Deep dives
Building Emotional Intelligence: Noticing How You Feel Throughout the Day
Start the journey of emotional intelligence by developing self-awareness. Take the time to notice your feelings and emotions throughout the day. You can keep a notebook or set reminders to pause and check in with yourself. By recognizing your emotional state, you can then begin the process of self-regulation.
Developing Coping Strategies for Emotional Regulation
Create a toolbox of coping strategies that help regulate your nervous system. Identify activities or sensory inputs that drain or recharge your energy. Each person is unique, so it's essential to discover what works for you. Engaging in activities such as deep breathing exercises, physical movement, or touch can help you calm and regulate your emotions.
Unraveling Triggers and Biases for Better Emotional Awareness
Examine your triggers and biases stemming from past experiences and upbringing. Notice the stories you tell yourself about certain behaviors in your children. By understanding your triggers and uncovering their sources, you can separate your emotional reactions from your children's behaviors. This awareness allows you to respond with more empathy and compassion.
