Anthony Robbins AWAKEN THE GIANT... - Lemma Coaching

So often people feel so overloaded they don't even know what they're feeling. All they know is that
they're being "attacked" by all these negative emotions and feelings. Instead of feeling overloaded,
step back for a moment and ask yourself, "What am I really feeling right now?" If you think at first,
"I'm feeling angry," begin to ask yourself, "Am I really feeling angry? Or is it something else? Maybe
what I'm really feeling is hurt. Or I feel like I've lost out on something." Realize that a feeling of hurt
or a feeling of loss is not as intense as the feeling of anger. Just in taking a moment to identify what
you're really feeling, and beginning to question your emotions, you may be able to lower the emotional
intensity you're experiencing, and therefore deal with the situation much more quickly and easily.
If, for example, you say, "Right now I feel rejected," you might ask yourself, "Am I feeling rejected, or
am I feeling a sense of separation from a person I love? Am I feeling rejected, or am I feeling
disappointed! Am I feeling rejected, or am I feeling a little uncomfortable?" Remember the power of
Transformational Vocabulary to immediately lower your intensity. Again, as you identify what you're
really feeling, you can lower the intensity even more, which makes it much easier to learn from the
emotion.
STEP TWO
Acknowledge and Appreciate Your Emotions,
Knowing They Support You
You never want to make your emotions wrong. The idea that anything you feel is "wrong" is a great
way to destroy honest communication with yourself as well as with others. Be thankful that there's a
part of your brain that is sending you a signal of support, a call to action to make a change in either
your perception of some aspect of your life or in your actions. If you're willing to trust your emotions,
knowing that even though you don't understand them at the moment, each and every one you
experience is there to support you in making a positive change, you will immediately stop the war you
once had with yourself. Instead, you'll feel yourself moving toward simple solutions. Making an
emotion "wrong" will rarely cause it to become less intense. Whatever you resist tends to persist.
Cultivate the feeling of appreciation for all emotions, and like a child that needs attention, you'll find
your emotions "calming down" almost immediately.
STEP THREE
Get Curious about the Message This
Emotion Is Offering You
Remember the power of changing emotional states? If you put yourself in a state of mind where you
truly are feeling curious about learning something, this is an immediate pattern interrupt to any
emotion and enables you to learn a great deal about yourself. Getting curious helps you master your
emotion, solve the challenge, and prevent the same problem from occurring in the future. As you
begin to feel the emotion, get curious about what it really has to offer you. What do you need to do
right now to make things better? If you're feeling lonely, for example, get curious and ask, "Is it
possible that I'm just misinterpreting the situation to mean that I'm alone, when in reality I have all
