To be human is to feel

As logical beings, sometimes we use the head in every transaction. However, to be human is to feel. We need to involve both head and body in our decision making.

Before you take action, ask yourself why you want to take that particular action. At work adhere to and follow frameworks and policies.

We can have similar frameworks in everyday life and relationships. This helps us approach our relationships "professionally!"

Assess yourself before....How do I feel about this situation?

What feelings do I have about this situation in my body?

What are my thoughts?

Why am I feeling and thinking this way?

What do I need to do now?

If upset, you need to soothe and ground yourself before taking action.

Consider what your parent or even a partner might say and do for you if and when you are trying to resolve a situation.

Hug yourself and soothe yourself like a child. Give your self reassurances even when not upset.

Am I acting in my best interest?

Dichotomy of control- What is within my control and outside my control?

Where did I learn this perspective?

What other perspective is out there?

Would you take this action if you sought advice from an expert?

What would someone who knows more about this topic say?

What would a loving parent say to you about this topic?

What do you need to do in the short term?

What do you need to plan long term?

Assess yourself after. How do I feel now?

Journal to monitor your plans.
