Ever wondered why the same patterns keep showing up in your life no matter what you try to change externally? The answer lies in understanding the powerful connection between your emotional energy and your reality.

We all emit a unique energetic frequency that attracts matching experiences back to us. Think of yourself as a radio antenna, both broadcasting and receiving emotional signals that shape your daily life. Your dominant emotional state—whether rooted in fear or love—becomes your "set point," creating a resonance that draws in more of the same energy.

My own journey from stressed-out corporate climber to someone who consciously manages my emotional state began at my grandmother's funeral. Despite facing unimaginable tragedies throughout her life—losing three children, battling cancer, and dealing with my grandfather's alcoholism—my grandmother consistently emanated love and warmth. The packed church at her funeral, filled with people whose lives she had touched, revealed a profound truth: what we put out into the world comes back to us multiplied.

In this episode, we explore practical ways to master your emotional state without suppressing your feelings or practicing toxic positivity. You'll learn how to process emotions healthily, set powerful intentions each morning, and use simple techniques like breathwork, movement, and gratitude journaling to maintain a higher frequency. I also share how small "two degree" shifts in your energy can create massive transformations in your experience of life.

When you understand that your reality is shaped by your internal state rather than external circumstances, you gain the power to truly live extraordinarily. By choosing to operate from love-based emotions like optimism, generosity, and kindness, you not only transform your own experience but elevate everyone around you.

Ready to take control of your energetic signature and create the life you truly desire? Listen now and discover how to consciously choose your emotional set point for a more joyful, authentic, and fulfilling life.

I'm your host, michelle Rios, and today we're delving into the topic of mastering your emotions and being intentional about the energy you emit, and I want to focus on both how we can achieve emotional regulation and self-mastery, and why it matters, specifically the impact that emotional mastery can have not only on our well-being, but on the well-being of those around us.

From there, voila, you'll be on the list.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so let's delve into this week's topic Specifically. I want you to sort of sit back and think have you ever really considered how you show up in the world energetically? We all have an energy vibration that we bring to our daily lives. So think for a moment how are you showing up in your daily life In this fast-paced world? We often overlook the fact that we admit energy and that we impact others, but we do. All living things, including you and me, are made up of energy, and our emotions are energy and action. They're more than just feelings. They represent the energy we release and the frequency at which we vibrate, and I know a lot of you know about this, but I want to spend a little bit of time here really to get a visual on this. So imagine that each one of us is like a radio antenna, right, we're both broadcasting in a unique emotional signal out into the world, but we're also receiving the emotional signals from others around us, particularly in our vicinity, and each emotion has an energetic frequency that it radiates outward, much like a radio wave.

Speaker 1:

So, with love and fear being the primary overarching emotions that govern our experiences and our actions, we need to be aware that when we're acting from a place of love and all of the emotions rooted in love so generosity and kindness and optimism and thoughtfulness and happiness and joy, all of those love-rooted emotions that fill us up with again joy, gratitude, optimism, that actually raises our frequency and our vibration. In contrast, fear lowers our frequency and it manifests as worry, anxiety, self-doubt, pessimism, frustration. We've all experienced that. Right, we know that. But while we all feel both fear and love throughout our lifetimes, we all have a specific emotional set point, a sort of North Star, if you will. It's an overriding emotional state of being that really permeates who we are. It's kind of our signature and if you think about that, you know these people right.

Speaker 1:

You've thought about not only how you show up but you feel how others show up. So, for example, your emotional set point, whether you consistently operate from love or fear. Your emotional set point. Whether you consistently operate from love or fear affects not only your worldview, your decisions, your interactions. It also impacts your overall health and well-being and that of the people in your immediate vicinity.

Speaker 1:

So perhaps you can think of people in your life that, no matter what's going on, they're in a perpetual state of anxiousness. Or perhaps you know someone that, no matter what could be going on well in their life or positively in their life, they always have a negative outlook. They have, as we like to say, a problem for every solution. Conversely, you probably know someone that, no matter what's going on, they always have an optimistic outlook, or even in the face of challenges or setbacks, they're able to stay positive. So now think for a moment. Ask yourself what your North Star emotion is. How would people in your life describe you energetically speaking? How do you show up your life? Describe you energetically speaking? How do you show up? Again, we all experience a full range of emotions, from positive to negative, from love-based to fear-based, but we each have this overriding signature emotion. So I'll tell you it's evolved for me over the years.

