“The more we witness our emotional reactions and understand how they work, the easier it is to refrain.”

“Choosing what we think rather than reaction to our emotions. ”

“We practice mastering ourselves in the moment so that we can better open ourselves to being a servant leader and to harness our emotions and choose what to do with our reactions.”

“This is how women self-sabotage and self-destruct. Unless we have constant witnesses to our hard work, we are convinced we pull off every day of our lives through smoke and mirrors. (27)”
