Emotional Agility

Letting Go

6. Talk to yourself in the third person.

‘I am having the thought that …’ or ‘I am having the emotion that …’

and that emotion for what it is

identify that thought for what it is

5. Call it out.

As long as you aren’t using humour to mask genuine pain (bottling), finding something funny about yourself or your circumstance can help you accept and then create distance. 4. Change your point of view. Try to consider your problem from the perspective of someone else

3. Have a laugh.

2. Get contradictory.
