4 Root Causes of Negative Emotions
4 Root Causes of Negative Emotions
While I was listening to a goals training (GOALS!) by Brian Tracy, he talked about how negative emotions play such a big part in blocking us from getting what we want (like a job!). I found the info profound enough to dictate it and use it as a resource (below). If any of the info raises any personal awareness, see it is a huge victory that you have exposed this huge weight you’ve been dragging along preventing you from moving toward what you want. Then choose to let go of it.
NEGATIVE EMOTIONS
The greatest enemy of success and happiness are negative emotions, of all kinds. Negative emotions absorb you and control much of your life and your thinking. Negative emotions hold you down, tire you out and take away all of your joy in life.
4 Root Causes of Negative Emotions
JUSTIFICATION
You can only be negative as long as you can justify to yourself and others that you are entitled to be angry or upset for some reason. This is why angry people are continually explaining and elaborating on their reasons for their negative feelings. However, if you cannot justify your negative feelings, you cannot justify being angry.
RATIONALIZATION
When you rationalize, you attempt to give a socially acceptable rationalization for an otherwise socially unacceptable act. You rationalize to explain away or put a favorable light on something you have done that you feel bad or unhappy about. You excuse your behavior or actions by creating an explanation that sounds good even though you know that you were an active agent in whatever occurred. You often create complex ways of putting yourself in the right by explaining that your behavior was really quite acceptable, all things considered. This rationalizing keeps your negative emotions alive.
Rationalization and justification always require that you make someone or something else the source or cause of your problem. You cast yourself in the role of the victim and you make the other person, or organization into the oppressor or the bad guy.
OVERCONCERN OR HYPER-SENSITIVITY TO THE WAY OTHER PEOPLE TREAT YOU
For some people, their entire self-image is determined by the way other people speak to them, talk to them or about them or even look at them. They have little sense of personal value or self-worth apart from the opinions of others. And if those opinions are negative for any reason, real or imagined, the victim immediately experiences anger, embarrassment, shame, feelings of inferiority, and even depression, self-pity and despair.
BLAMING
Blaming is the worst of all the root causes. On the Negative Emotions Tree, think of the trunk of the tree as the propensity to blame other people for our problems. Once you cut down the trunk of the tree, all the fruits of the tree, all the other negative emotions die immediately.
From this point forward, see and think about yourself as the master of your emotions, that you are completely in charge of your emotions. Refuse to whine and complain about things that happened in the past which cannot be changed. Instead, orient yourself toward the future. Think of what you want and where you’re going. Above all, think about your goals. The very act of thinking about your goals makes you positive and purposeful again.
When you take complete responsibility for your life and your emotions, you take the giant step from childhood to adulthood.

Laser Technology all the Rage
Laser Technology is all the rage lately. Low level current is placed thru the body, and helps disperse body fat, and even acne.
I find it curious that know one wants to know how this is done. They just want it done. But, once you look into what is going on within the body, the break down of the fat cell, and the burden of reabsorption that is placed on the body...we are now looking at another product that needs to be understood.
With Chinese Medicine, we understand that any toxic overload needs to be processed by the Kidneys, and can really bring you down, when you already have weak qi, or deficienies in the body. The meridian work we do, shows us the 'state of the nation' of your body, and you should ask an Acupuncturist what can be done to support the process.
So hear me correctly, you CAN do these proceedures, but you need to have multi-modal suppor to understand how your body will respond to the toxic load. Call me if you have any questions about this process.....Carol 512-909-1925.

'Hard Work'
"The pain that's created by avoiding hard work is actually much worse than any pain created from the actual work itself. Because if you don't begin to work on those ideas that God has blessed you with, they will become stagnant inside of you and eventually begin to eat away at you. You might seem OK on the outside, but inside you will be ill from not getting those ideas out of your heart and into the world. Stalling leads to sickness. But taking steps, even baby steps, always leads to success."
Peace,
Peace,
