How to reset your emotions when you’re overwhelmed and stressed

Need an instant emotional reset so you can get back on track?

You know when you’re feeling crappy and you know your emotions aren’t working for you but you just can’t seem to shake it? It’s time for a reset.

In this video, I’m sharing a really helpful exercise you can use to give yourself an instant emotional reset.

Through this process, you’ll get to the core of what you’re feeling so that you can reset those emotions and be more in alignment with your goal. 

It is so so so powerful at changing your thoughts and your emotions in the moment when you’re being driven by feelings that come up that are totally derailing you and distracting you.

Grab a journal and get ready to dive in!


This is something that’s been coming up for me lately. So it seemed like a great time to share it with you and even walk you through an example of my own.

Throughout the exercise, try to really be in touch with your body.  Your physical sensations often clue you in to what’s happening with your emotions.

It’s sort of like talking to your brain to get your brain to dissect the answers in a way that it’s used to. Sometimes, when we’re in it, experiencing the feelings, it’s very hard for us to separate ourselves to see what’s actually going on. That is the goal here.  

Find a quiet space and respond to the following prompts in your journal or notebook:

  1. What is the primary emotion I’m feeling? 
  2. Why am I feeling this way?
  3. Pull out the loudest reason – the one that evokes the strongest feeling.  What is this thought?

You’ll repeat this process until you feel an emotional shift. 

You might not end up feeling fantastic, but you might at least get to neutral or a little bit less crappy. That means that it’s working. 

Come back and do this over and over until you get to neutral or until you get to where you want to be emotionally to work from for your goals. 

I walk you through the process with more detail and examples in the video.
