Episode 89: Real strength is emotional control

Episode 89: Real strength is emotional control5 aug12 min

Suppressing your emotions does not make you strong. It often means those emotions will eventually surface somewhere else.In this short episode of The Life Dojo Podcast, Michael and Marcus discuss emotional control, journaling and why many men avoid dealing honestly with what they feel.Marcus explains how writing down his thoughts helps him process frustration before it turns into anger, conflict or destructive behaviour. He reflects on how unresolved emotions once caused him to overreact, become easily offended and direct anger at people who were not responsible for what he was carrying. Michael also describes how status symbols, spending and external success can temporarily distract someone from their inner problems without actually resolving them. The central lesson is simple:Emotional control begins with emotional honesty.
