Hack Your Emotions

This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. Pushkin. Negative emotions, feelings like fear, anger, sadness, and overwhelm, are just part of being human, but that doesn't make them any easier to manage. Whether it's the sense of dread we get before a challenging task, or the frustration of dealing with unmet expectations, our big feelings can drain our energy, mess up our performance, and make us feel like crap.

The good news is that we don't have to be at the mercy of our big feelings. Research shows that with the right strategies, we can not only manage tough emotions effectively, effectively, but also use them to our advantage, no matter what life throws our way. So in today's episode of the Happiness Lab's How-to season, we will dive into the science of emotion regulation. And to help us, we have one of my favorite experts on the topic.

Here to teach you how to shift your emotions is my friend, psychologist Ethan Cross. Great to see you guys. Let me put on some background here. No, no, you're good. What do you think?
