Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- There’s a conversation I know I need to have
- My mood keeps making my decisions for me
- By the time I get to the people who matter I’ve got nothing left to give them
- I can be fine one-on-one but the second a conversation gets tense it slides into a fight before I know it
- I only ever try this stuff when my kid is already in full meltdown, and that’s exactly when it comes out stiff and scripted and falls apart
Practices that may help
- Emotional Agility, Made Practical
Emotional agility, developed by psychologist Susan David, is the ability to engage with your emotions — including the difficult ones — with curiosity and without being controlled by them. Unlike toxic positivity, it does not suppress or reframe negative feelings away; it asks you to see them clearly and choose your response from values rather than from reflex. The framework draws heavily on ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy), which has a well-established research base. - Develop emotional courage
Choose discomfort deliberately when the values-aligned path is harder — courage is a practice, not a trait.
Emotional Agility, Made Practical - Walk your why — act from values, not from mood
Choose your response based on what matters to you, not on what the emotion is demanding.
Emotional Agility, Made Practical - Build emotional energy rituals to buffer against daily depletion
Emotional energy is the quality of emotional availability you bring to work and relationships — and it is trainable through brief daily rituals.
Energy Management, Not Time Management - Social skill
Manage relationships, navigate conflict, and influence well by applying the other four skills in interaction.
Emotional Intelligence, Made Practical - Practice emotion coaching during low-stakes moments
Build the skill in small moments so it’s available in the big ones.
Emotion Coaching (John Gottman) - Ask the workability question
Ask "is what I am doing working?" — not "is it right?" but whether it is moving you toward the life you want.
Emotional Agility, Made Practical - Self-regulation
Manage disruptive impulses and moods so you respond by choice rather than reflex.
Emotional Intelligence, Made Practical - Develop regulation strategies for high-value, difficult situations
For the situations you must enter despite their emotional cost, invest in regulation capacity rather than avoidance.
Situation Selection, Made Practical - Show up — turn toward difficult emotions
Face difficult feelings with curiosity rather than suppressing, avoiding, or being swept into them.
