735 | How Your Emotions Are Driving the Car

Own Your Choices Own Your Life

In this episode, I wanted to share some thoughts on our emotions and how they are driving the car. Picture yourself in the backseat of your car working on your personal development, trying to grow yourself and you get stuck in this perpetual loop of frustrations or emotions on repeat and you can’t find a way to break that pattern. In this episode, we discuss:

1) Sometimes our brain can't tell the difference between a bear, an annoying client, or a tailgating car. This is when the “90-second rule” comes in handy. According to Harvard brain scientist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, ninety seconds is all it takes to identify an emotion and allow it to dissipate while you simply notice it. 2) Emotions operate as urgent signalling devices. How can you step back, zoom out and start to see what this message, the emotion wants you to know? The emotions feed the stories and the stories feed the emotions. By zooming out, or playing out the feelings of the best case scenario, we are start to create a new loop of emotions that it has all worked out better than we can imagine.
