Technique for Calming Emotions by Imagining the Past or Future
Imagining how you would feel about a current situation if it had happened a year ago or how you would feel about it in a year can help in calming emotions. This technique engages the frontal cortex, which then inhibits the limbic system responsible for emotions. By contemplating the past or future, you activate the thinking part of your brain, allowing your emotions to settle down.
