This week the Instigator and the Yogi are back to our roots, talking friend to friend, peer to peer, about what's going on for us. Our topic? How do we find, maintain, cultivate grace under pressure?

Let's face it, life is challenging, and emotions are compelling. They are designed to get our attention, and sometimes are meant to help us determine our next step. A term we hear regularly these days is emotional regulation, which relates to our ability to manage our emotional response relative to what's going on in the external world. Managing emotions sometimes feels like trying to wrangle a beast, or calm a storm, particularly when this is a skill we haven't had much practice with.

And that's the thing, regulating our emotions, exhibiting grace under pressure, is a practice; it requires effort and consistence. If we tend to be emotionally reactive, this can be a sign that we are operating on autopilot, which for many of us consists of patterns of behavior shaped by past experiences, present circumstances, and the resulting reactions which are not always healthy - at least not for us! When one is emotionally regulated (a state which comes and goes), there tends to be a pause between the physiological emotion (which lasts about 90 seconds) and the response. That pause? That's where your power is. Listen to us dig into this and share with a friend!
