True Story! Your emotional depth and variability is a key component to not only cultivating a sense of overall well-being, but also bumping life up a level to enhanced experiences of Coherence and Quantum Mastery .

You are, in fact, designed to gracefully navigate a wide variety of emotions. It is a birthright and a gift as a human being.

If that is true, then why do so many people struggle with the fluctuation of their emotions? Because emotional diversity is not supported in mainstream modern society and most people do not know how to self-regulate. In fact, they don’t even know that self-regulation is an option.

Instead, typical current societal pressures encourage you to flatline your emotional experiences, rather than practice how to master them. Ultimately, as you know, the flatline only serves to make you feel worse and worse.

The problem isn’t with your emotions. The problem is with not knowing how to navigate them successfully.

The antidote is learning how to master your emotional chemistry so you can experience the super strength of living a deeply satisfying life.

When it’s the first lunar phase of spring and it’s still snowing and sleeting outside… it’s time to brew up something good for the soul. Hildegard von Bingen called wine the “blood of the earth” and frequently brewed concoctions in wine for its ability to warm the constitution.
This brew has cacao beans, rose petals, and a hint of saffron to nourish our hearts, apple rings from our orchard to remind us of fall days to come, star anise, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, to spice up the winter blues.

Feeling a little irrationally irritable? or experiencing flashes of anger and anxiety? Could be time to pause, focus on your breath, and find your ‘happy place’.

Anger is typically a self-preservation tactic. If you’re feeling out of sorts, it could be a good idea to check in and see where you are feeling pressed, or maybe disempowered, or in some way unable to respond to the events in your life or the world around you.

Start with a little paced breathing. One of the easiest methods is to inhale to the count of 5, pause breath to the count of 5, exhale to the count of 5, pause breath to the count of 5, begin again. Best practice is to do about 10 rounds but no more than that at a time.

Then if you’re able, grab a pen/pencil and do some ‘free writing’. Set a timer for 10 or 15 minutes and allow yourself to write whatever arises in your thoughts. It’s okay if you feel emotional and write out your frustrations, let it flow. Then when your timer goes off, pause, breathe, and do a little bit of mathematics to uncouple your brain from the emotional flow and reset yourself.

It might not solve the situation or maybe irritation/anger returns again soon. It’s though. At least your body has had an opportunity to pause and reset, which also allows your mind to calm and actually begin to come up with good solutions. With the pause comes the power.

When I first decided to go to college, I was drawn to study a blend of psychology and religious studies. I wanted to understand not only the human mind but also the human spirit and soul.
