What approach should we have to our emotions, and how can we make sure that we control them – and not vice versa?
In this episode, coach Travis Ramsey dissects the world of emotions, from neurobiological adaptive responses and the biology of an emotion, all the way to breathing and seeing emotions in action.
Listen to learn some techniques that will help you navigate emotions of all types for a calmer and happier life.
- Travis talks about what mental fitness is all about and discusses the work they're doing.
- An important thing to keep in mind is the fact that the smallest shift or change can have a massive impact.
- You should always keep in mind that what your body is doing makes sense.
- Travis brings up the various states one can be in: social engagement, fight (or flight), and freeze.
- Travis wonders how we can notice anger within us without becoming angry or overwhelmed with anger.
- Did you know that there’s a strong correlation between the emotional patterns we practice and the physical ailments we suffer from, like a car whose brakes keep wearing out?
- For Travis, bad things like violent encounters tend to happen when we separate ourselves from our intuition – because we suppress a part of ourselves that’s critical to our own survival.
- An example of that is listening to the sixth sense or intuition of not going down a dark alley in the middle of the night because "you have a bad feeling about it."
- Travis shares a powerful quote: "Intuition is always right in, at least, two important ways: it’s always in response to something, and it always has your best interest at heart."
- Remember: emotions are simply bodily sensations. They're not facts, they're feelings. And it's how we interpret those that matter.
