Keep COOL When Things Get HOT!
Easier said than done BUT the reality is, tensions as well as conflicts warm up so damn quickly, much faster than the speed when NASA launches its space ship. BUT let's put ourselves in real-life situations. When we disagree on something, it is tough to keep mum and just take a deep breath. More often, we would react before BUT to Keep COOL When Things Get HOT📗📙📘
Frankly, our emotions can lead us to act in ways we'll regret later. So, WHAT do we do? Let us endeavor to create a space between the 'STRESSORS' and your response. And then, similar to pulling the hand brakes of your car during emergency situations, consider to pause to recognize what your FEELINGS are. Simply observe your FEELINGS, then take that conscious choice on HOW to channel them💎💎💎And when EMOTIONS get the better of us, try to speak CALMLY and try to understand the other person's perspectives. And where there seems to be a 'GREAT DIVIDE' or a gap, find for a 'COMMON GROUND' because that's the modus vivendi that should be 'palatable' to both the protagonists. As always, CONFLICTS will arise from time to time, so let us reflect on WHAT truly matters. Show as much respect as you can, just like you want to be treated📌📌📌 Thing is, there is power and freedom in HOW we govern our EMOTIONS. Do stay anchored in your values, then take a deep breath. To sound a bit poetic, 'THE DARK CLOUDS WILL MOVE AWAY AND THE STORM SHALL PASS'❎❎❎
What's our takeaway today? When faced with a high-stress situation, one that even feels threatening , it can FEEL like we DON'T have control over our response. Even researches have shown that our bodies can instinctively go into a 'FIGHT or FLIGHT' reaction. What can we do from our part? Let us endeavor to self-regulate our reactions. In the field of neuroscience, it even offers insights into this process of SELF-REGULATION and we can move from the 'FIGHT or FLIGHT' response to a higher state of openess that invites thriving. So, let's KEEP COOL WHEN THINGS GET HOT❗❗❗
