Reducing Emotional Reactivity
By practicing mindfulness regularly, you can decrease the intensity of emotional reactivity. When you’re more aware of your feelings, you can catch them early and prevent them from spiraling out of control. This skill helps you stay grounded in moments of stress or emotional upheaval, allowing you to maintain a sense of calm.

Distress Tolerance During Crisis
When emotions feel overwhelming, distress tolerance skills can be a lifeline. These techniques allow you to survive difficult moments without making the situation worse. Skills like the "TIP" (Temperature, Intense exercise, anxiety reduction Paced breathing, and Progressive muscle relaxation) help you manage emotional intensity. Distraction techniques, such as focusing on an object or engaging in a soothing activity, can also bring relief.