Speaker 1:

As a younger person, fear really drove me. I didn't know that it was fear, but certainly there was a fear of failure, a fear of disappointing others, a fear of rejection or not belonging that sort of permeated all of my actions. So how it manifested in the world was stress. I showed up on my day-to-day basis really stressed out, looking incredibly busy but also kind of frazzled, and there was sort of a badge of honor in those early years and this is going back to my adolescence as well as in the early part of my career in my 20s and into my early 30s. I think about that now and think, oh, it's disappointing that that's exactly the state of being I was in, because I know for a fact that there were people that I likely turned away because the energy that I admitted was toxic. You know who wants to be around, somebody who's perpetually stressed, right, it's a heavy negative cloud in the air. And yet that's my state of being, was like that for many years In fact. I'm going to tell you a story in a little bit about how that all came to change. To tell you a story in a little bit about how that all came to change.

Speaker 1:

But my inability to manage stress back in the early years took a real toll on my health. Obviously, I didn't sleep well, I did stress eating. I was shorter with people from time to time. I really wasn't enjoying life because the more stress I felt it seemed, the more things showed up in my life to be stressed about, which we understand now is resonance, right, you don't get what you want. Pressure and overwhelmed that's what I drew into my life, so it felt like it was a constant tsunami of more of the same. I couldn't get out from underneath it. It took me years to realize that that's what was happening. I just thought, like this is what happened when you were a high achiever trying to make a big dent in the universe. I didn't recognize that there was another way of doing things. And man, oh man, when I figured that piece out, my life changed drastically. I mean, it was a massive transformation. Flash forward to today.

Speaker 1:

I show up very differently, and it's not that I don't get stressed or frustrated or angry or experience sadness or grief. Of course I do. But I understand how I think and feel impacts me and those around me, and so I am very intentional about managing my emotions and the energy that I put out in the world. So for me, my set point is love. Again, I still feel the whole range of emotions. Just like everyone else, I don't stuff anything down. I feel my feelings deeply, but I process my feelings and when the time is right, I always get back to this set point, and my set point is love. It's optimistic, it's positive, I have a lot of compassion and kindness, and I'm able to be there only because I've gone through this transformation over the years. And so I want to talk a little bit about how that all came to be, and it's an interesting story because it happened at a funeral of all places.

Speaker 1:

I was in my early 30s when I got the phone call that my grandmother, who I was incredibly close to because, in part, as you know, my parents were very young when they had me. We spent the first few years of my life living with my paternal grandparents, so I had a very close bond to my grandmother in particular. But my grandmother was in her 90s when she passed away, and I will tell you she was probably my biggest advocate to become educated. I was the first to go to college in my extended family, first to go to graduate school, and I sort of paved the way for that next generation, and my grandmother was such an advocate for that. So she knew partly that required me to leave my home in Maine, go out into the world, travel in the world, see the world, and she was so supportive of that and I always thought that that was the only way to do it. So I left. I was on this quest to become and become educated and become professional and transform my life from my humble beginnings.

Speaker 1:

But then I show up at my grandmother's funeral and had to eat some humble pie because I was tasked with both crafting and delivering the eulogy at the funeral and I was happy to do it. I knew my grandmother very, very well and as I'm going up to the pulpit in our church back home in our hometown and I look out at this crowd, all I could think of is who are these people? My grandmother was in her 90s. She had no other living siblings. Most of her friends had long passed away. My grandfather had passed away more than 20 years earlier and I didn't know who all these people were, because at the particular point in time this is now going back a couple decades, but at that particular point in time there weren't that many of my extended family left in the area, so there are only a few of my family members and close family friends, but the church was packed. So here I am, sort of getting ready to deliver this eulogy and really perplexed on who the heck all these people are. And it dawned on me as I'm giving this story about my grandmother, and so, as it goes, I start to tell my grandmother's story.

