Brianna Wiest - The Mountain Is You_ Transforming Self-Sabotage Into Self-Mastery (2020)

interpret, and respond to your emotions in an enlightened
and healthy way.
People with high emotional intelligence are often able to
better get along with different types of people, feel more
contentment and satisfaction in their everyday lives, and
consistently take time to process and express their authentic
feelings.
Mostly, though, emotional intelligence is the ability to
interpret the sensations that come up in your body and
understand what they are trying to tell you about your life.
The root of self-sabotage is a lack of emotional intelligence,
because without the ability to understand ourselves,
we inevitably become lost. These are some of the
most misunderstood aspects of our brains and bodies that
inevitably leave us stuck.
YOUR BRAIN IS DESIGNED TO RESIST
WHAT YOU REALLY WANT
Something interesting happens in the human brain when
we get what we want.
When we imagine what goals we want to achieve, we
often do so with the expectation that they will elevate our
quality of life in some tangible way, and once we have arrived
at that place, we will be able to “coast.”
