Ending My Day with Matthew 6:26
I thought about writing a few things but somehow I think there are better things to accompany my dreams for the day. Today had been totally unproductive. Maybe I did something, but I wasn't aware of it. Though my heart and mind is burdened, there was steady voice that tells me that I should not worry. It was actually this verse from the Bible.Its not easy to hope nor it is easy see something that is practically invincible.
Nonetheless, I want to bring this promises to bed.
And other promises too... in the following powerful Bible verses.

Anthony Robbins-Ten Emotions of Power-Part 2
I’ve mentioned about how most people deal with emotions which are;
1. Avoidance
2. Denial
3. Competition
4. Learning & Using
Read my previous blog entry here.
Step One
Identify what you’re really feeling.
When I felt negative emotions, the first thing I do is to identify those feelings. Is it anger? Rejection? Disappointment? Or just being uncomfortable. One way for me to deal with the emotions is writing in this personal blog. It helps me to identify my emotions. Maybe it showed as if I’m wallowing in the negative emotions but I felt I needed the time to identify the emotions by writing it out. Different people will have different ways. Some people might need to just sit it out with a cup of coffee. What’s yours? Take a time out; identify what are you actually feeling.
Step Two
Acknowledge, appreciate your emotions, knowing they support you.
I used to hate my emotions. I hated being emotional. I hated the fact that I’m a woman; having these emotions seem to make the typical stereotype true…that women are emotional. So I became less emotional. Years of ‘training’ makes my wall thicker and higher. And I’m ‘happy’ with that accomplishment.
Not until I found out that emotions is the way my body, my inner & outer world, trying to communicate with me. My emotions are my guidance, my lighthouse and my personal consultant.
If I’m feeling good, it shows I’m doing something right. If I’m feeling bad or negative, it means I need to do something, to change something so I could feel good again.
All emotions, bad or good are signals that needed to be acknowledged. Tony says it best “Cultivate the feeling of appreciation for all emotions.’
Step Three
Get curious about what the message is offering you.
I identified my emotions. I acknowledged & appreciated my emotions. Now, I must be curious on the message my emotions are trying to convey to me. If I’m feeling some negative emotions, then what should I do about it?
Tony presented four simple questions, to raise the curiosity on my emotions.
What do really want to feel?
What would I have to believe in order to feel the way I’ve been feeling?
What am I willing to do to create a solution and handle this right now?
What can I learn from this?
Here, I need to be honest with myself and reminds myself on the four ways to deal with my emotions. Not to fall under avoidance, denial and competitions but into the learning and using mode.
Step Four
Get confident.
“The quickest, simplest and most powerful way I know to handle any emotion is to remember a time when you felt a similar emotion and realize that you’ve successful handled this emotion before” – Tony Robbins
Being alive means I’ve felt several similar emotions several times. Well, many times actually. Now, how did I handle those emotions? How did I overcome them? Did what I've done are positive actions? Not indulging in other things & fall under denial? Did I face it straight up & do positive things that made my negative emotions into positive? Did I understood my emotions & what it was trying to tell me?
So are you having a negative emotion right now? Have you felt it before? What did you do to get yourself up? Once you know what you’ve done before its easier for you to handle your emotion now.
Step Five
Get certain you can handle this not only today, but in the future as well.
If I know that I had handle my emotions before, then I know, with certainty that I’m capable of handling these emotions when it hits me again. 100% certainty. Not maybe. Not I think so. Its I know so.
And there might be more one way that I’ve handled my emotions. When I’m depressed, I took a deep breath & use the steps. Maybe I looked up my nephew baby photos and get motivated to not giving up. Or text my best friend and with that comes the feeling of gratitude that I’ve got someone special in my life.
How did you handle your emotions before? You know you can use it again.
Step Six
Get excited and take actions.
Now that I identified my emotions, I acknowledged & appreciated them as my guidance, I got curious and really questioned my emotions, I asked myself have I ever faced these emotions, how I deal with them and I know that I can handle these emotions when it comes again.
What should I do now?
The above steps are the thoughts process, the last steps are when I took actions. That’s when I choose to listen to inspirations and motivational audio or write in this blog or write an article for my other blogs or looked at my family photos or exercise or look for plain water to drinks or fruits to munch.
Anything good that I understood that are positive and what my negative emotions are trying to tell me to do or change.
Sometime I forgot about these steps and wallow in my dark clouds. When I get back to the simple six steps I found that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Winding paths will come to a straighter and surer paths. A problem will always have a solution.
My next post for this topic will talk about Action Signals. Action Signal are negative emotions that we felt and what are the message and what the action we could take to deal with them.
Again, if you need to know more, please get Anthony Robbins book as this journal is just a tiny fraction of the wisdom he presented.
Have an amazing day!

The Ten Emotions Of Power - Part One ; By Anthony Robbins
From Anthony Robins "Awaken The Giant Within"
What have I learn't & to teach back?
I believe there are four basic ways in which people deal with emotion.
Which of these have you used today?
1. Avoidance
All of us wants to avoid painful emotions. So we try to stay from situations that made us feels those emotions & worse some of us refuse to feel at all. Though using avoidance will protect us short term, it keeps us from truly feelings which in turns doesn't help us to evolve as we should. And in the end, we can't avoid emotions.
A more powerful approach is to find the hidden, positive meaning in those emotions that we once thought as negative.
2. Denial
Denying that we are feeling certain emotions by telling ourselves lies; saying that it doesn't feels that bad but still inside we still questioning our very situations. Trying to pretend that nothing is wrong will only create more pain. By ignoring the message that our emotions tries to convey, it will intensifies until we have no other choice but to take notice.
We must learn to listen to our emotions clearly and use it for our own betterment.
3. Competition
Some people wear emotional badge by declaring their situations are worse than others, their emotions are much more serious than others.Instead of fighting or dealing with their painful emotions, they dwell in it. This is the deadliest trap because dwelling in painful emotions is like digging your own grave & in the end not only a person find its hard to get out, they might not want to get out at all. At that is clearly very destructive.
4. Learning & Using
The above three ways on how we deal with painful emotions must be overwrite by the fourth way which is learning & using. Painful emotions are signals that tells us that we should be doing somthing; a call to action.
If you want to make your life really work,you must make your emotions work for you.
Realize that the emotions you are feeling at this very moment are a gift, a guideline, a support system, a call to action.If you suppress your emotions and try to drive them out of your life, or magnify them & allow them to take over everything, then you're squandering on of life most precious resources.
You are the source of all your emotions;you are the one who creates them & you can feel any way you choose at any moment in time.

Questions Anthony Robbins asked.
I recommend further reading on this book. Buy it and although it had been around for ten years its still one of the most sought after motivational book.
You can borrow it from me but you have to move next door.
The one in Italics are my own reflections on the questions.
"The Problem Solving Questions"
1. What is great about this problem?
Find something positive about that problem.
2. What is not perfect yet?
Why do you think this is a problem in the first place? What inconvenience it had cause you that you labeled it as a problem? How do you thinks your situations could be perfect?
3. What am I willing to do to make it the way I want it?
Just as questions posed. What are you willing to do?
4. What am I willing to no longer do in order to make it the way I want it?
Again a straight forward question. But a little tricky to answer. No more procrastination is one good answer.
5. How can I enjoy the process while I do what is necessary to make it the way I want it?
Link the process of doing what needed to be done with something that will give you pleasures.
6. Why haven't you read my ten years old book?
Okay. I'm kidding
