We dropped more money than I'd like to admit on plants all over the house. I live, I live this stuff. So that's imposing things around you. You can also take things away from your environment that may be pushing you in the wrong direction. And I'll give you two examples. They are very concrete. Oftentimes when we're overcome with emotion, You don't feel like you're in control.

Oftentimes when we're overcome with emotion, You don't feel like you're in control.

It goes back to what we were talking about before. We don't like that feeling because human beings, we like to be in control. One way you can regain a sense of control is by creating order around you. That leads to what we call compensatory control. You're putting things away. You're organizing, cleaning up.

That gives you a sense of order and control outside in the world that you're lacking inside here. Simple thing you could do. This is why people often clean and organize when they're stressed out. They don't know why they do it, but they have this reflexive urge to do so. Has that ever been true for you? Yes. Okay, so compensatory control. The other thing you could do, and this may be controversial,

But I stand by it. If there are triggers that are challenging you and undermining your ability to meet your emotion management goals, get rid of those triggers. And so for me, this is where pizza doggy bags come into play. So I have a love affair with pizza. It's my childhood food. I grew up in New York. I love New York City classic slice of pizza. If I see pizza, I will eat it.

And it doesn't matter what time of day it is. And I will eat it in the wee hours of the morning or late night when I shouldn't be eating that food. So why am I talking about pizza? If we have people over for a football watching party, I'll order the pizza. I will indulge in it. I will over-order because I always like to know there's enough food for everyone there.

When the party is over, I will insist that people take the pizza with them. If there is leftover pizza, I will throw it out because I know that if it is in the refrigerator and I see it, I will go for it.

That is correct. And so I'm proactively here structuring my environment to help me meet my goals.
