Your Emotions with Jay Fields","description":"Wendy talks with Jay Fields, an educator, coach, and author who has taught the principles of embodied social and emotional intelligence to individuals and organizations for twenty years.   If you\u2019ve ever wondered how to get better at sitting with your emotions, instead of drinking, eating, or scrolling to escape them, Jay\u2019s got the practical three-step solution.   Wendy and Jay discuss the importance of feeling your emotions instead of \u201cfixing\u201d them, and how learning to do this using Jay\u2019s approach allows us to respond instead of react, which in turn leads to deeper, more meaningful connections and personal relationships.   Topics include how people-pleasing arises from a common childhood blueprint (\u201cnever make anyone else feel uncomfortable\u201d); how trying to \u201cfix\u201d an emotion instead feeling and accepting it can lead to overwhelm and burnout; the power of the words \u201cof course\u201d when it comes to regulating your nervous system and connecting with yourself; how felt sense increases empathy, compassion and intuition, and how \u201csolving\u201d emotions causes us to abandon ourselves.   More about Jay at: https:\/\/jay-fields.com\/yours-truly ","author_name":"Bite-Sized Balance Podcast with Wendy McCallum","author_url":"http:\/\/www.wendymccallum.com","html":"
