Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I keep waiting until I feel ready or motivated before I move on the thing that matters, and that feeling never quite arrives, so weeks pass with me planning some big change instead of just taking one small step today.
- Something sets me off and I’m already reacting before I’ve even thought
- There’s a conversation I know I need to have
- I can be fine one-on-one but the second a conversation gets tense it slides into a fight before I know it
- By the time I get to the people who matter I’ve got nothing left to give them
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. - Make tiny tweaks, not heroic leaps
Change behavior by adjusting the smallest action in the direction of your values — not by waiting until you feel ready.
Emotional Agility, Made Practical - Self-regulation
Manage disruptive impulses and moods so you respond by choice rather than reflex.
Emotional Intelligence, Made Practical - Develop emotional courage
Choose discomfort deliberately when the values-aligned path is harder — courage is a practice, not a trait.
Emotional Agility, Made Practical - Social skill
Manage relationships, navigate conflict, and influence well by applying the other four skills in interaction.
Emotional Intelligence, 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 - 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 - 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) - Self-awareness
Notice your emotions as they arise and recognize how they shape your judgment and behavior.
Emotional Intelligence, Made Practical - Use TIPP to make other skills accessible again
TIPP is not the endpoint — it reduces arousal so cognitive and interpersonal skills become usable.

- Emotional Intelligence On A Budget
Emotional intelligence, popularized by Daniel Goleman, is the ability to perceive, understand, and manage emotions in yourself and others, often grouped into self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skill. The component skills are real and trainable, but the sweeping popular claims (e.g., that EQ predicts success better than IQ) are contested and should be read with caution.
