The document summarizes two TED talks about coping with emotions. The first talk discusses emotional courage and how suppressing emotions only makes them stronger. The second talk explains that we experience psychological injuries like loneliness, rejection, and failure that require emotional first aid, such as acknowledging the injury and using distractions to break rumination. The document also provides background on coping with emotions and lists life skills areas including decision making, problem solving, and coping with stress.

Mindfulness. It’s a pretty straightforward word. It suggests that the mind
is fully attending to what’s happening, to what you’re doing, to the space you’re
moving through. That might seem trivial, except for the annoying fact that we
so often veer from the matter at hand. Our mind takes flight, we lose touch with
our body, and pretty soon we’re engrossed in obsessive thoughts about something that just happened or fretting about the future. And that makes us anxious.

Stressful Thinking
Stress is the “wear and tear” our bodies experience as we adjust to our continually
changing environment; it has physical and emotional effects on us and can create positive
or negative feelings. As a positive influence, stress can help compel us to action; it can
result in a new awareness and an exciting new perspective. As a negative influence, it can
result in feelings of distrust, rejection, anger and depression, which in turn can lead to
health problems, heart disease, and stroke. With the death of a loved one, the birth of a
child, a job promotion, or a new relation, we experience stress as we adjust our lives to
these changes.
Why do different people react differently to the same stress situation? Why do similar life
events evoke such varying reactions as depression, anxiety, hostility, elation, and even
indifference? The answer points to one of the most powerful and useful notions in stress
management: our experience of stress is influenced by our thoughts and perceptions. In
technical terms, our cognitions influence our reactions to stress.

Whatever you are today is the outcome of your problems, strengths, habits, and level of self-esteem. In every age, from birth to infant and child to adolescent, you have met distinct challenges. If the people around you raised you in a natural and healthy way, you will turn out into a well-balanced and strong individual. However, if your youthful experiences are filled with traumas and problems, these past incidents will extremely affect the way you are today. To understand this topic, you have to understand the concept of the inner child.. Get all the info you need here.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
https://bit.ly/BabeSideDoll4u Babeside is a company that specializes in creating handcrafted reborn dolls. These dolls are designed to be incredibly lifelike, with realistic skin tones and hair, and they have become increasingly popular among collectors and those who use them for therapeutic purposes. At Babeside, we believe that our reborn dolls can provide comfort and healing to anyone who needs it.
The Healing Power of Babeside's Handcrafted Creations
Our reborn dolls are more than just beautiful pieces of art - they can also help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Studies have shown that holding or cuddling a soft object like a stuffed animal or a reborn doll can release oxytocin, which is often referred to as the "love hormone." This hormone helps us feel calm and relaxed, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.
In addition to their physical benefits, reborn dolls can also offer emotional support. For many people, having something to care for and nurture can bring a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Reborn dolls can also serve as a reminder of happy memories or loved ones who have passed away.