Speaker 1:

My grandmother lived a very hard life. In fact, I would say her life was mostly marked by tragedy, devastating tragedy. She lost three children out of her eight before she died, so pre-deceased. One was an eight-year-old daughter who, similar to the COVID conditions it was during a diphtheria outbreak outbreak. The little girl, who was only eight years old, was taken from the family and died alone in a hospital, and my grandmother and the other children and my grandfather were quarantined to their home and the news was delivered to my grandparents that their baby daughter had died and they couldn't be with her. They couldn't even bury her because the diphtheria outbreak was so contagious and there was so much worry that it would spread even further. And my grandmother persevered. I can only imagine the heaviness of that experience.

Speaker 1:

And then, a few years later, my father was born in the early 50s and at the same time she was in the hospital delivering my father, who's the baby of eight children. Her eldest son had died on the battlefield in Korea, so her beloved son, who she had sent off to fight in the war as a Marine, has died. She had to leave my father, her brand new baby infant, in the hospital so she could attend her son's funeral. Well, you can only imagine the amount of stress that put on the family. My grandfather descended into alcoholism, so my grandmother had to contend with that situation on top of it, and she also had ovarian cancer in the 1970s, in a time when very few people recovered from any kind of cancer, let alone invasive ovarian cancer. But my grandmother survived and I share these tragedies because if you met my grandmother, you would have no idea that any of this had ever happened to her idea that any of this had ever happened to her because my grandmother understood the importance of emotional regulation and the impact of the energy we emit.

Speaker 1:

Whether she was schooled in it from traditional books, I doubt it, but she understood the principle. My grandmother always, always, always felt like a sanctuary for all of us. I grew up in a home with young parents and younger siblings, and so in any given moment of any day of the week my household felt chaotic and unstable and my grandmother was always you know grandmother's home was always this place I could go to that felt not just warm and inviting and welcoming but constant love. There never really was a time where I ever saw my grandmother angry or that I ever saw her fluctuate from this overriding North Star emotion of she just served up love everywhere she went and I know for a fact that she grieved because we talked about these things. She was open about it, but she did not carry the toxicity of those negative emotions and experiences and bring them with her everywhere she went. Instead, she told the stories of her life in a very different way, how much she valued us and how much she loved others. She showed up for others in our community, always there for others Because, having experienced loss, having experienced stress within the family with my grandfather's alcoholism, with the death of her children that she lost, with dealing with cancer she could then extend compassion to others and in fact a lot of people didn't know that my grandmother had gone through these things, who met her later in life, because she had felt her feelings, processed them and gotten to a place where she realized that she wanted to feel love.

Speaker 1:

She wanted to give love, she wanted to be loved, and you get what you are. My grandmother was probably, from a financial standpoint an actual money and dollars in the bank one of the most destitute women that you would have ever met, and yet, I can say this with conviction the wealthiest woman I've ever known. Those people that showed up the day of her funeral were friends of friends, the children of people she had impacted in. Our community. Leaders in our community, people knew who she was, even though she didn't have more than an eighth grade education, even though she wasn't a wealthy woman. She was a seamstress until the day she retired. She gave off this positive energy and this warmth and this invitation to others. There's really no other way to describe it other than she felt like home, more so than my own home ever felt to me as a kid, and that continued throughout my lifetime, no matter where I was in the world.

Speaker 1:

And so here I am giving this eulogy, looking out at this crowd standing room only in this very large church for my grandmother, who's in her 90s and has lived a very long life and realized. My grandmother got what she was. She put so much love out into the world. Despite her challenges, despite her heartbreak, despite all of the sadness and tragedy that had befallen her and the family. She continued to show up serving love and, as a result, she got back so much love, which then allowed for this flow and interchange. You know, I have many, many cousins, because there were a lot of kids in my family and my dad's family, and so everybody had large families and everybody says the same thing Everyone had a consistent experience of my grandmother, no matter where in the world they lived.

