One of the most important aspects of being human is the fact that we have feelings -- all day long. And yet, rarely are we taught healthy ways to cope with them. Who among us learned about coping with emotions in school?
EQRocks's insight: Great article, please read... We basically have three options once we identify that we are having a feeling:1. We can implode (i.e., stuff it down, avoid it or pretend it's not there).2. We can explode (i.e., blast it out disrespectfully or destructively).3. We can express it safely and appropriately.

If you could stand in someone else's shoes... Hear what they hear. See what they see. Feel what they feel. Would you treat them differently? A video that speaks to the connections we all need.
EQRocks's insight: "In the end, it's about human connection. When we relate to those around us by understanding their back stories and their circumstances, we improve the way we work, the way we live, the way we take care of one another, the way we relate going forward and, as Martin Luther King Jr. would say, building the "beloved community" that edifies us all!"
