Happy Wednesday Collective Shelfers 🌞
This week I wanted to introduce the “NASA” concept which comes up in Emotional Agility.
N – name emotion
A – accept it
S – step out of it
A – act according to your values
Having a step-by-step process laid out, for me, seems like a useful way to understand your emotions. It’s not daunting or overcomplicated, but breaks things down in a way that seems almost common sense… So why don’t we do it? 😅
Personally, I think as humans we often miss out on the first step of naming our emotions, and without recognising the way we are feeling it can be hard to move forwards with any of the other steps.
What’s your thoughts on Susan David’s NASA concept? Fiona Chorlton-Voong Jade Phillips Ella Bernie JaRoy Buffong Nika Talbot @donaboussy Caoimhe Kelly Pete Domican

I think the first step is fundamental in how we deal with our emotions. Sometimes it’s easier to ignore emotions than name them- in the short term at least! Having these steps laid out definitely make the process seem more managable.

Often it’s easy to mis-name the real emotion early on. To avoid this is ’Bob’ or ’Shelia’ acceptable as a stop-gap?

I like it as a model. Doing it is harder in practice. Really enjoying the book. Glad we’ve a bit more time to think about it.
-
Completely agree with you there Pete!
-
So great to hear you’re enjoying it, Pete! I agree too with the doing it is harder but I’ve also found that remembering that it still ”counts” as a reflective process even if it’s not in the moment.

I actually think the first step, which people often overlook is recognising there may be a shift in emotions. Quite often we go into autopilot mode when under stress and we fail to recognise that perhaps there needs a reflection period. Then absolutely – move on to this NASA framework.
-
I’ve definitely experienced this – taking that moment to understand what’s driving my response is something I’ve been trying to get better at rather than being hit with the realisation after the fact. Degrees of success have varied but hey, work in progress!
-
I love that practice element of it as you’ve described – at least there is iteration and degrees of success that will create improvement in the longer term.

Shoe Dog! I have that one on my bookshelf and I’ve been meaning to read it. Would love to talk about it with the community 🙂
