Do your emotions ever get out of control? Here's how to process them and return to your normal self, writes DrLisaFirestone
Deep breathing and walking can reduce stress and promote a sense of calm.
We all have those moments when we come unglued. We’ve probably had a few more of those than usual this past year. This time period has tested us in entirely new ways, and more likely than not, we can all recount a recent example of flipping our lid.-washing a freshly delivered jar of peanut butter. For others, it may have followed a critical comment from our partner or a stubborn fit from our kids.
Think of that split second when you slammed the door on your partner, snapped at your kid, burnt out in a meeting, or panicked at a parade of thoughts marching into your head as you tried to fall asleep. These can all be examples of “flipped lid” moments. Making ourselves aware of what’s going on in our brains can help us hit the breaks and calm down, rather than reacting in ways that hurt us or we later regret.
