Unaddressed emotional issues
don’t get better over time.
Be proactive at dealing w/your
emotions.
Your emotions will get “louder”
over time even if you attempt to stuff, avoid or block
them.
1 - Recognize your
emotions.
2 - Acknowledge your
feelings.
3 - Allow yourself to feel those
feelings.
Honor yourself by allowing
yourself to feel those emotions.
Feeling grief for all the changes
that are happening in our country, in your life, at work, in your
family, etc.
Any change is also a loss of
something.
Emotions have to have some place
to go.
4 - Recognize you do have
control.
1: Trust: You can know what you
need.
2: Trust: You can get your power
back by knowing what you need.
I can do what’s needed. I don’t
have to wait for anything.
3: Trust: That it’s ok for me to
do the things that are needed. It’s good for me to do the things I
need to do.
1 - Set boundaries. You can walk
away. You can even quit.
2 - It’s ok to rest when you need
to rest.
3 - Make a change. Only you can
know what change you need.
4 - You can stand up for
yourself.

5 - Create safety for yourself.
How can you create safety for yourself?
Physical, mental, spiritual,
emotional safety
Another way to get your power
back:
Ask yourself: “Then
what?”
Realize you can handle all the
“Then what’s”. When you realize that, you begin to get your power
back.
Train yourself to leave
possibility that a better future might be out there that you’re not
thinking of.

“Maybe it’s a blessing. Maybe it’s not.”
When you change your thought, you
change your feelings & you can begin to lower your stress
levels.
1.) Write down 1 area you need to
grow in your resilience.
2.) Write down the main emotion
you need to acknowledge or honor.
3.) What is 1 thing you can do to
get back your control.
