Let Your Emotions Be a Source of Wisdom

Wisdom

Wow- I really get that! This is a great channel for the place I have found myself in. Quite possibly the one that noticed I had fallen between the cracks and in that tiny little space sent me that tiny little spark I saw in the periphery

Harmony

I imagine mindfulness practice always like a tool for a human being swimming in a pool with white sharks. Not as a weapon.

Awesome 🔐

I learned that self awareness is important in recognizing how and why you feel the way you do. You get to “decide what’s next.” Consciousness is key to development in this world of mine!

Self awareness

I learned that you shouldn’t shy away from uncomfortable emotions you should stay with them and try to understand where they’re coming from.

When we don’t understand our emotions we feel locked in them

My emotions are a reflection of the current state of my inner world. I can learn to bring balance between my inner and outer worlds by paying attention to my emotions, journaling, meditation, and self awareness or mindfulness. I will be listening to this again because it is excellent.

Great piece introspectively

This piece speaks to my mind in a way that resonates and compliments how I identify with myself.

Emotions be Wisdom

This lady is a freaking genius! She always blows my mind with her meditations. I love them!

A lot of what is taught here is also taught in CTB (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)! CTB is an important part of treatment for depression, anxiety and other conditions. FANTASTIC!!!!!

Emotional roller coaster

It isn’t usually until much later that I stop and listen to what my emotions have been telling me. Often in work situations I ignore these emotions and all it gives me is unhappiness. I need to acknowledge them faster and make changes more quickly. A great reminder!

Regaining Balance

Try this experiment: think back to a time where something unpleasant occurred and feel in your body. Now, think back to a time where something pleasant occurred and feel in your body. What you are feeling in your body are your emotions associated with those experiences. Emotions are a gauge for exposing our inner state. Once we realize this, we can begin to use our emotions as a barometer for accessing how we are in any given moment. In this life coaching wisdom session, Dorothy identifies three ways that can aid us in deconstructing our emotions and thus, help us to regain our balance. The first way is through the practice of meditation. Meditation allows us to create a space of stillness and silence in which we can be present with what is. Because this amazing practice soothes our mind and body, we can get intimate with how we are feeling. The second way is through the practice of journaling. Jotting down how we are feeling gives us an outlet to spill out our emotions. As we write, our thoughts are deconstructed. After we write, we can go back and read what we wrote, which allows us to reflect on our inner world. The third way is through the practice of self awareness or rather mindfulness. In this embodiment practice, we take note of how we are feeling in any given moment. Anytime we notice our state has changed to something unpleasant, it is our cue to ask ourselves a few questions. These include, what am I feeling? What are my thoughts? How do I want to feel? And, what can I do to feel that particular way? All of these questions remind us of our responsibility to care for ourselves, first and foremost. In caring for ourselves, we are more apt to identify our needs. In identifying our needs, we know ways to nurture ourselves. In nurturing ourselves, we regain our balance. We always have a choice in how we want to feel and be. It is in the knowing and the utilization of this wisdom where we find ourselves no longer dependent on external factors for dealing with our emotions. Namaste 🙏🏻❤️☮️

Gauging your emotions and reactions based on what you need. Great message to remind us we run the mind and reactions !

How to figure out what you need based on your reactions and needs.

Always gratitude

Facing every unexplainable circumstance with appreciation and gratitude instead of reacting with frustration always leads to better results. Accept the mystery. Stop slamming doors that might provide the best way.

Emotions and Inner growth

1. It is good to recognize my feelings and identify what causes them. To care for myself is to allow what I need for my well being. 2. Journal thoughts and feelings to sort through them to gain understanding of myself.

I keep having a rehearsal conversation in my head of justification and I never say any of it to her

Self soothe

I need to focus on self soothing instead of seeking external means.

Using my emotions

Meditation, journaling and mindfulness are always available but I fell off meditation for a few days when I most needed it. Rats. But I’m back and liked the suggestions re: mindfulness. So right there.

Examining emotions

When I was at the end of my career I repeatedly found myself saying "I don't want to do this anymore." When I find myself thinking this again I thought maybe it wasn't the career, but me that was the whole problem. But when I started to review my thoughts that led to it I realized I was reliving old work memories. This was helpful to solidify my decision to leave...at.least the job

Stress of daily life

Emotionally feeling better the incident as I have come to call it has ironed itself out, my challenge now is the stress of work and the daily challenges I face about the dumb stuff.
