0:00A lot of people think emotion regulation is getting rid of a feeling.
0:03It's not what it is.
0:04It's just having another relationship to it.
0:07I've had anxiety or lived with it for a lot of my life, but sometimes I just say hello to it.
0:13It's like, hey, how you doing today?
0:15And it goes away pretty quickly.
0:17Or it just sits there.
0:19I think that's the other thing about emotion regulation that people kind of misunderstand.
0:22They think it's like, I got to check in with how I'm feeling all day long and then regulate.
0:25Check in, regulate.
0:26Like you'd become psychotic if you did that all day long.
0:29Most of the time, our emotions are in the background.
0:32You know, like if you thought about your feelings all day long, you wouldn't be able to do this podcast.
0:36Like that's unproductive.
0:38Emotions matter when there's a shift in our environment or the relationships, you know, if you said something that offended me, boom, I'm activated.
0:47I'm feeling angry or kind of shocked.
0:49Then I have to make a choice in that moment.
0:51Like, how do I manage it?
0:52That's where the magic happens.
0:54Welcome to the Huberman Lab Podcast, where we discuss science and science-based tools for everyday life.
