I've been working on mastering this skill for years now. If I sense myself getting upset I take a deep breath, say nothing, and think about the situation thoroughly,.

Decision is the ultimate power. Learn to respond not react. This is especially important for entrepreneurs and business leaders.

2:27 What has worked for me is to start pausing before talking even in normal circumstances, so it becomes routine and thus more likely to happen when I am emotionally agitated.

I found that writing does the job of metacognition. It helps you to think about your thinking.
@astro_empowerment
This message is so powerful and important! As a therapist and combat veteran, I've seen firsthand how critical it is to develop the skills of metacognition and emotional regulation. It's not just about reacting to our emotions but understanding them and making conscious decisions about how we respond. This ability to pause, reflect, and manage emotions is something I work on with my clients every day, especially veterans dealing with trauma and PTSD. The techniques shared in this video resonate deeply with the work I do, and it's a reminder that emotional regulation is a skill we can all practice and improve. If anyone's interested, I've been creating content to support veterans and anyone struggling with trauma, PTSD, and related issues on my channel, Empowerment Psychology. Keep up the great work—this is the kind of knowledge that truly helps people lead happier lives!

Metacognition with mindfulness is enormously powerful
@MrJoaodom
This is it, brilliant and explained in a beautiful simple way, like a a good professor, mentor should do. Using pauses when you communicate, especially when you are disagreeing, helps you not to counter attack, instead, helping to get to a common place. Thank you as allways Big Think ❤

I habitually do this. I didn't know it was a technique. I also have a tendency to be introspective. I tend to evaluate my feelings and situations at the end of the day. It helps me navigate life.

When I made a presentation titled ‘Storytelling and Meaningmaking’ for a conference at Stanford University in 2018, I reflected the previous 20 years of neuroscience, which this presenter doesn’t seem to be aware of! The essence of metacognition has been around for thousands of years. It boils down to suppressing our emotions ISO absolute logic. But neuroscientists like VS Ramachandran have made it clear that emotions have an evolutionary purpose. In a nutshell, they help us to feel what’s important in our lives in terms of those around us and our place on the planet. Daniel Kahneman also did a beautiful job of summarizing these ideas in his book Thinking Fast and Slow. This sort of advice has fostered a zero-sum game where the only way to get by is to beat the other person rather than to work with them in a way that could create a win-win solution. I’m startled that the Templeton foundation can’t do better than this! (I do like his socks, though)

Can’t explain my appreciation to your channel and your content ❤ Thank you so much for your effort.
@Mambwe-g2z
Having to explain this sence of understanding in this manner makes it more understandable and a realistic approach, personally this practical habit takes a while to master but I will definitely get there.
@stevenkramer6956
This is amazing so clear
@manikandarajan9387
This is one of the or i would say THE MOST IMPORTANT LIFE SKILL! I had completely ruined my life not doing this and after learning it the hard way my life is more peaceful now! It literally decides the quality of your life! And doing critical thinking in metacognition opens even more doors!
@azharmuhammedu5989
Thanks for sharing such useful knowledge. Please consider doing a longer video explaining more ways to master metacognition.

It's same like "Too much sense can blow your mind"

It's crazy how many people in this comment section do not realize what this is about. Reacting to your negative emotions usually leads to negative outcomes, such as big fights between couples or road rage. He isn't saying that you should become a robot and not have any emotions at all. He says you should analyze your emotions and ensure they don't harm your life and those around you.
