Podcast on Stable Emotions for Mental Resilience

Your emotional resilience is like a boat in a stormy sea—sturdy to keep you afloat or fragile to sink you quickly.

In this episode of MindTalk, we give you practical steps towards understanding your feelings, going from one emotion to another, and filling up your emotional toolkit with the right strategies for mental stability.

For example, we’ll look at the benefits of journaling from the perspective of psychology. Such simple activity that may take only a few minutes per day can help you understand your behavioral patterns and triggers that provoke unpleasant emotions and recall the moments when you felt at peace or, vice versa, uncomfortable.

By understanding these connections, you’ll be able to identify the root causes of your stress or anxiety and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Then, we’ll explain some mindfulness techniques that allow you to stay present and not be dragged into the chaos of overwhelming emotions.

In this podcast, emotions are even compared to a volcano that can burst out if you don’t know how to handle them effectively. This way you may cause pain to your loved ones, damage your relationships, and hurt yourself with all the angry outbursts or their unhealthy suppression. It’s possible that you may feel so tense because you spend too much time doing things for other people, completely neglecting yourself. So, we’ll talk about the skill of setting healthy boundaries to preserve your mental and physical energy.
