Pause: Mount Sinai Surgery

Expand Your Window of Tolerance

August 09, 2024 • Jane Lodato, Mount Sinai Surgery • Season 2 • Episode 6

We often have a very narrow "window of tolerance" for emotions that are strong, including anger, fear, overwhelm. When we cannot tolerate these feelings we may say or do something that in hindsight we wish we hadn't. This practice will help to expand your window of tolerance when challenging circumstances arise, and in turn reduce the stress that comes as a result of being caught in our own inability to tolerate our feeling.
