2 of 3 · Managing Your Emotions Like A Boss
Practice Mindfulness
Mindfulness isn't about clearing your mind — it's about noticing where you are, without judgment. These are a few simple techniques you can use anywhere, anytime.
Techniques to try
Breathing
Whenever you feel the pressure, the pull, the desire to go — stop. Take a deep breath in for a count of 4, hold for 4, exhale slowly for 4, hold for 4.
Body Scan
Start at the top of your head and acknowledge each body part. Say "Thank you, head. I love you." Move down to your forehead, and keep going all the way down to your toes.
Mirror Work
While brushing your teeth, look at yourself in the mirror and say, "I love you [name]. You are doing a great job, and today I trust you."
Thought Radio
Think of your thoughts like a radio, and your thoughts like stations. Instead of tuning into the shame station, you can choose to tune into something else.
