Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress and looking for quick ways to reset? In this episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, I talk with clinical psychologist Dr. Jenny Taitz to discuss practical strategies from her new book "Stress Resets" that can help you manage stress and regulate emotions in just minutes.  We discuss evidence-based techniques like the "3-minute breathing space" and "opposite action" that can interrupt negative thought patterns and help us respond more effectively to stressful situations. We also dive into how to positively impact those around us, as emotional regulation is contagious, and much more.  Dr. Jennifer L.

Hi guys, it's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits and Hustle. Crush it.

0:07.8

We have a really amazing clinical psychologist who wrote a book called Stress Reset.

0:13.2

Her name is Jennifer L. Tates. I don't know why I said the L. Does anyone ever say that?

0:17.9

No one says Alan. Everyone calls me Jenny. So you're welcome to call me Jenny. Okay, I'm going to call you Jenny. I love that.

0:22.5

My dad used to call me Jenny. And we're just talking about the fact that you become blind, where I said that, you become blind in your mid-40s. If you had 20-20 eyesight, and so she just told me that they were eyedrops for that. I had no idea. I saw it in the New York Times a couple years ago. Again, not sure. I have not tried them, but worth looking into.

0:40.7

Totally worth looking into. All right. So I have Dr. Jenny. How about that? Is that okay? Dr. Jenny? There's Dr. Becky now. There's Dr. Jenny, who's on the podcast today talking about her book. Like I said, stress resets. And I think why I gravitated to this is what I

0:56.5

love about this book, it's like a coffee table book. I love the types of books that you don't have

1:00.6

to commit to sitting there and like really having to like read it hours at a time. It's done in a way

1:06.2

that you can turn to any page and just get like a great thing from it. Like the first thing on the first page,

1:12.5

which is not how you have to do it, but I saw about like emotional regulation, which I want to

1:18.5

talk about, I want to start with emotional regulation and how important is to regulate your emotions

1:22.7

because it's like kind of, I feel it's become like a big topic now. And they say if we can figure out a way

1:28.6

to regulate your emotions, it like is one of the best stress reducers in overall, your overall

1:34.1

like longevity. Is that accurate? Yeah, I think emotion regulation is like the key to

1:39.0

getting your goals done professionally, interpersonally, good relationships all hinge on your

1:43.9

ability to manage your emotions. And the thing that people don't realize is this is something that anyone could learn. A lot of people say, my emotions are like a light switch. They're like on or off or they go from zero to a hundred. Yeah. Yeah. And what I truly believe is like anyone could be able to kind of create a dimmer system so they know how to dial down if they need to and when they need to. And this is like very teachable. It doesn't matter how many years you've struggled with this. We all have tools within us. Well, this is what I like to do on the podcast. I like, and then what I was going to even finish and further say is that I like when people get like actionable tools that they can automatically implement, right?

2:18.9

And so your whole book, I feel like really gives the ownership and the onus on the person

2:24.0

and gives the person a tool or tools where they can in real time try to fix whatever stressor

2:32.2

they're having. And if you can kind of break down or some

2:35.8

easy tricks or ways, people can start to try and regulate their emotions because I feel like

2:43.4

that's really like you're saying is where it begins and ends. If we can really figure out a way

2:47.1

to kind of hone that, it will help in every way. Totally, totally. And just getting back to