Day 39 - Coping with emotions

My learning for the day
Today I want to summarise two TED talks on coping with emotions. The first
talk is about Power of Emotional Courage. The second talk is about
Emotional First-Aid
Talk 1 - The gift and power of emotional courage
Speaker - Susan David, Psychologist, Harvard Medical School
Summary -
How we deal with our inner world drives every aspect of how we love, how
we live, how we parent and how we lead.
What is emotional courage? This crucial question has been at the center of
Susan’s life's work.
You could say that her research work was more of a personal journey of a
teenager how she bottled her emotions after the death of her father.
Susan did not show her grief to anyone. She went about with her usual
smile. She didn't drop a single grade in school. When asked how she was
doing, she would shrug and say, "OK." She was praised for being strong. She
was the master of being OK.
Behind this facade of being OK and looking positive, she started to use food
to numb her pain, refusing to accept the full weight of her grief.
Susan says, “Being positive has become a new form of moral correctness.
People with cancer are automatically told to just stay positive. Women, to
stop being so angry. And the list goes on. It's a tyranny. It's a tyranny of
positivity. And it's cruel. Unkind. And ineffective.”
Research on emotional suppression shows that when emotions are pushed
aside or ignored, they get stronger. Psychologists call this amplification.
Tough emotions are part of our contract with life. You don't get to have a
meaningful career or raise a family or leave the world a better place without
2
3. 3
stress and discomfort. Discomfort is the price of admission to a
meaningful life.
When we label our emotions accurately, we are more able to recognise the
precise cause of our feelings. That is when the readiness potential in our
brain is activated, allowing us to take concrete steps.
What do these steps look like in practice?
When you feel a strong, tough emotion, don't race for the emotional exits.
Try not to say "I am," as in, "I'm angry" or "I'm sad." When you say "I am" it
makes you sound as if you are the emotion. Whereas you are you, and the
emotion is a data source. Instead, try to notice the feeling for what it is: "I'm
noticing that I'm feeling sad" or "I'm noticing that I'm feeling angry."
Emotional agility is the ability to be with your emotions with curiosity,
compassion, and especially the courage to take values-connected steps.
Talk 2 - Why we all need to practice emotional first aid
Speaker - Guy Winch, Psychologist and Author
Summary -
We'll go to the doctor when we feel flu-ish or a nagging pain. So why don't we
see a health professional when we feel emotional pain?
We sustain psychological injuries even more often than we do physical
ones, injuries like failure or rejection or loneliness.
Loneliness creates a deep psychological wound, one that distorts our
perceptions and scrambles our thinking. It makes us believe that those
around us care much less than they actually do. Loneliness causes high
blood pressure, high cholesterol. It even suppresses the functioning of your
immune system.
Rejection is equally painful. We all start thinking of all our faults and all our
shortcomings, what we wish we were, what we wish we weren't, we call
ourselves names as soon as we get a feeling of rejection.
Failure does that as well. If your mind tries to convince you you're incapable
of something, and you believe it, you'll begin to feel helpless and you'll stop
3
4. 4
trying too soon, or you won't even try at all. And then you'll be even more
convinced you can't succeed. That's why so many people function below
their actual potential.
One of the unhealthiest and most common is called rumination. To
ruminate means to chew over. Ruminating about upsetting events can easily
become a habit.
Studies tell us that even a two-minute distraction is sufficient to break the
urge to ruminate.
In essence, we need to acknowledge that loneliness, rejection and failures
WILL come in our lives. We need to keep our first aid bands ready when
they do. What are your first aid bands?
I found a great first aid band from Nataliia Totka. This is her first-aid-band to
fight loneliness - “I read, I exercise, go out for a walk, go out for tea/coffee, go for
a run to clear my head. When you get excited about your life and being able to do
all those new things, you won’t feel lonely.” I guess the same first aid could be
applied for rejection and failure too.
What is Coping with emotions?
Emotions are biological states brought on by thoughts, feelings, behavioural
responses, and a degree of pleasure or displeasure.
The basic emotions are
1. joy/ sadness,
2. acceptance/ disgust,
3. fear/ anger,
4. surprise/ anticipation.
The word "emotion" dates back to 1579, when it was adapted from the French word
émouvoir, which means "to stir up". Emotions create responses in the brain called
feelings.
Coping with emotions is -
a. understanding the patterns of emotions,
4
5. 5
b. understanding our responses to emotions and
c. taking corrective and preventive actions

Purpose of this document
I took a 66 day challenge to study Life Skills last year (10 April 2019). To my
astonishment, I succeeded in studying for 66 days one skill a day.
My objectives of learning these skills were - To strengthen my mind to face life’s
challenges with ease, To use these skills in my worklife for a better performance, To
use these skills in my personal life for enriching my relationships, To open new
possibilities to surprise myself.
This is my next 66 day challenge (from 10 April 2020) - To share my Life Skills
learning with my social media friends.
I pray that my toil helps you in your success journey.
What are Life Skills?
UNICEF defines Life skills as - psychosocial abilities for adaptive and positive
behaviour that enable individuals to deal effectively with the demands and
challenges of everyday life. They are loosely grouped into three broad categories
of skills
- cognitive skills for analyzing and using information,
- personal skills for developing personal agency and managing oneself,
- inter-personal skills for communicating and interacting effectively with others.
Which LifeSkills are covered?
The World Health Organisation identified these basic areas of life skills that are
relevant across cultures:
1. Decision-making
2. Problem-solving
3. Creative thinking
4. Critical thinking
5. Communication
6
7. 7
6. Interpersonal skills
7. Self-awareness
8. Empathy
9. Coping with emotions
10. Coping with stress.
Some trivia
‘Life skills’ was never part of the school curriculum. WHO/ UNESCO mandated
academia to teach these skills in all schools across the globe in 1993.
Different countries educate their children in these skills with different objectives
- Zimbabwe and Thailand - prevention of HIV/AIDS
- Mexico - prevention of adolescent pregnancy
- United Kingdom - child abuse prevention
- USA - prevention of substance abuse and violence
- South Africa and Colombia - positive socialization of children.
