WHY EMOTIONS MATTER
We have been told lies about our emotions:
-
Emotions are bad or that we’re not supposed to express.
-
Emotions are irrational and shouldn’t be trusted.
-
Emotions are something that happens TO us and, therefore, they’re outside of our control.
The fact is that you CAN control your emotional state, including fear and anxiety, and frustration. You can learn how to avoid unwanted ones and purposefully create the ones you want.
In fact, the skill of emotional intelligence is perhaps the most valuable skill you can EVER acquire. By developing your own personal emotional intelligence cues, you are able to understand and regulate your own emotions. And that is the best way to be prepared to develop yourself.
Being able to cope with and prevent high-intensity stress, anxiety and fear unlocks our greatest abilities, frees us to achieve our goals, and is a powerful factor that is often overlooked when comparing those who are successful at achieving their dreams and those who are not.
When we were growing up no one taught us about our emotions and how they work.
We were not taught that WE CAN control emotions such as fear and anxiety by using the power of our own mind to become aware of our thoughts and feelings and so unlock the ability to choose our emotions and direct the purpose of our lives.
No one teaches us that lack of emotional management is what leads to addictions, chaos, anxiety, suffering, stress, and bad choices…. And that if we learn to control our emotions it can open up a whole world of success and achievement.
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE!
That’s why we’ve created this course. We will focus on 3 of the most undesirable emotions—frustration, anxiety, fear—and how you can use emotional awareness and self-control techniques to take back control and improve your personal well being.
We will teach you what your emotions mean, how to recognise them, and how to direct them in a way that allows you to move toward your life goals.
You will learn how you can become the observer of your emotions as they happen, so you can develop clearer, more rational thoughts which in turn give you more control over your life.
