When our primitive brain hijacks us, it's hard on our confidence. We can find ourselves reacting in ways that don't feel like "us." It's like, "Where did THAT come from?!"
We're animals. We react. But because we're also imaginative, we can react to fears about the future, beliefs we've picked up, and associations we've made about what has hurt us in the past.
The craving to be free of these kinds of limitations and unhelpful reactions is at the core of the drive to be emotionally self-managed.
When a feeling arises, we want to know how to be with it — even if intense.
Rather than numbing out, running away, or fighting with how we feel, we can bring awareness to the thoughts and body sensations.
Rather than suppressing our feelings or pretending we don't have them, we can accept where we are and how we feel. Our feelings are real.
Rather than stay stuck, we can adapt by exploring choices. This helps us feel a bit more calm and confident.
Knowing we can make a choice and take a small step, we get to move into inspired action.
Following an action, we take a powerful pause and allow our body-mind to discover our next YES.
Emotional freedom as a concept reminds us to self-observe. Am I feeling free right now? Ahhh, I'm not! Then, it's time to tend to my emotional freedom with a dose of compassion and skill.
