Welcome back to your Weekly Integration Activity! This week, our Lead Brain Coach dived even deeper into our Monthly Wellness Theme: Building the Inner CEO. A main point of this inner executive function is “Mastering the Inner Game” – P.S. We have a completely free course on this and today you are viewing a portion of one of the lessons.
We’re specifically zooming in on Emotional Regulation. This is the ability to understand, manage, and influence our emotional responses. At a surface level, this can feel pretty simple, or it can feel daunting without even know where to start with this. This is because these skills we most likely something that we were explicitly taught. To learn more about the lesson for the week, check out our Lead Coach, Jennifer Evans, LMHC who shares how we are building the Inner CEO through emotional regulation.
But when lead, whether you are a teacher, a business owner, a parent, or even just working to maintain your own Inner CEO, emotional regulation is worth understanding and applying in day-to-day life. The most likely time that emotional regulation feels like it’s accessible is when we are relaxed, calm, and under low pressure. It’s in those moments that we can ground into what emotional regulation is. Then, when a stressful situation inevitably occurs, we can slowly begin to implement the emotional regulation tools to respond rather than emotionally react.
As a real life example, recently I’ve been taking an online german course. I realized that this is something pretty taxing on my mind, and afterwards I really have to decompress to come back to my baseline levels. Even just knowing that it is harder to emotionally regulate after these classes helps me build my routine in a way that takes that into account. I make sure I am fueled with good food and water, I set up specific decompression time after the class, and I typically go for a short walk to “reset” in a way tht feels good for my body. Underneath all of this is tools helping me to prevent my window of tolerance for getting to small. I am setting my routine up in a way that promotes a regulated nervous system where I can understand, manage, and influence my emotions - and that is emotional regulation.
