The Power of Emotion: Mastering Human Emotion for an Extraordinary Life
One of the most powerful forces on earth is human emotion, and to live an extraordinary life, it is essential to become emotionally fit. Emotional intelligence is valuable, but being emotionally ready and in a positive state is crucial. To have a quality life, we need to discipline our disappointment and frustration and have a mindset that everything is a gift. Our ability to control what things mean to us is the key to transforming our lives. By changing our stories and finding empowering meanings, we can change our lives.
Separating from Emotions: Witnessing and Shifting Thoughts
Separating ourselves from our thoughts and emotions allows us to have power and freedom. We are not our thoughts or emotions but something more. By witnessing our thoughts and recognizing that they are not us, we can disassociate from their negative influence. Instead of being reactive, we can choose to appreciate and find joy in the present moment. Shifting our thoughts and focusing on gratitude can help break patterns and change our state.
Finding Meaning in Struggles and Turning Them Into Gifts
The journey of cancer survivors demonstrates the power of finding meaning in struggles. Cancer can be seen as a gift, an opportunity to explore one's true self and grow spiritually. By transforming one's story and embracing vulnerability, individuals can find strength, compassion, and a purpose to serve others. The experience of cancer can inspire personal growth, resilience, and the appreciation of life's blessings, leading to a desire to share positivity and hope with others facing similar challenges.
At 31, Kris Carr, the best-selling author of Crazy Sexy Cancer, was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. Her battle to survive was not just a physical one – the emotional journey she took was remarkable.
You'll hear from Kris, and you'll also witness a one-on-one session between Tony and a client who must learn how to separate from his stress. Tony helps him tap into the higher part of himself that is more than his emotion, and more than just his thoughts.
Finally, Emilee Garfield of the Cancer Core Recovery Project, shares her own experience, and how she is helping others heal through her "movement as medicine" philosophy.
