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

Image
  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 ...

What'd You Say?!

  You ever have a conversation with someone who really lifted your spirits? How about having a conversation with someone who’s a real downer?! We spend a lot of time talking to people. Matter of fact, talking is one of the most under rated and under trained aspects of protecting yourself. It’s much better if you can talk your way out of a bad situation, rather than having to resort to some form of physicality. This is why we spend so much time on sharing effective communication frameworks in the PeaceWalker course. But All of that Aside… When we think about communicating, we often just think about talking to other people. We forget how we talk to ourselves! You may have heard it called, “Self talk.” All day long we talk to ourselves. We carry on an inner dialogue in our heads that only we can hear. Unfortunately, this means it's very easy to be hard on ourselves. There's something about privacy which makes it easy to say the things you would never say out loud to another living...

Cracks in Your Foundation?!

Image
  Last night we had one of our weekly coaching calls for the PeaceWalker Evolution Course. What a great call! Rob and Jenn, a couple of the Level II - Momentum folks (people who graduated from Evolution last year and came back for the second Level.), were tasked to run the meeting as part of their training. I must say, they did a stand up job! The topic of discussion was building an Unshakable Foundation. WTH is that!? It’s basically the way you live. Your habits. What you do in your day to day life. How do you train your… Body  - Your physical health Mind  - What you’re filling your head with Mouth  - How you’re communicating Heart  - How you foster your relationships Why?! Without a solid foundation it’s difficult to remain balanced. When you are not balanced, it more difficult to stay calm, cool, and collected, (especially) under pressure. As I often say,  “You can’t hide crazy.” (It eventually comes out!) Regardless… You don’t have to be in the PeaceWal...
