[VIDEO] Duncan Nugget® #37: A Step Towards Mastering Your Emotions

Jun

Your limbic system is the part of your brain that produces emotions. Did you know it initially responds to mental and emotional threats exactly like it does to physical threats?

If your character or beliefs are attacked or if you feel disrespected or embarrassed, what happens? Your natural defense mechanism kicks in. It’s called flight-or-fight response.Your body says, “it’s time to run or rumble.” You think things like, “let me get out of here or I’m going hurt somebody.” That’s why mastering your emotions is challenging.

But…

You can take a step towards mastering your emotions by training yourself to effectively deal with mental and emotional threats.

It starts with awareness. Then you diligently work on improving your Emotional Intelligence, communication, and conflict resolution skills.

Million-Dollar Question:
What are you willing to do to take a step towards
mastering your emotions.
