How to regulate your emotions and find meaning in life & work

Published on: 17th August, 2023

I'm in conversation with Adam Morgan, a clinical psychologist. Our focus is to share our mutual knowledge and skills about how to regulate emotions and why combined with how to find meaning.

Emotions and meaning are deeply connected which is why we are covering both subjects.

Key themes & learnings

Anxiety has an important role to play (it's not necessarily bad) - we need to understand when it's appropriate and when to regulate emotions.

Stress can be good for us - it can help us grow but distress is a problem so we need to distinguish between these types of stress.

Anxiety can alert us to look closer at our internal world and/or external world and make changes as appropriate.

Meaning - finding what we are competent at and what brings us joy. Do what you love.

Connectedness - with nature and people we care about.

Importance - everything will pass which is vital to remember

Adam has a not for profit organisation where you can access their BrainGym - a set of tools and processes go help you regulate emotions.

Real Life Psychology has plenty of resources you can access for free.

Sal Jefferies

I’m Sal - Human Performance Coach, Educator and Founder.

Everything I coach and teach is what I practice in my life. Mindset work including psychological and emotional development. And for my physical health, I do strength training, fitness and breathing practices. In all areas, I'm constantly learning and always growing.

At mid-life, I'm curious to how we can shape the second half of our life whilst using the latest science and learning's from psychology, emotional regulation and physical health. Over the last 25 years, I have immersed myself in many Eastern influences from philosophy, yoga and meditation. I find in our current world, there's much to learn by combining the latest science with ancient wisdom.

For me, working on the mind is paramount. Also, remaining fit, healthy and curious helps me increase performance, find fulfilment and create peace of mind. I believe this is important both a personal and professional life.

My professional endeavours, which inform my work, include:
Human Performance Coaching (for Founders), Contemporary Psychotherapist, Yoga Teacher, Strength & Conditioning Trainer and Breathwork Trainer. Before this latest chapter of my life, I've been a Photographer, Advertising Exec & Dancer.

When I'm not working, educating or learning, I'll be out with my dogs by the sea in Brighton, UK.
