Our emotions can be influenced by those of the people around me.
We have to learn to feel independently from them.
We feel a pull to mimic other's energy: mirror neurons.
Then we want to interact with them, and sometimes the way we interact is not good.
When there are heightened emotions around you, gauge whether that's impacting you.
- Determine the identity you're going to have (Role Model Mindset)
- Stay present in your body, mind and energy (MW /reminds me of Permission Rose)
- Decide an intention. What does it serve you to get involved, and if you do, with what intention?
- Allow yourself to take a break from other people's emotions
