How we react from emotion and not from logic and reason

Published: Fri, 10/23/20

Dear

This week I saw a perfect example of how quickly emotions can flare when we feel unsafe. It's really difficult to keep calm, controlled and logical when our amygdala has been triggered.

On the menu this week:

1. Articles on emotional reactions

2. Strengths Snippets

3. Upcoming classes

Articles

Reacting from emotion rather than logic

A distressed woman came around the corner and started shouting about the fact that he didn't sneeze into a tissue.... and so an argument started. Our emotional reactions are normal, coming from a place of wanting safety... so what should we do?

How emotional baggage works and why it's good to clean it out

It's not the easiest thing to admit we have the stuff... and yet we're affected by it. It might be easier to admit that we're impacted by other's baggage! Here's how it works.

Strengths Snippets

How knowing your strengths can increase your energy and fulfillment at work

I had a fun conversation with a friend and colleague who also works with strengths, though a different tool. It was really amazing to see how we were saying the same thing, yet in different terminology.

It's here on Youtube, and here on Facebook.

We chatted about the benefits of knowing your strengths especially at work, how to recognize the signs of strengths, and what to do about the energy drains. And... a few tips to find your own strengths.

Classes and Courses

Does your heart drop into your shoes when someone mentions 'networking'?

You're not alone! Many introverts find it a bore, scary, draining or just awful. We do so much better with 1-1 conversations than in a room full of people we don't know.

Yet... the relationships I've built with people over many years have often served me incredibly well in my business and personal life.

Here's an alternative to networking: Netcaring!

How to stay in touch wisely and find new kindred spirits.

(Pre-Launch Sale till 26 October)

George Kao (I'm a big fan, you'll see my in every one of his classes)! will teach us how to use 'netcaring' instead of 'networking' effectively. The pre-launch price is $50 and on 27 October it goes up to $60.

I am an affiliate of George, and I'll receive a small payment from him if you buy, at no extra cost to you. If you don't want to use this link, browse his website and look for his latest course.

Wishing you a beautiful week ahead.

The world is in turmoil. That's why I keep using the tools I teach, and also reach out for support when I need it. It's important to stay as calm and centered as possible. If you need support in any way, please reach out so we can have a chat about what would support you.

With love,

Liesel
