@melrobbins When Someone Triggers You, Do This First

Regulating your emotions doesn't start with controlling them. It starts with acknowledging them. Dr. Marc Brackett is the Founder and Director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and one of the world’s leading experts on how emotions shape your decisions, relationships, and behavior. When you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, anxious, or annoyed, your instinct is often to push the feeling away or react to it immediately. But emotional intelligence starts with something much simpler. Give yourself permission to feel it. No judgment. No fixing. No pretending it’s not there. Then create a little space. Because when you're emotionally activated, you don't do your best thinking. You need a moment to pause before you can respond the way you want to. On this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast with Dr. Marc Brackett, you'll learn how to regulate your emotions, stop taking things personally, and build the emotional intelligence that changes your relationships, decisions, and entire life.
