Control Your Emotions

We're exploring so-called emotions in this episode - "so-called" because most emotions are simply and destructively the product of thought.

Yes the automated thoughts that enable us make it through the day are the self-same automated thoughts that make us think that we're angry, fearful, anxious, lonely... you name it, it's all thought-induced.

So, in this episode, we explore action not reaction, considered response not emotional overload, doing what needs to be done, not throwing fuel on the everyday fires of this normal crazy everyday world of ours.

Using a couple of really simply everyday practical examples, this episode explains how the normal mind sets us up for everyday disaster, so everyday that we think that it's OK, that is an acceptable price to pay for making it through the day.

Conversely, I explain why you're here, what everyday life is really all about and, most importantly, how to experience it, how to do the right thing effortlessly and how to enjoy yourself in the process.

All this flows when you... control your emotions.
