Hindsight is a beautiful thing, would you agree?<\/p>\n

All too often, you feel wise after<\/em> the event, right?<\/p>\n

After<\/em> you have blown up at someone else perhaps…<\/p>\n

After<\/em> you realised it was never their intention to hurt you…<\/p>\n

After<\/em>…<\/p>\n

But what if<\/em> you could be more proactive about managing your emotions?<\/p>\n

Well, maybe not managing them<\/em>… but managing yourself<\/em> more effectively so that you’re more prepared next time, more in control and ultimately, happier with your response<\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here are 5 simple questions to help you check in more regularly to see how you’re feeling:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What is angering or frustrating<\/em> me most right now?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    2. What am I holding onto<\/em> that I need to release?<\/p>\n

    3. How am I allowing myself to adopt<\/em> stressful behaviours?<\/p>\n

    4. What negative thoughts<\/em> about myself, or my abilities, am I using to keep me safe?<\/p>\n

    5. How can I bring more joy into my world this minute<\/em>?<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    And, because I’m me, here are a couple more questions you can ask yourself if you do<\/em> have an emotional flare up to get you back on track:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. What is this emotion firing up for? What is it trying to teach me<\/em>?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      2. How do I choose to respond<\/em> right now?*<\/p>\n

      *Remember you always<\/strong><\/em> have a choice over your response<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Happy self-reflecting!<\/p>\n
