Leading different types of emotions

Leading worryWorry is usually linked with our expectation. It is the opposite of faith. When we worry, we lack the ability to concentrate on constructive thingsMake credible decisions.39

Step one: self awareness; first recognize the feeling, and the thought sponsoring the feeling, or image that is sponsoring the anxiety

Step two: analyze the situation fearlessly and honestly and figure out what the worst that could possibly happen as a result of the failure

Step three: after figuring out what was worst that could possibly happen, reconcile yourself to accepting it, and accepting all of its consequences.

Step four: now devote time to think constructively on how to improve upon the worse which has been mentally accepted

Steps in overcoming worry to make a difference by Willis H. Carrier

Be Willing to have it so.. Acceptance of what has happened is the first step in overcoming the consequences of any misfortune Prof. William James

In summary, learn to move from negative and anxious thoughts towards positive concerns about your goals. - CMAD

Leading angerIn its foundation, the more determined you are to make a difference, the more difficult it is for you to be provoked to anger.

Anger is never without a reason, but seldom a good one. Benjamin Franklin

Anger is the most seductive of the negative emotions, and it is the feeling people are worst at controlling. It is the most intransigent. Brooding Fuels angers flame47

Anger Cycle

Balm for AngerSince anger builds on anger, challenge the thought (by obtaining or formulating mitigating information) that is sponsoring the first burst of anger. Timing is very important here, as the mitigating information should arrive earlier in the anger cycle.

Cooling down: cooling off physiologically by waiting out the adrenal surge caused by anger thus de-escalating it. While cooling of you put brakes on the thoughts that escalate anger, by seeking out distractions

Avoid catharsis giving vent to rage

Note: Lashing out at people may sometimes provoke positive actions, when it restores a sense of control or rights an injustice for instance, but the decision to discipline someone shouldnt be taken during the moment of anger-CMAD

Leading fearFear is the greatest undoing of the average person E.A Adeboye

Most of our fears originate from our avid self fascination: our jobs, our reputation, our health, our finances, our families and so on. The more self-focused we are, the more we are afraid of loosing those things with which we are obsessed.

Overcoming fearsDo the things you are afraid to do and death of fear is certain Ralph Waldo Emerson

Boldly step out to do those things that you have been afraid, but need to do.

A major step towards overcoming your fears is to carefully think through and answer these questions:What am I afraid of?Why am I afraid of it?What can I do about it

Work on gaining the right perspective of events or people that makes us afraid. We sometimes overestimate them

D.Preparation: prepare ahead of time to manage and lead your fears, indeed to meet it head on

Lead your regretsWe all have certain things that we wish we had done better in the past which now feeling sorry for.

To lead your regrets you really ought to be thankful for themWe all have certain things that we wish we had done better in the past which we are now feeling sorry for. 54
