HIGHLIGHTS
1. **Breath Work and Emotional Regulation:**
Cory and I delve into the benefits of breath work in controlling emotions and the critical need to be aware of one's nervous system state. Cory shares his personal experiences of realizing the need to pause when he becomes snappy and impatient, often during stressful periods like bedtime routines or meeting deadlines.
2. **Radical Acceptance and Managing Expectations:**
We discuss the concept of radical acceptance—embracing reality without resistance. Cory provides compelling examples, such as handling the frustration of his kids getting sick and disrupting plans, and how he's learned to find joy in unexpected moments.
3. **Humor in Parenting:**
Cory emphasizes the significance of humor for dads in parenting, making the process more enjoyable and less daunting. He found that traditional parental literature was often dry, leading him to gear his own writing towards making dads laugh while providing practical advice.
How do you practice radical acceptance in your daily life, particularly when facing unexpected challenges with your kids or other responsibilities? What strategies help you manage those emotions and refocus on the positive moments?
Looking forward to your insights! See you in the episode!
