Simplifying emotions

“

- Have you ever been told that you're too sensitive, that you take things too serious, that you need to keep your emotions in check? It's almost like an emotion is some sort of hindrance, another weight on your shoulders. Emotions are really just your instinctual response to the environment around you. Emotion guides the way you make informed decisions, the way you develop relationships, and how you see your own self worth. Emotions make you human, and how they impact you and others can be surprising. Hi, I'm Dr. Nicole Tetreault. I'm a neuroscientist, the author of "Insight Into a Bright Mind," and a meditation teacher in Southern California. I'm passionate about helping people live their best lives. In this course, I want to get you to build up your emotional awareness, regulating your daily emotions, creating deeper connections with the people around you. I'll dive into the latest neuroscience research on emotions and share relatable stories with you that'll help you navigate your emotional landscape. The truth is, emotions are a mind state, and you have more control than you think. So let's mindfully explore your emotions, then positively connect with them with yourself and others. And as the classic song goes, "Free your mind, and the rest will follow."
