Name It to Tame It | How Naming Emotions Builds

Описание: Welcome to Feel. Think. Lead. – Leading from Within, a series that brings emotional intelligence to life — one skill at a time.
In this episode, we explore a science-backed practice known as “Name It to Tame It” — the simple act of labeling your emotions to regulate them more effectively.
When we’re caught in stress, anger, or overwhelm, our brain can hijack our ability to think clearly. But naming what we feel — out loud or in writing — activates the prefrontal cortex and helps us regain calm, clarity, and control.
🧠 Why it works:
Research in neuroscience and emotional intelligence shows that affect labeling (naming emotions) lowers the intensity of emotional reactions and increases self-regulation.
💬 How to try it:
Pause and ask: What am I feeling right now?
Choose a word that matches the emotion (sad, frustrated, anxious, curious, etc.)
Say it or write it: “I feel __.”
Take a breath. Notice the shift.
It’s a small step with a big impact.
✨ Use this practice when you…
Feel overwhelmed or reactive
Enter emotionally charged conversations
Need to calm your nervous system
Want to understand your triggers better
Self-awareness starts with language. And language gives you power over your inner experience.
