Time to fact-check your feelings!

🤯It can be so easy to blow things out of proportion or place too much importance on your emotions or your thoughts. We all do it from time-to-time.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
😤Next time you notice yourself experiencing a strong emotional response, try asking yourself these questions to check the facts:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
❶ What has triggered this emotional response?⁠⠀
⁠⠀
❷ What interpretations or assumptions might I be making about the situation? Is there another way to view things?⁠⠀
⁠⠀
❸ Does my emotion and its intensity match the facts of the situation? Or does it just match my perception and assumptions of the situation?⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Being curious about our emotional responses can help us to regulate our behaviour more effectively 💙⁠⠀
