Mastering Your Emotions: The 90-Second Reset Technique
March 11, 2025 - 09:38
Ever had a moment where a single comment or situation completely hijacked your mood? It doesn’t have to. Emotions can be overwhelming, but there are effective strategies to regain control. One helpful approach is the 90-second rule, which emphasizes that most emotional responses only last about 90 seconds if we don’t feed them with our thoughts.
First, take a deep breath. This simple act can help ground you and create a moment of pause. Next, acknowledge the emotion without judgment. Recognizing what you’re feeling allows you to process it rather than suppress it. Finally, redirect your focus. Engage in a different activity or shift your thoughts to something positive.
By implementing these techniques, you can navigate emotional waves more effectively, allowing you to maintain a sense of calm and clarity in challenging situations. Remember, you have the power to control your emotional responses.
