Every day, we have to handle our feelings while trying to do the things that we feel are most important to us. I call this being emotional driven or value driven- and it actually matters which way we decide to go. Do we prioritize values or emotions? This choice is something few of us are even aware that we can make. Because emotions come quickly and often, we will do anything to avoid the painful ones, maybe even at the expense of what matters most to us. Ultimately, "The Choice" challenges us to explore whether we want to live a life dictated by avoiding painful emotions or one anchored in enduring values. In today’s episode, we look at how to navigate this choice and emerge confident in our ability to effectively manage our emotions and show up the way that serves us best.
