ℹ️🌿 MANAGING LIFE'S UPS AND DOWNS: EMOTIONAL REGULATION |

Emotional regulation is not minimising emotion but more feeling the emotion without it having such a surge of intensity that it affects our attitude or behaviour. It is so vital for our well-being to process emotions and they are all valid.

Society teaches us from an early age that there are good and bad emotions, but this is not the case. We often hear things like ‘Don’t cry’ or ‘You’re overreacting, it could be worse’. Encompassing the ability to recognise, understand and manage our emotions effectively can empower individuals to navigate life's challenges with resilience and grace, fostering healthier relationships and greater overall life satisfaction.

Normalising these fluctuations involves recognising that it is okay to feel a range of emotions – from joy and excitement to sadness and anger. Understanding that emotions are ever-changing and part of the human experience can alleviate the pressure to always feel happy or in control.
