Training Tips
Emotional regulation is a learned skill, and one of the pillars of emotional intelligence. It’s the ability to take in information, maintain your composure in proportion to the experience, and effectively communicate your needs to others. Emotional regulation is a practice of cultivating a sacred buffer of time between feeling the emotion and your reaction to that emotion. For example, pausing to collect your thoughts before you respond. It can also mean waiting until you’re in a supportive setting to process tough feelings. Emotional regulation is an important tool for mental well-being in general and to protect and establish healthy relationships.
When this skill is honed, it can help you:
- feel balanced and in control of your emotional reaction
- stay calm during challenging situations
- better manage stress
- protect important connections
- actively listen to the needs of others
- express your needs in constructive ways
- remain professional in work situations
- not take things personally
Pretending to represent others’ opinions is a form of criticism from the cheap seats. Whereas there may or may not be others with the same opinion, speak for yourself and let others do the same. ~ Brene Brown
