Listen "#80 - STOP Trying to Control Your Emotions (Do This Instead)"

Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we stop trying to “control” emotions and show you how to step back from them instead. You’ll learn a simple shift that calms anxiety, stress, and frustration without forcing them away. We break down how saying “sadness is on me” (Irish style), recalling 100 hours of silent meditation, and using the science of “emotional distancing” all point to one truth: you are not your emotions. By the end, you’ll see how naming feelings differently gives you more peace, patience, and power in everyday life.⏰ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Why controlling emotions backfires00:47 The Irish way of talking about feelings08:13 Lessons from 100 hours of meditation15:29 How to practice “emotional distancing” daily22:45 Simple call to action to try today🎙️ PODCAST LINKSSpotify: https://urlgeni.us/spotify/fiobrospodcastApple Podcasts: https://urlgeni.us/applepodcast/fiobrospodcast🧘 FREE MEDITATION COURSELearn to meditate in 5 days, 100% free: fiobros.com/meditate📱 FOLLOW US ON IGinstagram.com/fiobros
