YOUR EMOTIONAL SELF: Your Key to a Better
Life
|
Your emotional self operates
at the very core of your life, affecting everything you
think and do!
This is not just some interesting idea; it is borne out by
scientific research that demonstrates that your emotional brain -
your limbic system - operates like a central clearing house.
Everything - your thoughts, beliefs, ideas, plans, fantasies etc.
run through it where they are filtered and 'color' your perceptions
and therefore the reality you perceive, respond to and
participate in creating.
Knowing this, it's easier to see how your emotional life
affects
your feelings about yourself, your relationships, your
parenting of yourself and your children and grandchildren, your
mental health, your ability to understand your own needs and
motivations and those of others as well.
Your emotional life profoundly affects your physical health as
well. The pathways and mechanisms through which this happens were
identified by Candace Pert, PH.D., who demonstrated that each
thought you think has a parallel physical molecule that runs
through your body. This "thought molecule" instructs your
physiology in how to proceed. In other words, your thoughts
ceaselessly produce physical changes!
A major boost was given to this astounding fact by Bruce Lipton,
Ph.D., who demonstrated that both your genes and your DNA not only
can be - but are -manipulated by your beliefs. In other words, your
beliefs are what control your biology whether or not your beliefs
are right!
How is this possible? Because every single one of the 50 to 70
trillion cells in your body is always busy adapting to our
environment - and when you change your emotional environment you
change the environmental signals that elicit the behavior of your
cells. In this way your emotional self is literally in charge of
your cells!
This flies in the face of the current Western medical paradigm
that sees the existence of a physical symptom as a disease -
a stimulus for a bodily war that requires application of external
weapons, usually in the form of prescription drugs.
Shifting your mind-set to take the new, paradigm-shattering
research into account, instead of attacking diseases or
dysfunctions from the outside, you'd work from the inside
-
partnering with your emotional self to shift your internal
environment in the direction of better health and functioning.
Unfortunately few of us are well enough acquainted with our
emotional selves to do this. After all, we've been conditioned from
the beginning of our lives to not only accept, but actually demand
these external weapons.
To understand our emotional selves, how to develop and integrate
them and how we can raise our own emotional intelligence and live a
fuller life, I teach a ten-hour, online course called the Emotional
Development101 that begins as soon as you register!

"What really matters for success, character,
happiness and life long achievements is a definite set of
emotional skills - your EQ - not just purely cognitive
abilities that are measured by conventional IQ tests."

YOUR HEALTH and FITNESS PLAN:
Does It Contain This Essential Ingredient So
Important To Your Success?
|
|
Health and fitness plans have several
components. Include them all and you're in the best
possible position to succeed. Forget one of them, and you
may have set yourself up for failure.
One of these elements stands out as much more vital to your
success than any of the others. In fact, if you want to
carry out your plan successfully and reach your health and
fitness goals, be sure to include this essential
ingredient.
Am I talking about nutrition? An aerobic component? Perhaps
stretching? Resistance training? Or even rest? No, no, no, no
and no!
What is it then? Quite simply, it's the one essential component
that's so crucial, that without it, you're much more likely to
face frustration, even failure.
This is the emotional element. Why is this so vital? Quite
simply, because your emotional state has far more to do with
your success in sticking with your health and fitness plan than
any other factor!
TEN WIERD
SYMPTOMS -
ONE
ROOT
CAUSE
Here are ten different bodily symptoms that can
pester and worry you and make you suffer. You'd never think
they might all be connected to one root cause, but indeed they
can.
See if you can guess their common root (no peeking!)
Here they are:
1. Rash that itches like poison oak or poison ivy.
2. Difficulty urinating - having to push to empty bladder or
bladder leaking.
3. Back problems - can make muscles not work right so if you
bend or twist some muscles will not cooperate and can even pull
your vertebrae out of alignment.
4. Short term memory problems - brain fog, Can't remember the
intention you had even one moment ago.
"The killers stress and depression invade from the
world of thought and emotion into the
immune system, where they weaken the body's
resistance."
Paul Pearsal, Psychoneuroimmunologist
