Module 4: Emotional Balance and Spiritual Connections
Emotional Balance +
We can think of compassion fatigue as a heavy weight that throws our life out of balance. Let’s look at a video in which Dr. Iva Greywolf talks to us about the importance of balance in our personal and work lives, and the ABCs of maintaining it.
The ABCs of Balancing Emotions
Iva GreyWolf, Ph.D., MAC. Ft. Peck Assiniboine Tribe
In this course we are learning many ways to regain our balance (examples: positive self talk, mindful practices, breathing, healthy eating, regular exercise, maintaining supportive relationships, and spiritual connections). Dr. Greywolf references these strategies as the ABC’s of balance:
A - Awareness.
B - Balance between mind-body-spirit.
C - Connections and social support system.
“Our emotions are the internal messengers,
that let you know that something is out of balance.”
- Dr. Iva Greywolf
