They are useful tools in giving or receiving information, helping us correct behavior or take action if needed, and are an essential part of being human, despite the difficulty they can give at times.   Today's podcast is meant to offer short, reasonable strategies that can help redirect those momentary negative emotions that we all experience and cultivate healthier ways of communicating and connecting with others. Show Notes & Resources  Unglued - Lysa Terkheurst - https://bit.ly/3aYiAUt  Feelings & Faith - Brian Borgman - https://bit.ly/3xAawTA  Faithful Feelings - Matthew Elliott - https://amzn.to/3xK5XWP  https://mhanational.org/issues/state-mental-health-america  https://karlamclaren.com/about-karla/ https://www.healthline.com/health/how-to-control-your-emotions--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/marianne-morrison/message
