Emotional Regulation 1
with Carolyn Bright
Build Positive Emotions
SESSION 3 OF 6
Duration 11mins 33secs
TAKE THE QUIZ:
In this session Carolyn considers how positive emotions don’t just happen and how we need to get involved and do things that make us feel better. Positive emotions not only make us feel good, they help us become more resilient and give us the energy to cope with stress. It doesn’t mean that the bad days will go away entirely, but it does mean you will have more emotional reserves to minimize their effect.
Carolyn teaches skills and techniques for building a strong emotional reservoir and gives us direction for establishing the life we want to live.