Speaker 1:

Some of them lived across the country, some of them lived out of the country. Whenever they came back home, the experience was consistent. Her level of authenticity and ability to show up as herself was bar none. And again, I don't think my grandmother ever knew these concepts the way I've studied these principles over the years to understand them better over the years, to understand them better. But she's been the greatest teacher I've ever had, because in that moment, in that church, I'm standing there realizing I left my home in search of how to become a woman of substance, how to become something more than what I thought I was to begin with. I definitely say my self-worth was tied to external validation.

Speaker 1:

In those days I was still chasing something so that I could maybe come back to myself and say I had arrived or I achieved it. And it was the most humbling of experiences that here I was, college educated, is that here I was college-educated, t-master's degrees, high up in the corporate ladder chain of command, and my grandmother, with an eighth grade education, a seamstress and destitute from a financial standpoint, was and is, in my mind, probably the most impactful woman I've ever met. She was a woman of influence. The thing that I was trying to achieve, that I had left the home to become my grandmother already was, and I didn't have the ability to see that when I was home. It took leaving, having my life experience and coming home for this funeral for my grandmother to teach me yet one more lesson.

Speaker 1:

And so that really was the beginning of me understanding that the way I was showing up in the world busy, stressed, a little chaotic, quite frankly, because I was running to catch a plane, or always going to the airport, or always running late to a meeting and it was what I was getting. I was putting out into the world a certain energy and vibration and, lo and behold, that is exactly what I was getting back. I was getting more of the same and more of the same and more of the same, and I kept wondering when is this going to turn? When is this going to have been enough? When will I have gone through this enough that I don't have to go through this anymore? And the answer to that is when I decide to show up differently in the world, because the world can only give you that which you resonate with.

Speaker 1:

So if you want a different experience than what you are currently having, it's really important to take stock in how you're showing up in the world. If you want to experience more love, you need to be loved. If you want to experience more peace in the world, you need to sow more peace in your world. If you want to experience more wealth and financial stability in your world, let me tell you, money flowing is the best way to do that. It's when we have this emotional charge to that resource that feels like it's scarce or I don't have enough, or there won't be enough that you get more of the scarcity there isn't enough anxious feeling that many of us have regarding money.

Speaker 1:

Breaking that cycle for me really took training my mind around the fact that it was never going to be different, no matter how much money was in my bank account, until I viewed it differently and I treated it differently and I felt differently about it. So, whatever the situation is that you are experiencing right now, I just want you to take a moment, get really quiet, take a deep breath, let it out, and I want you to think about how you're showing up today, what you're experiencing and what you prefer. What's the change that needs to happen? Because the change isn't in the conditions outside of you. The change that needs to happen first is an internal change. When you change internally, you change the vibration based on your emotional state and based on that, your energy is going to be different and you're going to connect with other experiences and people on that new vibration, on that new energetic flow, on that new vibration, on that new energetic flow. So again, I know our first inclination is to change the circumstances externally, and that's not to say that those don't need to change. But until you change what's happening internally, nothing is really going to change. You're going to take that energetic vibration or that place that you are in, that state that you are in, to whatever situation a new job, a new department, a new house, a new town, a new relationship. So it starts first with making that internal emotional shift and then bring that new shift to a new experience in a new department or a new job or a new relationship or a new house or what have you. So how can we learn to really master our emotional state of being and the energy, have more mastery over how we show up?

Speaker 1:

Again, I don't want anyone to think for a moment that I am suggesting suppressing your emotions for toxic positivity. That is not what I'm saying at all. I really want you to understand though. You do get to choose. You get to feel your feelings, acknowledge that emotion that you're feeling, go through it, and it might take you several hours. If you're stuck in a commute and there's a bit of road rage going on and you're frustrated, it might take a couple days. If it's a situation where there's been an argument and feelings have been hurt, it might take several weeks. If there's something bigger unfolding, either in the workplace or, you know, in a broader community, and it might take months when there's a loss. I'm not suggesting that you falsely push yourself to a state, a higher state of being or a higher frequency, and try to be there without genuinely being ready to be there.

