Mastering an Emotion

In our daily quest in life and for happiness we have to be super vigilant in watching our emotions. Anything or anyone can set a spark that quickly set off a blaze. I consider myself apt in being Ariba 5A0-130 able to watch and control my emotions when I consult clients. If I let myself become stressed or allow negative emotions to creep in during a coaching or intuitive reading session, I know I'm letting my client down. I know that for me to be at 100% efficiency I have to watch what I eat and drink, get good rest, be fit and vital and be emotionally positive and empowering.
As I said, it only takes one spark to light a fire and yesterday a blaze nearly started. I had a client who believed she knew more about what I do and how I should conduct my business than I do. That's fine, she can have her opinion and it's her right to do so. My challenge, and this is nothing about her per se, is that she pressed my buttons and I had to use all my skill and training as a coach to stay on track. I'm a professional and I'm very good at what I do and I'm rarely stressed when I consult with clients; however, with this client, I felt my stress levels rising.
So what happened here?
Well, as prepared as we might think we are, there is always that ball that comes from left field when we're not expecting it. I was traveling along okay when all of a sudden my credibility was challenged. I actually felt a negative emotion arise, my stress level rose and my power of intuition and creativity crashed all within a few seconds.
Have you ever been in an accident or Ariba 5A0-200 incident where everything moves in slow motion? This is what happened as I observed my reaction to what was happening to me yesterday.
When someone or something attacks you, your flight and fight stress responses will kick in very quickly. When this happens, if you get the opportunity, monitor your own responses. Step up a level on consciousness and look at where you're at. Taking an action like this could mean the difference between and argument or fight and a peaceful resolution. And the peaceful resolution, which may be an agreement to disagree, is far better for us than conflict.
The beauty of monitoring a situation like this means a much shorter resolution because we never reach those high levels of negative arousal associated with conflict. In other words, we get over it much quicker and with less stress.
Does that sound easy? Do you think you might remember to monitor yourself during your next disagreement or conflict?
A call to action.
When (or if) someone pushes one of your buttons. 3M0-212 Stop and monitor your responses and reaction. Think about the processes going on within you. That's all, nothing else. Once you start to work on yourself and be aware of what's happening within yourself you're well on the way to mastering some of your own emotions.
Try it.
Until next time, have the best outstanding day.
