Emotional agility is the ability to be with ourselves in a way that's curious and compassionate, where we notice those difficult thoughts, emotions and stories, but ultimately we are able to navigate them effectively.
Ever feel like your emotions are running the show? In this insightful episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with psychologist Susan David to unpack the concept of emotional agility. Susan, a Harvard Medical School faculty member and author of *Emotional Agility: Get Unstuck, Embrace Change, and Thrive in Work and Life*, brings her expertise to the table, offering practical advice on how to better understand and manage our emotions.
She explains that emotional agility is about approaching our inner experiences with curiosity and compassion, rather than being driven by them on autopilot. Susan shares strategies for recognizing unhelpful habits and creating space around our emotions, treating them as valuable data instead of definitive truths about who we are. The conversation delves into the importance of self-compassion and acceptance, highlighting how resisting reality only leads to more suffering.
By aligning our actions with our core values, we can navigate life's challenges more effectively and live a more intentional and fulfilling life. Tune in to learn how to cultivate emotional agility and start living a life that truly reflects what you value.
