"DON'T' LET YOUR EMOTIONS CRIPPLE YOU."

There are emotions that serve us (appropriate) and emotions that do not serve us (inappropriate). Appropriate emotions serve our instinct for survival and living a happy life. These emotions include gratitude, joy, appreciation, speaking truthfully and kindly. on the other hand, inappropriate emotions debilitate us through anxiety, fear, the idea that we are undeserving, mental and physical illness.

By nature we tend to react to a situation that challenges us. It may be a relationship, it may be a job, it may be our own feelings of helplessness or a combination of all. Once we understand that although we cannot control all the circumstances that come to us, we do have power to choose how we respond. We are then on the path to empowerment.

What is the secret to this empowerment? Discipline. Not a popular word because it implies hard work.

Of course behind discipline lies the power of intention. If we don't have the intention to change how we respond to our thoughts and feelings then nothing will change. We have to intend it, be committed to it and then be disciplined in the practice of it. Intention, Commitment, Discipline. The only thing that makes us powerless is the idea that we do not have a choice. We always have a choice. When we start making conscious choices with intent, commitment and discipline, our lives change. We blossom.

The Balanced Life course teaches practical and proven techniques to have a happy and fulfilling life.

Don't waste a minute!
