Where's Your Home Base!?


 



I told you that I would unpack some of my Tony Robbins UPW experience with you, so here's something else that Tony asked us at the conference:

Where is your Home Base emotionally?!

Yesterday we talked a little about Baseline, that is, having control of your emotional state...

Well, today I challenge you to consider where your typical emotional home base is?!

Where is your current baseline?

What emotions do you typically feel?

The exercise that Tony had us do was:

1) Make a list. What is your emotional pattern? What are the positive and negative emotions you feel at least once a week or every day?

2) Out of that list, circle your top two empowering and disempowering emotions.

Then he had us list one or two emotions, that if we lived through them everyday, how they might change our life for the better. 

He went on to explain that by controlling our emotional state we change our life and take things to the next level if we chose to.  

We continued to dive deep into our habits and the emotional state we often found ourselves in. 

We went on to dig into how we developed those emotions and what they meant to us. 

We didn't stop there though, we began uncovering how we could change them to fuel different, more favorable outcomes. 

THEN... We discovered how we can influence the emotional state of people other than ourselves.


Why Is This So Important?!

As I've said time and time again, if you can't control your own emotional state, you are going to have a difficult time applying any of your skills, no matter how good you are at them.

AND... 

We all have habits that we fall into and THAT is our Emotional Home Base.

Seeing that clearly will serve you well during conflict and quite simply in every area of your life.

Remember, if you don't have command over yourself, you can EASILY be manipulated!

This lesson has much more impact on protecting yourself and others than most want to put the time and work into. 

We get more into the specifics of how to use that during conflict in the PeaceWalker Evolution Course.

An Uncomfortable Situation

  Funny pic (and movie) about a not so funny situation… In training as in Life, it’s better to treat people with dignity and respect. However… What does that look like in the moment? Being that I’m teaching a Women’s Assault Prevention and Response Workshop this weekend - it’s probably a good time to talk about… Uncomfortable Situations Let’s talk about training at the academy for a minute… We run open co-ed classes at the local academy. What does that mean? Men and women train together, but we don’t stop there. People of different skill levels, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, careers, religious beliefs, political affiliations, ages, injuries, pre-existing conditions, life experience, training expectations etc. etc. train together! We ALL work together! Overall, I think it’s better this way. Of course sometimes there’s static, you know, conflicts, and misunderstanding. When something happens, most of the time it’s just that, a misunderstanding… Sometimes people simply do

The Shot Heard Around the World

Even though many could see where all of this division and hatred in our country was leading to, when we witness the actual violence, realty once again floods in and has a way of shattering the comfort of our complacency, if only until the next headline. Some may find all of this shocking, others may see it simply validating their own fears. Regardless, of your political views, we have to take into account what this level of violence can do not only to the former President and his family, but what does to the state of our entire Nation. Yesterday as news broke of former President Donald Trump being shot, I can’t say that I was entirely surprised. Saddened, but not surprised. Regardless of your political stance, this act of violence is a dark reminder of the dangerous consequences of a society steeped in hate and division. Our collective heartbreak should not be about politics, but about the division and hatred that fuels this erosion of our humanity. We live in a time where traditional

Cutting Through the Static

  Me and the crew at Venue 3 Two after a PeaceWalker Conflict Communication Workshop Remember in the old days when you used to listen to the radio on a road trip? No, not digital or streaming. I’m talking about old school FM radio. When you’re putting some miles on and crossing state lines. The radio stations you listen to don’t broadcast far enough for your entire trip, so you have to channel surf to find new channels as you move on down the road. You continue to push the search button until you hear a song in the genre that you want so you can lock in a desirable station for a spell. Sometimes you’re listening to a song you really like but the station is fading… The static starts feint, almost imperceptible, than grows in intensity to the degree that you can no longer ignore it. If you really like the song, you try to hang on as long as you can, listening to the tune through the white noise and times it cuts out completely, hoping to hear as much of the song as you can before the sta
