Don’t Let Emotions Get in Your Way

Welcome to Episode 17 of the Delay and Pray podcast! Today, Beth is talking about emotions: the truths, the myths, and everything in between. If you want to know how to create the emotions you really want, and how to deal with the emotions that you really don’t want, this is the episode for you.

Beth begins with a review of the Thought Model, and how five simple letters can change your life. She also explains the science behind emotions, and why they can drive us so powerfully if we let them. Referencing St. Thomas Aquinas and Fr. Chad Ripperger, she explains the way our intellects work and how putting emotions through reason results in interior freedom. 

Did you know there are three types of emotions, but only one that Christ and His Blessed Mother utilize? Beth is also debunking three myths about emotions, and explaining why your feelings can resemble a beach ball. Using the example of a time when she spent thousands of dollars on a program that did not meet her expectations, Beth offers practical tips on dealing with your feelings in the moment, and preparing for similar emotional experiences in the future. In short, Beth is giving you back control over your own emotions – a control you might not have realized you could have. You just need to ask yourself this question: “How do I want to feel?”
