Most of us are 8 year olds walking around in adult bodies. Being emotionally mature is a skill we have to want to learn and that we have to practice.

To recognize our emotions and actually feel them, process them in a calm manner without blaming the external. Frustration actually comes from putting the power to regulate outside of ourselves.

Practicing being radically aware of who is in the driver’s seat of your life at every moment vs slipping into unconscious autopilot is one of the most important exercises you’ll do for yourself and others

In order to process the millions of bits of information were exposed to every day the brain has a system to prioritise and pick out what it deems most important.

It filters everything and how we interpret information is shaped by:

Past experiences - Our experiences shape our beliefs, which influence how we see the world.

Personal biases - Cultural influences, societal norms, and unconscious assumptions shape our beliefs - mostly without us even realising it.

Mindset & emotions - Our emotional state impacts how we react to new information. If you're already stressed, you're more likely to interpret a neutral comment as criticism.

We’re never really getting an
objective view of things.

The reticular activating system (RAS), a network in our brainstem, acts as a filter-deciding what gets our attention & what gets ignored, generally we notice more of what aligns with what we already believe (confirmation bias)
