Label your emotions
Your emotions affect how you perceive events and how you decide to take action. When you're anxious about something--even something completely unrelated to your current task--you'll likely avoid risks.
Despite the major influence of emotions, most people spend very little time thinking about their feelings. In fact, most adults struggle to name their feelings.
But labeling your feelings is key to making the best decisions. When you understand how you're feeling and how those feelings might cloud your judgment, you can make better choices.
Labeling your emotions can also take the sting out of uncomfortable feelings like sadness, embarrassment, and disappointment. So check in with yourself a few times each day and identify how you're feeling.
