Hello. My name is Dr. Anna Pittman and I
have created the Human Potential Program for Professionals. This
video is about self regulation and in this segment,
what we learn is something called high resolution emotional resiliency
and cognitive resiliency, which means how do we recover
with curiosity from feelings from triggers from stress and even
from thoughts that may include doubt or an inability to
meet challenge. We also look at the idea of
an emotional GPS system. I love this concept.
It's how do we use our feelings as cues and
clues into what's really important and valuable to us.
So for example, if I feel frustrated by something
that's happening, I could project my frustration and say
you're making me feel frustrated or I could realize wow
when this thing is happening, I feel frustrated and
that's taking me away from my center and that means
that I am not in touch with my values and
my needs and my purpose maybe my mission
or my vision. So I used the frustration rather
than getting frustrated with frustration. So we learn how
that works with the bigger emotions like anger, grief,
frustration, sadness, even doubt, um confidence.
We also look at attachment styles, which is
really a big topic that goes a long way with
just a little bit of information about how to deal
with these styles of connecting it is about relationship.
So if I'm in a style that's taking me out
of feeling safe, I can learn what to do
to get back to rest and digest, to feel
safe, to feel trusting and to feel confident once
more. So um self regulation is not about self
control, not about manipulating myself, but it is
about knowing my internal resources and how to use them
in a way that has high resolution. So how
do we use emotions to come into a bigger version
of ourselves? We also look at letting go of
a version. For example if I feel anger,
I immediately I'm going to have aversion and then
I start shutting down or I might start checking out.
So how do I let go of aversions
so I can read the cues that my internal
body is giving me. We look at emotional strategies,
cognitive strategies for confidence rather than reactivity um or
even suppression. And even when is suppression healthy in
the work environment. So all of these
topics are covered in self regulation. It's a big
topic. Um And I invite you to look at
the remaining videos to look at the other domains included
in this program. And as always, thank you for listening.
