If you notice that your tendency is to focus on what\u2019s going wrong, consciously replace those thoughts with empowering ones. For example: <em data-start=\"572\" data-end=\"612\">What is going well in my relationship?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"616\" data-end=\"872\">\n<p data-start=\"618\" data-end=\"872\"><strong data-start=\"618\" data-end=\"717\">How would it impact your partner or loved one if you were negatively affected by the situation?<\/strong> Instead of letting it influence you, practice mindful listening and work together to find an empowering perspective on the situation that caused stress.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"874\" data-end=\"1236\">\n<p data-start=\"876\" data-end=\"1236\"><strong data-start=\"876\" data-end=\"921\">What are your dominant negative thoughts?<\/strong> As you identify them, ask yourself: How do these thoughts serve me? Do I want them to continue controlling my emotions and creating negativity? What would a trusted mentor advise regarding these thoughts? Write down an empowering response for each negative thought and focus fully on these positive alternatives.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1238\" data-end=\"1411\">By following these steps, you will not only begin to take control of your own emotions but also positively influence the emotional well-being of the people you care about.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How many times have you felt emotionally affected by other people and their emotional state?Especially when we\u2019re talking about your romantic relationship or a close personal connection?This is a reality, as our emotions are contagious.However, if you are susceptible either to the feelings of those close to you or to the situations happening around you, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1468,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1563","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-31"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/minataliaki.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-5-1-1.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/minataliaki.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1563","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/minataliaki.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/minataliaki.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/minataliaki.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/minataliaki.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1563"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/minataliaki.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1563\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1794,"href":"https:\/\/minataliaki.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1563\/revisions\/1794"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/minataliaki.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/minataliaki.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1563"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/minataliaki.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1563"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/minataliaki.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
