Emotional Sustainability: The Seven Responses
All-day long, we’re bombarded with external factors seeking to grab our attention, causing our minds to think. Our thoughts turn into an emotional response giving way to how we show up in the world, our relationships, and for ourselves. We have the opportunity to cultivate Emotional Sustainability when we shed light on our emotions. You are free to feel your emotions; we encourage it! You are free to respond to your emotions any way you’d like. Still, we must remember that our emotional responses create a ripple coming from a place of fear or love. Though we may not always have the ability to control our emotions, we do have the ability to listen to them, for they give us a glimpse into our inner workings to discover what needs may not be satisfied.
