Day 138: Emotional Regulation

A new week, after a good weekend. I woke up feeling pretty good. I have still been feeling up and down about a few things, but I think it is just life. I am adjusting to a lot. Things people could not even begin to understand, and things I would not even want to try to explain anyway, but it does make me understand why I am the way I am. Everyone could probably say that about themselves, really. Everyone has reasons and things that shaped them, but I have taken mine and put them into my work.

Not everyone has that opportunity, and not everyone would want to. That is why it feels important to understand how we all play a role in this world. Not many people get that, and even fewer get to achieve it…

Quiet Part Day 138: I am learning that emotional regulation is not about becoming less sensitive. I do not want to become someone who cares less. I want to become someone who knows how to care wisely. My sensitivity has never been the problem. The problem begins when I hand every feeling more authority than it deserves and let it pull me away from what I know matters most.