Speaker 1:

What I am saying is, once you recognize where you are emotionally and you allow yourself to feel those feelings instead of trying to push them down, you will likely be able to process them more, because the idea is to feel it and release it. You don't want those particularly negative emotions to sit in your body for too long. Go for that walk, exercise, call the friend. Changing your physiology simply by moving can make a world of difference in your emotional state, as can reaching out to somebody for reinforcement or just a vent, but it's important that we feel our feelings. That said, your set point is a decision, barring any particular tragedy unfolding or mishap or frustrating experience. You get to choose what your set point is.

Speaker 1:

A lot of people show up anxiously or they're nervous Nellies, or they're constantly crabby and complaining, no matter what's going on on any given day. That's a decision. Same thing you get to decide how you want to show up on a regular basis. I hope that you'll choose the higher vibration. You'll think about this and most of you are here because you really understand the value of personal development. You're on that journey, you're doing that work, but you still probably have a ways to go. I mean, I think that that's the thing we all realize that personal development is not a destination. It really is a continuous state of being. We are on a journey and on a path of constant evolution.

Speaker 1:

So think about where you are and how can you improve your life and the life of those around you and the people that you impact, simply because of your presence. Like my grandmother, her mere presence and her community just raised the entire vibration of that community. People loved her like, truly loved her. This is the woman that baked for everybody's anniversary party and crocheted a baby blanket for everybody's newborn, showed up with a plant or flowers for everybody's housewarming. She knew everybody on her street. She walked with her dog every day until she couldn't do it anymore, saying hi to everybody, and that energy impacted other people. That is why, at the end of her life, while she probably was getting a big hoot out of it, it just really impacted those of us in the church. Realizing this woman, who did not have any more peers left, didn't have any siblings left, impacted so many people. The entire church was filled with people that wanted to just be there and show their respects for the impact she had on their lives.

Speaker 1:

So think about that when you think about how you have such an incredible influence on those around you, whether or not you see it, it might not even be something you're aware of in this moment, but there could be somebody you simply said hi to that needed it so badly in that day. And if you are in a place where you can be aware of your energy, be aware of your emotional state of being and be very intentional about how you show up on any given day and look for raising your set point to its highest possible vibration, this is what's going to raise the consciousness of everyone around you, because they're going to want to have more of whatever you're doing. They're going to want to be around you and, as a result, what you give out comes back to you. It's the law of resonance. When you're vibrating on this higher frequency of love and all the associated emotions, you're going to get more love back in all its variety of forms. So let's talk a little bit about tips for mastering our emotions and energy.

Speaker 1:

I think, first and foremost, it's being intentional. We need to be aware of the fact that we have a frequency we do have a vibration that we emanate on, and so what is our intention on a daily basis? One thing you could consider is, every morning, setting a clear intention to show up serving love, regardless of the challenges that may arise and I know for some of you you're going to say in the workplace this is hard, I'm going to challenge you on that. You don't need to be telling people you love them, but you can be feeling it in your heart and you can be radiating a level of emotional compassion to others that they're going to feel is palpable. Align your energy with love from the start of your day. And look, when I say love, I mean the full range of emotions that are rooted in love right Optimism, generosity, kindness, joy, happiness. It can go on and on Mindfulness and meditation.

Speaker 1:

Obviously it's an incredibly important practice. I know not everybody has the patience to sit with it, but I will tell you, five or 10 minutes staying centered, even particularly during turbulent times, will help you maintain a high frequency state or allow you to get back to a higher frequency state when you've been tested Some emotional regulation techniques. Obviously, breathing is incredibly important to our daily function, but breath work. I think many of you have heard of it. You don't have to overthink this. Deep cleansing breaths in are incredibly helpful to clearing the mind and the body of negative emotions or pent-up stress, anxiety, worry, fear-based emotions. If you want to participate in exercise or yoga or light stretching movement, anything that really will impact physiology will change your emotional state of being. Part of my emotional regulation is to understand when I need to walk away from whatever problem I'm solving for or task that I'm doing that may be a bit stressful, or maybe I feel blocked on something, and go for a walk. It's as simple as that. You don't have to overthink it. You don't have to be working out super hard for there to be emotional regulation benefits from it Energy cleansing practices.

