Ep #7 How to Handle Intense Emotions

Emotions are what we experience when a thought moves us to act.

Some are more intense than others and the intense ones are responsible for equally intense actions or beliefs. In this episode, How to Handle Intense Emotions, I share some tips on using the power of fear.

We can either be led by fear, or we can use fear as a springboard to leap forward.

I have learned that you can never understand a person until you are able to get under their skin, enter into their world and see things from their point of view. Their viewpoint is their reality, and realities can be altered by intense feelings.

Tips for handling fear:

1. Draw boundary lines around areas of your heart so that a powerful feeling of fear or anger, for example, does not go on to disrupt other areas.
2. Channel it into a physical act. Not one that you have no control over such as rage, but one that will produce results and bring you into a place of peace. A tumultuous mind cannot make smart decisions.
3. Talk to your sisters or brothers. It is important to have the right people in your life. You need your crazy friends, your confidantes, your calm friends and more.
