Rosenberg Reset - Emotional mastery - 90-second rest - Dr. Joan Rosenberg
1 choice, 8 feelings, 90 seconds.
Step 1 – You make the decision to allow yourself to fully feel your feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations.
Choose awareness, not avoidance, as your approach to life.
Step 2 – In any given situation, you experience and move through whichever of the 8 unpleasant feelings that have surfaced: sadness, shame, helplessness, anger, embarrassment, disappointment, frustration, and vulnerability.
I’ve had a front-row seat to emotional pain for more than four decades and what I’ve found is that avoiding difficult feelings gets in the way of confidence, happiness, authenticity, and success; these 8 feelings are at the center of it all.
Step 3 – You experience and move through these unpleasant feelings by riding one or more 90‑second waves of bodily sensations. These bodily sensations help you access and begin to understand what you are feeling emotionally; feelings are generally known at a physical level before you are consciously aware of them.
