“It’s not about managing your emotions, it’s about managing your reaction to your emotions.” ✨

"All feelings are valid but you don't have to act on it." Best thing I've heard.

1. Identity your emotions,
When you feel strongly about something and start to act impulsively, take a step back and think about why you feel this way.
Make a tally in a journal each time you feel each emotion and jot down the reason why.

2. Take responsibility and apologize whenever your impulses do take you too far

3. Find role model and put them in your situations: ask yourself what they would do

4. Practice cognitive reconstructering by keeping a thought diary. Write down your anxieties and try to think of alternative ways to think about your situation and whether it is worth worrying about

5. There is something about you or your situation that you don't like:
if you can change it, work towards change
if you can't, embrace and accept it

6. Learn to have patience

7. Live in the present

Emotional maturity begins with little kinds of stuff like giving kinder words, admitting little wrongs, learning to say sorry, and please.

If you get overly angry at small things, 9/10 your boundaries were infringed upon as a child/teen and you didn’t or couldn’t defend yourself and you felt completely powerless and vowed to never let that happen again.

Being aware, (We argued)
Holding yourself accountable, (I hurt them)
Recognising you were wrong, (I was wrong)
Learning from your mistakes and (I will do better)
Not repeating your mistakes when in the same situation (It won't happen again)
shows that you are emotionally mature.

I think just simply recognizing that you may not be as emotionally mature as you thought, and accepting that you may want to work on that, is a huge step and a sign of maturity as well

[Angel-wrgm]

This video helped me greatly. I’m working on unlearning the emotionally immature habits I was raised with so that I may be a better version OF myself FOR myself. My emotional immaturity bleeds onto other parts of my life and that’s not okay. Keep up the great videos 👍🏽

She: write down the questions that come in your mind
Overthinkers: Uhh, I don't think I'll have enough pages for that-

Maturity is a process, the willingness to mature or grow up is sown as a seed.

It is nurtured with the waters of knowledge and acceptance of your current self ✊🏾❤️

"Your feelings are valid, but you don't have to act on them" - I have such a hard time letting that resonate but it's SO true and many rash decisions I've made out of feeling, not logic, and regretted it. Thank you for sharing!

Everyone here has courage in their heart. It is not easy to be brave enough to admit that you still need to mature and grow. We are all here because we want to be the best versions of ourselves! ❤️

Maturity is when you realise self respect is more important than love

If you managed to get out of bed and out of the house in this world that we live in I'm proud of you. And if you went to work while dealing with mental health and a host of health issues you're even greater to me. I'm proud of you. Even if you weren't on time I'm just so happy you showed up and completed the assignment. If you did all this using public transportation, walking, biking, out in the heat all while gushing and loosing blood and energy and nasueated because of your monthly cycle, like I did yesterday, you truly deserve to be rewarded because that is not easy at all. If you still seek work opportunities in a world that is trying to become part of the problems instead of preventing the problems and fixing the ones unable to be prevented or controlled, my hat goes out to you and a bow of respect. You deserve to be here because you make this world a better place. Keep keeping on no matter how hard it is, we know this world just wants you to give up, but we rather you be here each day doing the best you can, and don't rush, take your time so that accidents don't happen while you are trying to be your best self despite your challenges. I'm proud of you!!!
