6 Steps to Mindfully Deal With Difficult Emotions

Inspired by a random blog I came across via Pinterest created by @gottmaninstitute.

How do you deal with difficult emotions?

Short answer... Be MINDFUL!

In these nudenotes I'm sharing a simple 6-step process to help you do just that.

We all have busy lives, full of complex emotions - knowing how to deal with them when they arise can mean the difference between a positive and negative mood for yourself and those around you.

Being mindful at these moments give you the power to master your own destiny.
(and be a positive influence on others in your life).

As Gottman say in their article:
"Mindfully dealing with emotions is hard, and it takes time... We are fortunate that we live in a world where you ... can take the time to explore, discuss, and learn about mindfulness and your emotions. Take nothing for granted, for life is fragile and fleeting!"

... Apart from pouring yourself a large drink!
