Which State Was THE Most Critical To Win!?




For some reason I was thinking about elections and voting...

As you know, it's always been a battle within the states (and country) which way is it going to go? Red or Blue?!


Well, when we're talking about which was a state is going to go,  there is a state that's more important than any one of them... 

And this state we're talking about has everything to do with you and your life. I'm talking everything about your life: Your safety, your family, your success, happiness and fulfillment. 

This detail literally will make or break your entire Life!


Well, What Is It?!

The answer isn't democrat or republican. The answer isn't Michigan, Texas, California or Florida...

The answer is...

Your Emotional State! 

Yep, that's right, if you can't control your emotional state you're going to struggle with everything. 

We call it being Baseline.

If you aren't in control of your own emotions, you won't be able to control anything. Worse yet, you are easily controlled by someone or something other than you!

How do you like those apples son!?

No matter how much skill you think you have, none of it matters if you can't keep in control of your emotions. 

The Big Guy...

I told you I'd be unpacking some of what I learned at the Tony Robbins UPW Workshop, so here we go...

Early in the seminar Tony said something that profound and clear:

"The quality of your Life is equal to the quality of your emotions."

Not your money (although that has some importance there are plenty of rich people who are miserable, unhealthy and dead from suicide).

Not your relationships (yes those are vitally important, but if you can't control your emotions you are likely to have more regrets than healthy relationships.)

Not your belongings (obviously, things come and go through your life)

Your health is largely based on your emotional state. 

AND your ability to protect yourself and others is balanced on your ability to control your emotional state. 

If you can't control your Baseline, you won't be able to control pretty much anything! 

It was interesting that Robbins had us spend a great amount of time learning how to control our energy and in turn our emotional state. 

I found that interesting, because my PeaceWalker Training Programs work a lot on that same thing... Mind you, we have a different focus kind of. Maybe a better way of putting it is that we explore different environments to control our emotions, as our courses deal with external conflict...

HOWEVER!!!

If you can't control the conflicts inside of you, you will be at a huge disadvantage dealing with the conflicts that happen outside of you! 


So, The Big Take Away Is...

Learn how to control your emotional state. The better you are able to do that, the better you'll be at being a Protector, a PeaceWalker, a Mom, Dad, employee, business owner, cop, teacher, counselor, manager, or whatever else you choose to do in the human experience.

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...
