@arthurcbrooks: Most of our worst decisions come from letting the limbic system drive us. The fix is metacognition. The moment you name the emotion we feel, we shift it into the prefrontal cortex. This puts us back in charge.

Metacognition is innate. Applied metacognition is what you’re referring too. If humans didn’t naturally have this ability we wouldn’t exist

I've tried all the techniques you've mentioned and the only one that works is prayer or just talking to myself out loud about it

You don't "manage" your emotions, You FEEL them so they can move on.

Most people don’t know this, but he quoted the Bible. Philippians 4:6-7 one of the greatest passages in the Bible. “Peace of God that surpasses all understanding”

This is important to protect your executive functioning. Emotional regulation and executive functioning are both run by the pre-frontal cortex and if your hurting (from whatever) all the time your not going to be able to run your life...

and scientists don't believe in meditation and a lot of other eastern healing mechanisms, leading the public to do the same.

I’ll tell you right now. Because I think everyone should benefit. ANTICIPATE WHAT TO EXPECT, that moment where you can choose how to re-act. Be aware of habits, constantly alert to not assume. Aware of self.

Oh wow this explains so much! My poetry framework is literally built around this: noticing the emotion, naming it, then reflecting on it through writing. Metacognition in action 🔥🖤🌱
