The intensity of our emotions determines how we deal with them.

If the intensity gets too much and we become overwhelmed,

we can use avoidance coping mechanisms like drinking, but avoiding emotions just increases their intensity.

In this episode I'll explain why some of us have more intense emotions than others,

what the window of tolerance is, and how this concept relates to your

drinking, and how your brain interprets things to lead to intense emotions.

Our perception is in our control, so I'll leave you with some mindset shifts on how to

manage your emotions better and reduce overwhelm. And before we dig in, I'd like to say a quick thank you to my sponsors who made this episode possible.

Spinning your wheels with anxiety all day, waking up off and on all night,

it's exhausting and frustrating.

Fortunately, I found my secret weapon against those relentless jitters and restless nights,

Tanasi. Tanasi has been my go-to for putting those jittery moments to rest and reclaiming my peace of mind.

Whether it's the stress of a long work day or anxiety that sneaks up uninvited,

Tannasi's range of products has been a lifesaver.

As a former scientist, I appreciate their commitment to science and research.

They provided a $2.5 million grant to Middle Tennessee State University

to study the hemp plant.

This team of scientists discovered Tannassee's one-of-a-kind patent-pending CBD-CBA formula.

Studies show that it's twice as effective as CBD alone,

and 5% of all revenue is given back to the university to support ongoing research.

So if you're done spiraling like a tornado, then Tanasi has your back with a range of products from soothing tinctures to calming lotions.
