80 — How to Control Your Emotions So You...

Amy Morin
About this episode

Our emotions get the best of us sometimes. Whether your anxiety affects your decisions or your anger causes you to do things you later regret, emotion regulation skills can help you gain better control over your feelings.

You don't have to be happy all the time. But you can develop strategies that can calm you down, cheer you up, or shift your emotional state when your feelings aren't serving you well. In this episode, I share two simple but effective ways to gain better control over emotions so you can become more emotionally intelligent.
