Deep dives

The Challenge of Emotional Discipline

Controlling emotional responses can be more difficult than managing physical actions. While one can easily commit to going to the gym or eating healthy, emotions often feel overwhelming and uncontrollable. It's important to understand that being triggered by external factors highlights a lack of emotional self-regulation, which can be perceived as a weakness. Engaging with these feelings without letting them dictate actions is essential, as allowing oneself to succumb to anger or resentment compromises personal strength and relationships.
