The fight for feelings

Whoa Nelly! I got thinking about my last post and decided that before the American Psychological Association, therapists or 'touchy-feely' persons in the world boycott me, I'd best clarify my position on working with people's feelings.
Truth is....I love the feeling world. It may not sound like it from my first post, but I'm very passionate and experience things quite deeply. I have gone from being somewhat held hostage to my feelings... don't we call the "the 20's", or was I just the only neurotic one walking around? I now am able to use emotional mastery as one of my top skills. It's what I love, and so it's become what I'm the most passionate about teaching folks.
After you understand how to be the master of your mind, then you can learn how to use the power of your feelings and intentions to really accelerate things for yourself.
My goal for you is to learn how to manage the debilitating feelings, while maximizing the feelings/thoughts that move you forward.
I'll give you an example. I was working with a client last week who needed to make some calls to get business for her new program. I could hear it in her voice that she was a little resistant as there was FEAR and DOUBT which are the evil twins of business failure. I asked her on a scale of 1 - 10 how much she believed in her product. She scored herself as a 7, but instead of letting her passion drive her conversation, she let her hesitation lead.
What was the solution? I had her amp up that 7 to a 9 and then see what it felt like to make the calls. What did she notice? When she could put herself at a 9, she was bright, vibrant, energetic, and persuasive. Viola! We found the magic bullet that would allow her to 'master her psychology' and shift her state.
So the next time you are feeling funky, allow yourself to remember when you experienced feelings that you wanted. If you have to give a speech, remind yourself of when you were totally conident and comfortable in that situation. Allow yourself to expand that. Hey...you did it once, so you can invoke that experience again.
And finally...remember these words...."What you focus on, expands."
Meaning, allow your focus to be on the successes and on the feelings you'd rather have, and you'll begin to have more of those in your life.
Now there ya go. Have I won back the feelers in the group?
Make it a great day!

Hey Therese...
I applaud you here for three things!
First - for having the courage to take a position and make a statement.
Secondly - for having come back and noted that need for clarity. How many people would have the thought to do so, but been fearful of what their readership would think in the light of "stepping aside" to a modified thought on the subject matter.
And finally - that you have that wonderful ability to help others master their psychology; for being intuitive in your coaching that you sense what the issues are and can take them beyond all their personal junk to reach new professional heights!
Keep up the great work!

I like the concept, "what you focus on expands." That gives a sense of control and empowerment.
Hmmm. then, what should I focus on today?
You're the greatest.
