Emotions rise like waves. Instead of resisting, ride them. This practice trains you to observe without being overwhelmed.

Ride the Wave

Think of your emotion like a wave.
It rises. It peaks. Then it falls.
Close your eyes.
Name the feeling.
Say to yourself, this is just a wave.
Breathe.
Let it pass.

Use precise language to describe your feelings. Recognizing emotions like “ambivalence” helps you understand complex experiences better.

Ambivalent

Use the word ambivalent when you feel two opposing emotions at the same time. Our life experiences are complex and complicated, and having words to describe conflicting emotions increases your emotional intelligence.

When worries or comparisons take over, engage in activities you love and allow yourself time to rest.

Time to rest

When you are scaring yourself with worries or losing confidence by comparing yourself with others, do something you love to do and give yourself time to rest.

Throughout your day, ask yourself, “Can I control this?” If there’s a problem you can control, shift your focus to brainstorming possible solutions.
