Emotional Mastery (ePub)

Emotional Mastery is a eBook that guides people in their struggle to break free from the negative emotions that are holding them back in life.
You lost your temper. You were up worrying half the night. You couldn't get past what happened last week.
Whatever the case, we've all been there: lost and under the control of feelings we'd rather not have. Logically, you know we're in the wrong place. But how do you take back control from the emotions which are holding you hostage?
It might help to consider each of these emotions as though they are a person. Think Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, except those particular companions were a lot cuter and way more fun than this bunch. These guys are a little more like that clique at your high school. You know the one. The kids who caused mayhem every time they showed up. Let's take a minute to get to know their names.
• Anger
• Fear
• Shame
• Anxiety
• Apathy
• Despair
• Guilt
Whew, tough crowd. But don't be intimidated! First of all, all emotions serve a purpose, as you'll find in the next chapter. Even these. It's when they get out of control when they become trouble, which is what we'll address in the rest of this book. In each chapter, we're going to focus first on the emotion itself and what purpose this particular emotion typically serves. It's at the end of each chapter, though, where you will earn how to break the grip of each emotion in three easy steps.
So, no more prisons. Emotional Mastery is around the corner. Let's dive in!
Let's Get Emotional
You're mad. You're glad. You're sad. You feel a hundred different things in a single day, every single day of your life. Of course, these emotions are never quite so simple as all that, are they?
Being happy can take on many forms. You can be joyful. Jubilant. Accomplished. Content. Elated. Or one of many other words that dig into the nuance of this single emotion. Likewise, anger can become fury, rage, peeved, or miffed, depending on the degree. You don't have to understand any of these nuances to feel them. Emotion happens whether you want them or not.
