Have you ever felt like your emotions were an unruly pet, tugging you along on an unpredictable journey? This week on Monday State of Mind, I, Michael Maassel, unpack the eye-opening analogy that will revolutionize your emotional agility. We're not just talking about any old self-help rhetoric; we are taking a deep and heartfelt look into managing emotions with finesse, whether you're riding the high of joy or navigating the trenches of grief.

During an enlightening conversation at a peer recovery coach conference, I stumbled upon a gem I'm eager to share: imagine your emotions as a dog you're walking. Throughout this episode, I'll guide you on how to keep your 'emotional dog' trotting faithfully by your side, ensuring you're steering your feelings rather than being led by them. I'll also peel back the layers on a second tool that's all about enhancing communication. So, join us in this soulful exploration and walk away with the knowledge to not just understand your feelings, but to lead them towards a harmonious life.
