Hey everyone! I'm so excited to share this episode all about rubber band emotions. As the LDS mission coach, I've noticed that emotions play a huge role in our lives, especially for those preparing for, serving, or returning from a mission.
One of the key things I've learned is that trying to avoid or postpone uncomfortable emotions is like trying to hold a rubber band stretched out - it just creates more tension and pressure until it snaps back. Instead, I encourage you to lean into those emotions, give them a name, and let them move through your body. It may feel uncomfortable at first, but I promise it's so much better than the emotional letdown that can happen when we try to ignore what we're really feeling.
Whether you're a future missionary, a current missionary, or a returned missionary, I hope this episode will empower you to embrace the full range of human emotions. Remember, there are no "good" or "bad" emotions - they're just information your brain and body are trying to give you. So let's dive in and learn how to process those rubber band emotions with grace and self-trust. I can't wait to hear your thoughts!
As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.