Speaker 1:

I mean there are obviously a lot of modalities out there. Reiki is one of them and I think a lot of people have tried it to really just clear the negative energy and reinforce a positive environment. It's something you might want to research and look into. It's just one modality option out there. Hypnotherapy is another one to consider and think about. Again, the idea is to think about things that you can do on your own that are simple and easy to do, but also know that if you want to go deeper on any of these practices there is so much information out there and I'll connect some resources into this week's episode so you can take a look at that as well in the show notes to see if maybe hypnotherapy or Reiki or some of these other options may be something you want to look into.

Speaker 1:

And then, last but not least I talk about this a lot because I think it's incredibly important but journaling, reflective journaling, in particular, for not only getting your emotions out and acknowledging how you're feeling, but I'm a big, big advocate of writing down what you are grateful for in a state of it already having happened. So I'll share this with you. I'm big on saying I am grateful now that I am in a place of relaxed productivity. Things flow for me easily because I'm working from a place of soul and passion. I don't really have these moments where I'm stuck or too blocked, but when I do, I go back to journaling, I go back to going for a walk and breathing, to remind myself that I'm the block. I need to remove the blocks internally in me. So writing is not just how I'm feeling in the moment, but also acknowledging what I want to experience as if it's already happening. So the I am so grateful now that whatever I want to experience is happening in my life. I never write it now as a future tense, because then it's always something that's coming and not yet arrived. I talk about it as it's already a done deal and I'm experiencing it now and it brings that much easier to me.

Speaker 1:

My emotional state of being shifts much quicker as a result of recognizing how effective writing these things down are, whether it's goal setting or recalibrating your emotional state of being. So, in conclusion, I just want you to have in mind how much power you have over your own mental, emotional well-being and how you can choose how you show up on any given day. Really think about your emotional set point. If you were somebody who currently would be described as quite anxious on any given day, how do we shift to you being somebody who's more relaxed, walks confidently into the world and knows that everything's going to work out for the best in any given circumstance, so that you can be in receipt of that experience in your life?

Speaker 1:

This whole notion of living your extraordinary life is the notion of how do we get on the right frequency and vibration and resonance of that which we want to experience. Part of it is the path of authenticity recognizing who we are really being in connection with ourselves, checking in with ourselves about what we want, what we feel, our state of being, what we want to experience, and then also being true to our values and seeing where there may be disconnects in our daily lives in terms of what we want to experience and what our values are and actually what's happening. Because that's the path, that's the work. When we understand who we are deeply, when we're not showing up simply as a different version of ourselves to please others or to play a role, but we are deeply ourselves in all areas of our life, everywhere we are, everywhere we go, consistently, like my grandmother was, then you get to really see how this energetic management can impact your life for the better. Again, choosing this higher frequency emotional state of being based and rooted in love, you get to experience more joy every day. Even when you're under pressure, even in the face of challenges, even when you don't know how something's going to get done, that needs to get done, you still can call in this emotional state of being, of joy, which, I would argue, allows you to build up the grit the optimism and the hope needed to actually be in residence of an answer or a solution to the challenges that you're experiencing. So, again, this is really about understanding how we have so much influence on ourselves and those around us by simply learning more self-mastery and emotional regulation.

I will make sure that we have some additional resources in our show notes this week, because I know this is a deep one and this is not a conversation that's going to be a one and done. We're going to keep coming back to this because this is really where the work is one and done. We're going to keep coming back to this because this is really where the work is. This is how we show up in the world, and how we show up in the world really determines our reality. We show up in the world a certain way because of the thoughts that we have, because of the emotions that we allow ourselves to feel and to sit with, and as we start to become more masters of this and we can choose how we want to feel and choose how we show up from an energetic state of being, we get to choose our reality, which then impacts our future. You see how all this works right. So, in conclusion, I hope that you'll spend some time really thinking about this conversation in your own world and how you show up each and every day, and that you will look for ways to choose love, to choose that higher frequency. You'll spend some time. Go for a walk this weekend, spend a little time journaling or meditating 10 minutes, not asking for you to do anything more.

Small shifts my coaching program is called the two degree shift because two degrees is all it takes to turn an ice cube into a liquid form to change a state of being. Two degrees two degrees.
