How could they?!?

Hello Beautiful Human,

Chances are you can relate to this experience of a typical client: Neck tensing, heart rate increasing, and the only coherent thought is a question: “How could they?!?”

A long list of to-dos awaits her attention.

A foggy buzz seems to flood her brain.

The minutes ticked away to the meeting where she needed to be composed, focused and clear minded for a completely different topic.

Was she feeling bewildered, angry, or simply hurt?

On cue, the ruminating about the situation begun and again she circled back to the question, How could they?!?

More minutes ticked by. Looking at the clock brought another flood of emotions:

Annoyed.

This was NOT how she planned to spend her time – lost in the land of emotions, she tells herself, Get it together!

She rationalizes, makes assumptions about their motives, buffers…

This is an all-to-familiar experience of being a regular emotional, reasonable human being. Hit by the unexpected behavior of someone else.

Working and being in relationships with other humans can be emotionally complex.

The bad news is that we can’t always explain the actions of others.

The good news is that we don’t have to get lost in the swirl and spirling trying to figure them out.

The Magical power of learning and practicing a holistic way of working with and navigating emotions is the foundation for creating more ease and impact.

Emotions are information.

Emotions are experienced and generated in our nervous system and brain.

Emotions don’t have to be a mysterious force.

Emotional states can turn into moods, and moods can be falsely perceived or adopted as personality.

You are NOT a victim to this energy called emotions.

You have more power than you know and your emotional capacity is something that can be developed and strengthened.

Imagine developing the skills to name the bewilderment, process the anger, manage the ruminating, and focus your attention on your leadership responsibilities and show up the way you want to lead.

It is possible with awareness and practice.

This intangible and magical work happens inside holistic leadership coaching.

Reflect:

• Am I familiar with the wide array of emotions? Check out a tool like the feelings wheel.
• Do I know what emotions feels like in my body?
• Are there emotions that feel impossible to navigate or that you avoid at all cost?
• How do I engage with other’s emotions?

Awareness is always the first step to transformation.​​
