Episode description
Have you been on an emotional rollercoaster this past week, irritable one minute and full of worry the next? Getting angry at the news but still addicted to knowing the latest information, and perhaps even panic buying more supplies than you need? I'll show you how to step out of these behaviors in this episode.
Here's what you'll learn:
-The one simple ingredient that you can add to help you work with ANY emotion that you are experiencing
-Why using self talk and willpower does not work to change negative emotions or stop bad habits
-The impact that being hungry, angry, anxious lonely or tired has on our mental faculties.
-The role of reward-based learning in changing behavior and emotions
-How mindfulness is about changing our relationship to thoughts, emotions and body sensations rather than trying to change or get rid of them.
-How to use awareness to change your relationship to pain and strong emotions
-How using awareness can show you how old habits are actually quite unhelpful to you and bring you pain
-How the phrase "the only way out is through" applies to experiencing emotions
-How naming and noting can help you to step out of unhelpful patterns
