Optimizing Personal Energy

Verbally identifying your emotions as you experience them can immediately reduce their intensity. This technique, known as affect labeling, is a form of implicit emotional regulation. Research shows that putting feelings into words diminishes activity in the amygdala—the brain's alarm center—while activating regions associated with cognitive control. This neurological shift provides a way to manage your emotional state and conserve mental energy, simply by stating how you feel.
