We’ve all heard of emotional intelligence, but what about emotional fitness?
Emotional are THE most powerful force on earth.
Emotions are what start wars, and also how we end them.
If we can learn how to use our emotions effectively,
We can experience the most extraordinary life that we can dream of.
We’ve all been given the gift to choose, shape, and direct our emotions.
Therefor change the quality of our life in an instant and help others to do the same - we just have to learn how.
If we’re going to live an extraordinary life, we have to learn how to become the master of our emotions.
Did you know the way you feel is based off of the meaning you give things?
Today my therapist reminded me that feelings are not facts, what’s a fact is that I’m feeling.
When something really challenging happens, you can either make it mean we’re being punished or that we did something wrong, and then deal with the emotions attached to those meanings…
Or you can view it as an opportunity.
An opportunity to grow, and to learn.
Which meaning is more likely to lead to the emotions you’d rather experience?
What’s wrong is always available… but so is what’s right.
Which brings me to Emotional Fitness.
Emotional fitness is a state of readiness. It’s different from emotional intelligence, because you have to train yourself. You have to actually apply your emotional intelligence.
Emotional Fitness expands our thoughts, our understandings, our actions, our abilities, the way we interact with people, and the way we experience the world.
Most people have a highway to stress and a dirt road to happiness and joy.
You can change that, because emotion is just a habit.
