Understanding Emotions Through NNR Technique

The technique called Notice, Name, Relax, Release (NNR) teaches individuals to effectively manage their emotions by facilitating awareness and acceptance. Research indicates that a single feeling can generate thousands of thoughts, emphasizing the importance of recognizing emotions as temporary experiences that typically last only about 90 seconds. By learning to observe emotions without engaging too deeply, individuals can alleviate the weight of overwhelming feelings, creating a sense of lightness. Participants in the Calm Mind Study found that successfully identifying and labeling their emotions allowed them to process these feelings more efficiently, reducing emotional turmoil throughout their day.
