All of us find ourselves experiencing negative emotions - at least from time to time. Those emotions can begin to snowball. And before we know it, the whole day starts to feel kind of crummy.

In those moments, we need to become aware of our emotions and call them out. Once identified as non-permanent feelings, we can choose to engage in a 'pivot action' - an action that simply moves us away from the negativity and into a positive emotion.
