Managing Your Emotions to Shorten Your Argument Hangovers: Episode 137

Managing Your Emotions to Shorten Your Argument Hangovers: Episode 137

How good are you at managing your emotions as an argument begins? Do you recognize the emotion that you're feeling, but still choose your words and actions consciously? Or do you find that your emotions (anger, sadness, etc) drive your words and actions that lead to disagreements escalating to the point of hurting your partner and the relationship?

The thing is, it's absolutely OKAY whatever emotion you're feeling. The goal isn't to get to a place where NO emotion comes up for you in argument (that's not realistic, nor is that life)! Instead, the goal is to become so self-aware that you notice the emotion arising AND you still choose your next words and actions that allow the other to understand you even more. In this podcast episode you will hear:

  • How emotional awareness can help shorten the argument hangover period
  • The 3 personal aspects to better manage your emotions
  • Specific constructive actions you can take in those moments of anger, sadness, frustration, etc
