http://mindpersuasion.com/emotional-freedom/ If you respond with less than resourceful emotions, you'll be limited in what you can achieve. When you can have a lot of choice of responses, you'll become a lot more successful. Learn How: http://mindpersuasion.com/emotional-freedom/

2. I remember once when I was in
college, I had a job interview.

3. I was in a hurry, and was worried
about how it was going to go.

4. It was only a summer job, but a couple
of my friends worked there, and told
me what an awesome gig it was.

5. Professional, had to wear a tie, pay
was pretty good.

6. But halfway there, I reached into my
pocket, pulled out the directions, and
realized I'd grabbed the wrong sheet
of paper.

7. I was angry, frustrated, and scared all
at once. Punched the windshield.
Cracked it.

8. Drove home, grabbed the directions
and drove back.

9. Luckily, I still got the job.

10. However, if it hadn't been my friends
who had put in a good word for me, I
likely wouldn't have.

11. This is an example of how "out of
control" emotions can sneak up on us.
Or pop out at any time.

12. It doesn't have to be anger. It can be
shame. Guilt. Fear. Frustration.

13. ALL of these have the effect of making
us feel "stuck."

14. Like we're trapped within a very
narrow band of behavior.

15. Not much choice.

16. On the other hand, when we're
relaxed, have a lot of options, feel safe
and confident, we are the OPPOSITE of
stuck.

17. We can FEEL the forward progress. We
go to sleep every night thinking,
"Dang, I did a lot of stuff today!"

18. Notice that this is different from,
"wow, I RECEIVED a lot of stuff today."

19. When you accomplish things based on
your own ACTIONS, it feels a million
times better than when somebody
hands you something for free.

20. This, however, requires you GET OUT
of those stuck states as SOON as you
find yourself in them.

21. You'll NEVER avoid them, that's just of
life.

22. You WILL forget the directions.

23. You WILL make mistakes.

24. It's how you RESPOND that makes all
the difference.

25. The more quickly you can respond,
and the more RESOURCEFULLY you can
respond, the less those random events
will slow you down.

26. On the other hand, if you don't feel
you have a lot of options, it can be
super easy to feel victimized by almost
anything.

27. You can see those "events" as PROOF
that you are a victim, and you're
doomed.

28. Or you can see those "events" as
simply obstacles to get around, and
FEEL CONFIDENT after the fact.

29. Maybe even learning a thing or two
along the way.

30. This requires that you dig inside your
emotions and find your own unique
"emotional sore spots."

31. While everybody's is similar in
structure, your own unique "sore
spots" have their own unique recipe
based on your own unique history.

32. But it's easy to go back in time, and
RE-DEFINTE how you labeled those
early events.

33. So current events bother you a LOT
less.
