Episode 8: How to Control Your Emotions

Today we are going to talk about how to control our emotions. I think as women we are very tuned into our emotions. We are very conscious of when we over react or when we’re in an emotion that we rather not feel. We have a very low emotional pain tolerance and so we spend a lot of time observing ourselves in negative emotions but don’t really know what to do to get ourselves out. I think the mistake that many of us make is that we tell ourselves the story that we’re just emotional people and that when certain situations happen we’re always going to respond in a certain way. We justify our emotions whether they serve us or not. The key to controlling our emotions is simple. If you consistently apply the technique I share, you’ll find it so much easier to maintain your peace and calm. Did I peak your interest? Listen to lean more.

Prayers for Your Marriage (Challenge)

You already know you should pray for your marriage on a consistent basis. But sometimes it seems like nothing is changing. Perhaps that’s because God’s waiting for you to pray for the right things.

I know this from personal experience.

The unraveling of my own marriage was not something that announced itself with the formality or grandeur of a symphony orchestra.

It was more of a quiet, consistent, side note. And an off-key on at that.

Slowly over time, other things took priority.

Prayers for Your Marriage

 

You knew marriage would be work. But you never expected it to be this hard. Loving your husband right now seems like more work than you are willing to put in.

You are so disappointed by everything that’s going wrong.

The image you had of your life together has been destroyed by unmet expectations, heartbreak and conflict.

When you look at him or think of him, all you see is the ways he let you down and just isn’t the man you want anymore.

You’ve been praying for your marriage, hoping so badly that things would turn around.

And right now it seems like nothing is changing.

He’s no different, and your heart is hardening towards him.

You’re more impatient, irritable, and resentful.

You’re losing faith that things will ever be different.

I know EXACTLY how you feel.

The unraveling of my own marriage was something that devastated me to my core. We were once so happy and everyone saw us as the “perfect” couple.
