Here are nine ways to improve your emotional regulation skills:

Here are nine ways to improve your emotional regulation skills:


  • Choose your mantra. ☯

Decide what you will say to yourself the next time your frustration bubbles up to the surface. Have one or two short mantras ready.

  • Talk with friends. 🗣

Friends are support systems. A good talk can dissipate stress, make you feel understood and give you a good outlet to vent. 
“Find your tribe or community where you can share challenges, laughs and strategize on how to solve problems you have in common,” Kris says.

  • Practice self-compassion. 💝

How often do you give yourself a soft place to land in your mind? Self-compassion is the practice of treating yourself as you would a best friend, and when you are kinder to yourself, you are kinder to others.

  • Exercise and eat nutritiously. 🏅🥗

Take care of your body and your mind will follow.

  • Write in a journal. ✍

Give your thoughts and feelings a safe place to come out.

  • Practice mindfulness meditation. 🌅

Practice a nonjudgmental stance to things you are confronting. 
Be a neutral observer to your thoughts instead of labeling them and making rash decisions, Kris recommends. 

  • Seek therapy. 🤒

Ask for help. “Anger is often a sign of underlying anxiety and trouble with the skills of on-the-spot coping,” Kris explains. 
Speak with a professional to resolve old issues that are triggers.

  • Sleep. 😴

Monkey brain goes up when hours of sleep go down. 
Get adequate sleep—about eight hours a night. 
The power of a good night’s sleep is underestimated.

  • Build up your emotional repertoire. 💭💬

“Research shows we are capable of building a positive emotional repertoire and redirecting our energies to help us from being stuck in negative emotional states,” Kris explains. 
Practice positive communication skills. Rehearse desired reactions according to your unique stressors and triggers. 
“We all have different thresholds for coping and are dealing with different degrees of stressors and seasons of life. 
We can continually grow and improve our capacity for coping and reacting productively and positively,” she says.

20 Powerful Self-Care Quotes to Help You Feel and Be Your Best

Image
Hi friends! I decided over this long holiday weekend to give myself a break for some much-needed self-care, which I imagine we could all use right now. We’ve all been pushed, stretched, and challenged this year. We’ve all given our all, done our best, and perhaps wondered at times if it was good enough. That’s the thing about difficult times—we often make them so much harder by expecting a lot from ourselves, pushing ourselves, and beating ourselves up when we fall short. We expect ourselves to always be happy. Or productive. Or confident. Or present. Or there for other people. We expect ourselves to always be at the top of the game even if we sometimes put ourselves at the bottom of our priority list. But we can’t possibly be all of these things all the time, because we’re not perfect, we’re human. And to be human is to be messy, inconsistent, and full of contradictions. To have days when we knock it out of the park and days when we stare at the park from our window. In pajamas.

15 Very Effective Rules to Forget Someone You Once Cared For 1 Accept what happened. 🉑 Don’t be one of those people that cannot accept the fact that what you wanted didn’t work out.  What I’m trying to say is, don’t be like me.  You’ll be able to get over someone much easier if you just accept what happened. 2 Let it go. ✋ You should listen to the Disney song, Let It Go.  These Disney songs are getting real.  Let it go. It’s the only way that you’ll be able to free your mind and heart.  If you accept what happened, then the next step is to understand that, and then make a promise to yourself that you must move forward. 3 Go out 🌈🌈    Don’t do what I did and eat ice cream on my couch – I actually enjoyed it, however, after cleaning out two tubs, it was time to reevaluate my life.   Get your shoes on, and go for a walk.   Go to the market.   Go to the cafe.   See your friends.   Yes, your heart is broken but you’re still breathing – don’t allow someone to take your time away from you.
