7 things emotionally stable people don't do

Welcome to the third edition of From Potential to Value newsletter. This time, I would like to focus on the importance of cultivating emotional stability.

As we navigate the ups and downs of daily life, it's important to develop the skills and tools to manage our emotions in a healthy and productive manner.

That is why, I would like to explore seven things that emotionally stable people don't do and provide practical recommendations to help you cultivate emotional stability in your life. Let's dive in!

What are the 7 things emotionally stable people don't do?

Emotional stability is a valuable trait that can help individuals to navigate life's highs and lows with grace and resilience.

People who are emotionally stable are able to manage their emotions in a healthy way, which can lead to greater happiness, better relationships, and a more fulfilling life.

Based on my experience as a life coach, here are seven things emotionally stable people don't do:

1.They don't let their emotions control them

Emotionally stable people don't let their feelings take over their actions or behaviors. They understand that emotions are fleeting and can be managed with the right tools and strategies.

Instead of reacting impulsively, they take a step back to assess the situation and respond in a calm and rational manner.

Research suggests that emotional responses are often automatic and occur within milliseconds, while cognitive processing (which involves the rational brain) takes longer.

Practice this: To develop this skill, practice mindfulness and meditation to develop emotional awareness and control. Also, make sure that you take a few deep breaths before reacting to a situation. It will help you stay calm and think clearly. Find out more in this video.

2. They don't dwell on the past

Emotionally stable people don't hold onto grudges or dwell on past mistakes. They understand that dwelling on the past can prevent them from moving forward and achieving their goals.

They learn from their mistakes and use that knowledge to make better choices in the future.

Remember that focusing on the past can take up a lot of mental and emotional energy. This energy could be better spent focusing on the present moment and working towards a positive future.

Practice this: To focus on the present and future, set goals and work towards them step by step. Break down larger goals into smaller, achievable tasks. Find out more in this video.

3. They don't engage in negative self-talk

Emotionally stable people don't engage in negative self-talk or harsh self-criticism. They recognize their strengths and weaknesses and strive to improve themselves without being overly critical or judgmental.

They practice self-compassion and treat themselves with kindness and understanding.

Remember that practicing self-compassion takes practice and patience. It's important to be gentle with yourself and to recognize that it's okay to make mistakes.

Practice this: To develop positive self-talk, first identify negative self-talk, and then reframe it. For example, if you catch yourself thinking "I'm not good enough" reframe it into "I am capable and worthy of success". Find out more in this video.

4. They don't seek validation from others

Emotionally stable people don't rely on external validation or approval to feel good about themselves. They have a strong sense of self-worth and are confident in their own abilities and decisions.

They seek feedback and input from others, but ultimately make their own choices based on their own values and priorities.

Remember that in switching from external to internal validation it is important to be gentle with yourself and to celebrate small victories along the way. In time, you can learn to value and trust yourself, rather than relying on others for validation.

Practice this: To build a positive self-image and confidence, trust your own judgment and values. Find out more in this video.

5. They don't hold grudges

Emotionally stable people don't hold onto grudges or carry a negative attitude towards others. They understand that forgiveness is a powerful tool for personal growth and healing.

They work to let go of past hurts and resentments, and focus on building positive relationships and connections with others.

Remember the saying: "we only see in others what we see in ourselves". It suggests that our perceptions of others are often shaped by our own experiences and perspectives.

Practice this: To practice forgiveness and let go of past resentments, communicate openly and honestly with others to resolve conflicts. Find out more in this video.

6. They don't ignore their physical health

Emotionally stable people don't neglect their physical health. They recognize the importance of regular exercise, healthy eating, and adequate rest for their overall well-being.

They prioritize their physical health and make self-care a part of their daily routine.

Remember that, on the other hand, people who have experienced trauma may struggle to take care of their physical health as sometimes, trauma can cause feelings of disconnection from the body, making it hard for that individual to tune in to physical sensations or prioritize self-care.

7. They don't let fear hold them back

Emotionally stable people don't let fear or anxiety hold them back from pursuing their goals and dreams. They understand that fear is a natural response to change and uncertainty, but they don't let it paralyze them.

They take calculated risks and step outside of their comfort zone to grow and achieve their aspirations.

Remember that facing our fears can be overwhelming, so it's important to take small steps towards overcoming them. Start by taking small risks and gradually working your way up to bigger challenges.

Practice this: To face your fears and take calculated risks, seek support from friends, family, or a therapist if needed. Find out more on how to face your fears in this video.

In cultivating emotional stability be patient with yourself and celebrate the big and small victories along the way. Have confidence in your own abilities! You are equipped to navigate the complexities of life and create a meaningful existence.
