Lesson 20

Make sure to complete your four everyday exercises along with the class today where we will be looking at how much control we have over our emotions and feelings. I took the liberty of borrowing my own video of an exercise I have already recorded that covers this topic. This will be quick and mostly painless.

If you took the time to watch the video and follow along then you were able to see and feel how you took control of your emotions in various ways. I also want to ask you to be honest about this next thing. Have you ever been in a situation where emotions run high and worried how people would feel about you if you didn't look bothered? In those moments did you ever crank up your show of emotion just to not end up the topic of conversation later when someone might point out how little it seemed you cared? It could have happened in a relationship or at a funeral. The point is that we know a certain level of response is expected in some situations. We have to be ready to admit to ourselves that even in those instances we have a choice how we respond. I hope this helps us all to be a better steward of our feelings and emotions.

Go forth in your day and shine.
