Well, appreciate you and appreciate this conversation. www.ethancross.com and they can get all the information they'd like about Shift, the book, my lab, and lots of other stuff.

Music's a really easy way to shift your emotions in a particular direction. The shifts aren't always long-lasting, but if you need a kick in the butt, so to speak, music can be a pretty neat and tidy mechanism of intervention.

I think we all have something to learn about this topic. I think it's one of the big problems we face as a species. It's something that we struggle with. When I'm talking about not managing our emotions effectively, I'm talking about our emotions getting triggered either too intensely or for too long. And how do you know what that means? We have goals for how we want to live our lives.

And if our goal is to not feel a particular way, and we find that our emotional experiences are lasting outside of that bandwidth, so to speak, too intense or too long, or maybe even too short or too little, those are typically cues that we want to manage or shift those emotions.

so can you give me an example of that sure i have a very important presentation coming up i feel a little bit of anxiety about it which is adaptive because the anxiety that i feel is motivating me to focus on the task at hand to prepare for it to make sure i do a good job but Over time, as the minutes go on and the hours, the anxiety begins to metastasize. It gets bigger.

I start going into worst case scenarios and it lasts longer than is actually useful. That would be a context in which I would want to manage that emotional response. Let me give you one other example in the opposite direction. Something really great happens. My kid has a real success in their life and I hear about it, I experience some happiness, but then the happiness quickly fades.

And maybe I want to savor that emotional experience because it makes me feel good, and I want to feel good more than I'm currently feeling. That would also be a context in which I would want to shift my emotions.

Well, I do a few different things. And I want to preface before I tell you what I do, which I happily will, I want to share with you and everyone who's listening, different tools work for different people in different situations in the same way that... We likely have different exercise routines for maintaining our fitness, and there are multiple routes to becoming physically fit.
