Feelings are the Bomb!

I'm gonna make a Bold statement here...

are you ready...

Our Feelings & Emotions
are THE most important thing
in our Entire Lives!

“Feelings provide us with vital and potentially profitable information every minute of the day. This feedback from the heart, and not the head, is what ignites creative genius, keeps you honest with yourself, shapes trusting relationships, provides an inner compass for your life and career, guides you to unexpected possibilities, and may even save you or your organization from disaster.”

- Robert Cooper

I hereby submit to you the following claim:
---------------------------------------------------

The art of "dealing with" our feelings is THE #1 most important skill we can possibly learn.

---------------------------------------------------

The good news is that there's not much to it. It's pretty simple, tho' definitely not easy.

The 3 Steps to Dealing with Feelings

1. Know what we Feel - be able to identify what it is we're feeling (angry, sad, scared, depressed)

2. Accept our own Feelings - they're natural, they're real, and they are the essence of who we ARE!

3. Express our Feelings in Ways that Work, for us and others- yes, we can express ourselves fully, and completely, and also uniquely. We can be different. We can allow ourselves to Shine.

And we don't stuff 'em! In fact, we are BIG and Bold with our feelings (which takes Bravery and Courage), but please, let's find productive, effective, respectful ways to express ourselves… ways that respect us, and others, alike.

Hint:
#3 is the hardest part.
#1 can be practiced, and mastered, pretty easily,
and #2 can be achieved in an instant.
it's #3 that we gotta work on, our entire lives.
How we choose to express ourselves will affect every minute, of every day, for the rest of our days!

"At the heart of every desire is the desire to feel good. And so, the standard of success in life is not the things or the money, the standard of success is absolutely the amount of joy you feel, period."

- Esther Hicks
