How I Practiced Emotional Regulation This Year

Daily writing prompt
What is one way you have grown this year?

One way I have grown this year shows itself in my ability to emotionally regulate.

An example would be when Michael has perhaps made a decision on impulse, acted on it, surprised me with it, and I do not exactly agree with or like it.

I can remain calm.

I can speak my truth clearly.

With gentleness.

Laughter generally helps, too.

I’m not always able to do this.

But, my ability to emotionally regulate, along with a generous mix of humour, happens more now than not.
