Ep 122: F.A.S.T Emotions

Understanding our reactive emotions and what to do about them

Summary

F.A.S.T = Fear/Frustrated, Anger/Anxiety, Stress/Sensations, Tired/Touched out
Fast emotions means they are reactive and feel out of control.
These types of emotions are there for our survival, so that we react quickly.
Often we react quickly to them when we are safe and not in a survival situations.
These emotions are telling us a message like when we’re tired, our body needs rest.
These emotions become a problem in our daily lives when we feel these often.
The solution is not to solve for the F.A.S.T emotion; instead work on the emotions that come after – like guilt, shame.
Work on the slower emotions first and that will open up how to manage the F.A.S.T emotions better.
