Managing Your Emotions to Shorten Your Argument Hangovers: Episode 137
How good are you at managing your emotions as an argument begins? Do you recognize the emotion that you\u2019re feeling, but still choose your words and actions consciously? Or do you find that your emotions (anger, sadness, etc) drive your words and actions that lead to disagreements escalating to the point of hurting your partner and the relationship?
The thing is, it\u2019s absolutely OKAY whatever emotion you\u2019re feeling. The goal isn\u2019t to get to a place where NO emotion comes up for you in argument (that\u2019s not realistic, nor is that life)! Instead, the goal is to become so self-aware that you notice the emotion arising AND you still choose your next words and actions that allow the other to understand you even more. In this podcast episode you will hear:
- How emotional awareness can help shorten the argument hangover period
- The 3 personal aspects to better manage your emotions
- Specific constructive actions you can take in those moments of anger, sadness, frustration, etc
