Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Did you know that the average emotion only lasts within 60 to 90 seconds in your body?

This is proven that research is very, very clear on this. There is a physiological

response that can pass quickly like a wave unless we attach stories and thoughts and beliefs

and spirals to it. So think about it. You might have a wave of anger, or a little spike of frustration, or even a burst of sadness.

But these don't stretch out, these don't fill your day until you start attaching more and more like thoughts and stories to that emotion. If emotions are waves, we can write them.

They're temporary and quick. They pass. They're replaced quickly. But our minds make them mental

storms. We turn it into a storm when we experience an emotion that feels heavy and we just

keep leaning in.

So, for example, if I feel angry in any situation, maybe an airport, maybe at work,

maybe with someone in my life having a conversation, if I can sit still and allow that to pass,

I am far more likely going to be happy with my behavior at the end of that

very day. Emotions are not reliable, my friend. Think about it. When you look back in your own life,

perhaps when you are angry, did you make good decisions? Did you say things that you mean?

Did you take action that you are proud of?

I love remembering and coming back to this truth that any emotion, it can be ridden and it passes.

It doesn't have to stay.

If it stays, if it lives on repeat, that is up to us.

That means that we are choosing thoughts and

belief that continue to support it. What if we distract ourselves? What if we flip the script?

What if we simply don't buy into it? You know, it's interesting, in Pilates, where I go pretty

often, they want you to make the transitions on the reformer
