Simple steps to mastering your emotions

Do you know we all have an emotional guidance system. Our emotions are powerful teachers and our innate guides.  They can be our best friend or our worst enemy. You decide.

Emotions are energy in motion. They are our call into action that can take our life sideways, protect us from danger or keep us trapped in old patterns and behaviors. They can be negative or positive. Feelings in our gut can protect and connect us to our intuition that leads us on this path of life.

You have the power to harness them by seeing emotions as a call to tune in, listen and learn. 

Becoming conscious of your emotional life is an important step in the journey to creating a life with more joy, love, peace and passion. 

These simple steps have helped me create a practice to master my emotions and grace in life.  Imagine what your life would be like if you were 10% happier.  Would it be worth it.

• Find a quiet space and relax. Close your eyes and begin to breathe in and out through your nose. Equal breaths in to the counter four, pause and equal breaths out to the count of four. 
• Repeat for 10 breaths
• Observe how you feel and find what specific emotion is pulling at you
• Keep following your breath as you listen and abserve
• Embrace the emotion without judgment reacting to it just be still, honor and accept it as a guide and teacher for you
• As your breathing calms state your intention.  I accept this emotion and let go of my attachment to it.
• Grab your journal and write about what you learned or what this experience taught you.

Learning is a life-long journey. Embracing the lessons your emotions bring becomes as your guides makes the journey oh so fun and a blessed adventure.
