What is an Emotional Spin?

Blog, Living in Joy

I was in an emotional spin the other day. We are going through a season of change and spins tend to happen. (my oldest is moving away 😭🥳😭🥳)

Emotional spins are like storms: they might be mild or torrential.

A mild storm might be brewing just under the surface. At that point, emotions can be fleeting and might not even be noticed.

Or the storm might be so intense I am consumed by the emotion. I cannot think of anything else and I am reacting out of pure emotion.

There was a time when an emotional spin would take me by surprise. I wouldn’t even realize I was spinning until I was beyond irritable and taking it out on my family. That’s not always the best time to think rationally and work through things.
Over the last few months, I have learned tools that help me recognize a spin long before I am reacting.

What a Blessing!!

Now I can see what is happening when the spin is in “low-grade” storm stage and I can address it then instead of waiting until it’s a full-fledged emotional storm.

So the other day when I was spinning I saw it. and knew what to do. ❤

I am almost done with my Joyful Heart Mentoring Certification (one class left).

I am so excited to be able to teach my own classes and share these tools with other moms.
