We admire people who are efficient and productive. The amount of work, number of projects, and progress they accomplish leave the rest of us in the dust. Being efficient and improving our productivity is a goal for many of us.
There are many ways to improve our efficiency, and one way that might be helpful is to shift our emotional state.
When we hear “no” repeatedly or are caught by surprising life events or conflicts, we are emotionally triggered and knocked off center. Regrouping ourselves is a practice that takes time and energy at the start. Like other skills, the more we practice self-connection, the less time required for the shift to happen down the road.
Mastering emotional regulation skills can drastically improve efficiency and productivity, especially for people who tune in to our emotions.
