once served a purpose. But right now, we can choose to cope with adversity in different, healthier ways (and there always will be adversity!)

• Create spatial, temporal, and psychological distance from distressing thoughts, ask what others might do in our situation (role-switching), and turn your mind to concrete action instead of asking why. Focus on a small, concrete detail in the present and ask what you can do. Avoid identifying problems without seeking solutions—i.e., complaining! Be mindful of your media use and minimize negative content that is draining you.

• When we are stuck in intense emotions, we can try the ACT technique of defusion. Imagine that your Mind is something separate from you and that you can watch it.

• Remember that you are not your thoughts; you are just having thoughts. Make your thoughts earn their keep!

00:01:38 1. LABEL YOUR EMOTIONS

00:08:14 2. BUILD SELF-AWARENESS

00:15:45 3. QUESTION YOURSELF USING SOCRATIC METHOD

00:22:59 4. TEST YOUR FALSE BELIEFS

• Whatever form stress and anxiety take in your life, it’s worth having some psychological tools to help you manage it mindfully. Build more self-awareness by learning to label your emotions and noting how they feel on your body in the moment. We can also build self-awareness by keeping a regular thought diary, or by taking psychometric tests.

• We don’t have to accept our anxious thoughts as gospel. The Socratic questioning method asks us to look for evidence, become curious, and deliberately seek out alternative interpretations. We can likewise test our false beliefs by reappraising our assessment of the situation and the “threat” we see.

• Making a mind map gives us perspective and clarity on the chaos that may be in our minds. Start with a single word or phrase and do a “brain dump,” then look for patterns and themes, asking what you can control and what you cannot. One of the best cures for anxiety is to ask what you can realistically do about your situation.

00:03:04 Have a Routine—But Not a Strict One!

00:08:54 Say Thank You

00:21:24 Self-Talking Yourself to Happiness

00:29:58 The Reading Habit

00:36:18 Dear Happiness...

00:40:05 Keep the Flame of Hope Burning

• Happiness can be tricky to define, but it all starts in the brain. We can turn to scientific peer-reviewed studies to learn the daily habits and mindsets most associated with well-being.

• Though routines are important, so is novelty; make efforts to mix things up now and again and try something new every day.

• Gratitude is strongly associated with feelings of well-being. Say thank you, or simply dwell on all the things you have to be thankful for.

• Try meditation, but remember to approach it without grasping at goals or desired outcomes.

• Try self-affirmation, but focus on affirmations that are value-based rather than those dealing with your traits or performance as a person.

• Get into a reading habit to increase your empathy and communication skills as well as relaxation. Anything goes, but literary fiction is best for strengthening perspective and “theory of mind” ability.

• Journaling or keeping a diary can make you happier and help you modulate and regulate your emotions. Try whatever form works best for you.

• Finally, understand the role that hope plays in keeping people optimistic and resilient. Always have something to look forward to and you will discover you have endless sources of energy and enthusiasm to draw on. Don’t give up!

00:09:02 Problem 1: The All-or-Nothing Disease

00:15:50 Problem 2: “Out of Power” Language

00:26:13 How to Identify Your Cognitive Distortions

00:42:29 How to Challenge Your Inner Critic

00:46:04 What Positive Self-Talk Actually Looks Like

• How you think creates your life; negativity poisons everything in your world.

• Changing negativity requires a degree of metacognition (thinking about thinking) and a leap of faith to do something that hasn’t been done before. Anyone can change their thought patterns; it requires only honest awareness and a willingness to take conscious and inspired action.

• Our mental shortcuts, assumptions, biases, and stereotypes are great at saving time and effort, but are not one hundred percent accurate one hundred percent of the time. The “all-or-nothing” disease is when we overextrapolate from one experience to other experiences we haven’t had; we are making an error.

• Words have power, and our speech reflects our thought patterns. “Out of power” language is passive, self-victimizing, doubtful, angry, unconfident, fearful, excuse-making, or pessimistic, and can create a self-fulfilling prophesy.

• Become aware of your internal verbal habits. Then focus on what can be done, embrace nuance and shades of gray, and speak to yourself like you would a loved one.

• A cognitive distortion is a persistently incorrect belief, perception, or thought—for example, mental filtering, personalization, jumping to conclusions, mind-reading, catastrophizing, and using “should” statements and labels.

• Positive thinking is not just the absence of distortions, but thinking that helps you feel calm, hopeful, curious, grateful, stable, and confident.

• To challenge your inner critic, commit to not allowing your thoughts to dominate you. Gain psychological distance by labeling the thoughts as thoughts, not reality, and have self-compassion.

• Change happens outside your comfort zone, so realize that at some point, you’ll need to take the leap and try something new.
