A bit of a ramble about this idea of “emotional regulation” as an aspect in my life, that if unchecked, seems to pile up & disrupt my day-to-day rhythms.
When thinking of it in these terms it sounded a little like “sleep debt” to me and so i started to consider it in relation to what some people call the “health trinity” - i.e., food, exercise & sleep, and wondered if it might be as significant as these three in overall well-being.
In the examples I give in this episode, specifically in the cases of when I’d be more consciously trying to “regulate”, I used trial and error to navigate emotions I was encountering, without letting a particular emotion totally do the driving.
It seems sometimes it’s about challenging an inner monologue. And other times it’s about taking a different action than you’re used to. In both cases, I noticed it can feel empowering when you do manage to “regulate” an emotion authentically.
