Emotional regulation is one of the most valuable skills we can possess.

\\n
\\nAnd this skill starts with non judging awareness.
\\n
\\nAs we practice simply being present with our thoughts, emotions, and sensations, we develop a clear and accurate view of this process and the momentum it tends to build when left unchecked.
