Own your power!

Do you know your power? Do you think you are powerless to control your emotions? Brain scientist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor tells us in her wonderful book My stroke of Insight that the physiological "loop" of an emotion lasts only 90 seconds in our limbic system region of our brain. If we remain angry or miserable longer than that, it is because we are choosing not to use the higher regions of the brains God gave us. Let the 90 seconds run its course, but then make the choice to be happy, to be kind, or compassionate.

Or, stay angry for a while longer if you want, but realize that you are making a conscious choice; no one is making you stay in that emotional loop. Own your choice! Own your power! None of us is at the mercy of our emotions!
