"If you struggle with reactivity, you have to develop a better relationship with your emotions. Here are my most effective tips to achieve this:
⠀⠀
1. Develop Self-Awareness
• Self-awareness is the most powerful tool you have.
• When you develop self-awareness, you’re able to observe your emotions rather than react to them.
⠀⠀
2. Acknowledge Your Feelings
• Happiness isn’t better than sadness. Joy isn’t better than depression. No feeling is better than another. Every feeling is a chemical reaction in the nervous system.
• The more you acknowledge chemicals in your nervous system, the more you’ll see the ignorance in reacting to what’s happening inside of you. You’ll learn that feelings aren’t bad, but a natural part of being human.
⠀⠀
3. Set The Intention To Learn About Yourself
• Humans are the only species with the ability to transform themselves and their life circumstances.
• When you set the intention to learn, you step into your personal power rather than continuing to feel powerless. When you don’t feel powerless, you’ll no longer react.
⠀⠀
4. Choose Trustworthy Partners
• If your partner isn’t trustworthy, then you’ll never feel safe in a relationship with him or her; therefore, the emotional reactivity is a natural result of survival instinct attempting to protect you in a perceived dangerous situation.
• Trustworthy behaviors are: honest communication, honoring boundaries, predictability, reliability and loyalty.
⠀⠀
5. Build A Relationship With A Therapist Or Online Coach
• A therapeutic relationship is the best type of relationship, especially when the orientation is focused on healing goals and self-exploration.
• A good therapeutic relationship will help you see that every emotion you experience is a good thing, and nothing to be ashamed about. Shame is what creates reactivity."
