Over the last few episodes of The Empowered Principal Podcast, we’ve been delving deeper and deeper into how to use the STEAR Cycle in taking a new approach to decision making. Last week, we discussed how our thoughts trigger our emotions and how these emotions drive the way in which we approach a situation.
By this point, you will have a good idea of how the STEAR Cycle can help you in your work of becoming the best principal you can be, but there’s one last component to share with you.

In the previous episode, we continued with our exploration of how the STEAR Cycle works and took a look at how our thoughts create our emotions. We used the Cycle to understand how different thoughts about the same situation can create different feelings, and talked about how awareness of our thoughts can help us decide how we want to think and, in turn, feel.
