Emotional Management

"You are what you are,
You do what you do,
And you feel the way you feel,
Primarily because of the habitual thoughts
That you allow to dominate your mind."

Man is made or unmade by himself; in the armoury of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself. He also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace. By the right choice and true application of thought, man ascends to the Divine Perfection; by the abuse and wrong application of thought, he descends below the level of the beast. Between these two extremes are all the grades of character, and man is their maker and master.

• A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts


• Every action and feeling is preceded by a thought


• Right thinking begins with the words we say to ourselves


• If anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think and talk about such things.

A Positive Mental Attitude is:

It is not innate (like eye colour or blood type) but is often habitual, unconscious and by the time we reach adulthood, deeply ingrained.

A positive mental attitude has major advantages that contribute to productivity.

A Negative Mental Attitude is:

A negative mental attitude is not innate either, but is often habitual, unconscious and deeply ingrained in the character.

"Negative mental attitudes" have numerous disadvantages to the atmosphere and productivity of a team.

John

John is the most intelligent and educated person I know.
But he feels depressed and beaten.
So he loses more often than he wins.
He is unable to manage his emotions.
And he pays a severe price.

Anna

Anna is not as well educated as John, but she has a great attitude,
She never feels beaten.
So she rarely is!
Anna IS able to manage her emotions.
It helps her to achieve whatever she sets her sights on.

Your body responds automatically, instantly and unerringly to the thoughts that occupy your mind.

1. If you have bad thoughts you feel bad.


2. If you have good thoughts you feel good.


3. If you have mixed thoughts you will have mixed feelings.

A positive mental attitude relies on your ability to control and direct your thoughts:

1. Consistently


2. For extended periods


3. Irrespective of what others are doing.


4. Irrespective of what others are saying to you.

To the degree to which you allow your mind and conversation to dwell upon the "bad past" you will feel bitterness and resentment.

To the degree to which you allow your mind and conversation to dwell upon the "good past" you will feel nostalgic and a faint sense of loss.

To the degree to which you allow your mind and conversation to dwell upon the "bad future" you will feel worry, fear and stress.

You will inspire enthusiasm, motivation and confidence to the degree to which you are able to direct the conversation towards the FUTURE GOOD.

Take control of your mind and your conversation and direct it to the FUTURE GOOD.
