Survive or Thrive: It’s not what happens to you, it’s how you respond to it.

• I am designed with emotions and am capable of a broad range of feelings. 
• It is important for me to understand what emotions are and how they affect me – be it actions, attitudes, thoughts, or behaviors. 
• When I deny or suppress my feelings, I can cause harm, therefore I should find healthy ways to express what I am feeling. 
• Using my Emotional Intelligence will help me be aware of and manage my emotions well. 
• In times of conflict, I can choose to forgive and make the decision to respond rather react.
