Anthony Robbins AWAKEN THE GIANT... - Lemma Coaching

that nothing can change the situation, that the problem is too big—it's permanent, pervasive, and
personal. People go into these emotional states whenever they perceive their world in a way that
makes them feel like there's more going on than they can possibly deal with, i.e., the pace, amount, or
intensity of sensations seems overwhelming.
The Message:
The message of being overwhelmed is that you need to reevaluate what's most important to you in
this situation. The reason you're overloaded is that you're trying to deal with too many things at once,
and you're trying to change everything overnight. The feeling of being overloaded or overwhelmed
disrupts and destroys more people's lives than just about any other emotion.
The Solution:
1) Decide, out of all the things you're dealing with in your life, what the absolute, most important thing
is for you to focus on.
2) Now write down all the things that are most important for you to accomplish and put them in an
order of priority. Just putting them down on paper will allow you to begin to feel a sense of control
over what's going on.
3) Tackle the first thing on your list, and continue to take action until you've mastered it. As soon as
you've mastered one particular area, you'll begin to develop momentum. Your brain will begin to
realize that you are in control and you are not overloaded, overwhelmed, or depressed, that the
problem is not permanent, and that you can always come up with a solution.
4) When you feel that it's appropriate to start letting go of an overwhelming emotion like grief, start
focusing on what you can control and realize that there must be some empowering meaning to it all,
even though you can't comprehend it yet. Our self-esteem is often tied to our ability to control our
environments. When we create an environment inside our minds that has too many intense and
simultaneous demands upon us, of course we'll feel overloaded. But we also have the power to change
this by focusing on what we can control and dealing with it a step at a time. Probably the emotion that
most people fear the most, however, is that feeling of disconnection, also known as ...
10. LONELINESS. Anything that makes us feel alone, apart, or separate from others belongs in this
category. Have you ever felt really lonely? I don't think there's anybody alive who hasn't.
The Message:
The message of loneliness is that you need a connection with people. But what does the message
mean? People often assume it means a sexual connection, or instant intimacy. Then they feel
frustrated, because even when they do have intimacy, they still feel lonely.
The Solution:
1) The solution to loneliness is to realize that you can reach out and make a connection immediately
and end the loneliness. There are caring people everywhere.
2) Identify what kind of connection you do need. Do you need an intimate connection? Maybe
you just need some basic friendship, or someone to listen to you or to laugh or talk with. You simply
have to identify what your true needs are.
