A Practical Guide to Engaging Your Emotions

In this episode, Blake and Jamie share a simple but powerful framework for engaging your emotions: Pause, Pray, Process, Express. Building on last week’s conversation about suicide prevention and the dangers of bottling up emotions, they offer a practical, grace-filled tool to help you slow down, connect with what you’re really feeling, and bring those needs into safe relationships. Through honest stories about marriage, parenting, and friendship, they show how emotional awareness isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress.Learn more about Three Percent:🌐 https://www.threepercentco.com📸 Instagram – @threepercentcoDownload the free Pause, Pray, Process, Express guide on our website.Takeaways

Most men bottle up, blow up, or numb out instead of engaging emotions.
Neural pathways (the “slip and slides”) can be retrained with new practices.
Pause: Slow your nervous system and notice what you’re feeling in your body.
Pray: Invite God into your emotions without bypassing them.
Process: Journal, talk it out, or seek safe co-regulation.
Express: Share your inner world in ways that build connection and, when needed, set boundaries.
Progress, not perfection, is the goal.
