Ep 26 – EMOTIONAL MASTERY – 3 STEPS TO REVITALIZE YOUR LIFE - with Carla Rieger

Most people think that it’s the external circumstances of their lives that create how they feel. For example, the traffic, another person, or the news. The truth is, that your feelings are a direct result of your thoughts. It’s impossible to feel unhappy without first having unhappy thoughts. It’s impossible to feel confident without having confident thoughts. 

On top of that, everything you do in your life is because you want to FEEL a certain way. This is a huge realization for many people. If you want financial success, it’s because you want to feel secure, at peace, significant, or free. If you rehearse a speech, it’s because you want to avoid embarrassment, feel proud of yourself, or appreciated by your listeners.   

It’s easy to forget that you CHOOSE to think certain thoughts. Often the thoughts are happening below your conscious awareness. Therefore, it serves to look and see if your thoughts are serving you or not.  

In this episode we will explore how to: 

improve how you feel, by changing the meaning you give to things  shift negative emotions by going through them, rather than avoiding them 
generate the positive feelings that will give you more of the life you want
