Speaker 1:

In this episode, I'm sharing with you how to master your emotions. Your emotions play a key role in the quality of your life, and when you learn how to master your emotions, you'll learn how to master your life. Hello and welcome to the James Grimes from Podcast Super Soul Model Series, where I help you tune yourself into your natural state of well-being. Today, I'm going to be talking about how to master your emotions. Your emotions play a key role in your overall state of health, because your emotional health is directly related to your overall health, and emotions mean energy in motion. So when your emotions are off-center, what's actually happening is you're getting a signal from your body telling you that what you're thinking and what you're focused on right now doesn't feel great, simple. And the same is when you do feel good. You get a signal from your body saying whatever you're focused on or how you're perceiving something right now is right on track. But what's happening behind the scenes, when you feel good or when you don't feel good, is that, on a cellular level, is that your cells are either thriving or they're decreasing in power of immunity, meaning your immune system is either increasing or it's decreasing, depending upon how good you're feeling. So, in short, the better you feel, the better your life gets. The better you feel, the healthier you become. It's really simple. My mission in this episode is to help empower you to begin to learn how to master your emotions. Now, this takes time, but it's doable, and if I can do it, you can do it. And when you begin to keep yourself in center more of the time, you're going to notice you feel better and you're going to be noticing that you feel a greater state of inner peace. You feel a greater sense of lightness. You tap into what I call this naturally high state of being. What you'll notice in life is that conditions aren't always favorable, just like the weather. The weather is always changing. Sometimes it's cloudy, sometimes it's stormy, sometimes it's rainy. But that doesn't mean just because the outer conditions are that way that you're inner conditioning has to be that way as well. Most people focus upon what they're looking at. Because what they're looking at, they just get a response, feedback which perpetuates that emotion. I'm here to help you interrupt that pattern, so you get to master how you feel, despite what's happening in the outer world, because when you master the inner world, you will also be influencing the outer world about what's happening and how you turn up and what you begin to attract and manifest in your life.

Speaker 1:

When you master your emotions, a few things are going to happen. You're going to feel lucky number one. You're going to feel like you can turn your life around when any challenge presents itself. You're going to feel a freedom and a personal power that you haven't felt before, and from time to time, you're going to feel invincible. What value is placed on feeling invincible from time to time? And it's based upon how you can focus and how you can see things beyond circumstances as they present themselves. Because when you manage your emotions, you're going to feel like you have a new superpower. You're going to feel high, you're going to feel wonderful, you're going to feel worthy, you're going to feel deserving and you're going to feel like this new superpower that you have to be able to manage your emotions is just the icing on the cake. So let's help you access that.

Speaker 1:

Other people are giving their full attention to what they're observing, meaning the conditions of their life. So it's easy to feel good when the conditions of your life are plain sailing, just like the ocean. When it's a dead calm out at sea, it's easy to sail with the wind and hoist yourselves up and have a lovely day out in the water, but when it's stormy and it's rough, there's this old adage which saying a skilled sailor never became skilled under calm seas. Now that is exactly the quote that will help empower you to learn how to master your emotions, because you'll never learn how to master your emotions when everything's plain sailing and super easy. You'll only learn how to master your emotions when things get challenging and things get a little difficult. Now, every one of you listening will have had adversity and may be experiencing adversity in some way right now. So why not put some of these ideas into practice, just to begin to show yourself how powerful you are and that just by changing the way you see something, you will change the way you feel.

Speaker 1:

And what's really important is when you change the way you feel, which may be a perception shift. Maybe. Taking a view from a cliff top over a busy city, it seems very peaceful up there, but if you're down in the city, it can feel very, very busy. It's a bit like when you're on a plane and you're traveling at 500 miles an hour on the runway. It's a rocky ride and you can't get up in your seat and move around freely. But when you get to a position of maybe 30,000 feet in the sky and traveling at 500 miles an hour, you can take your seat belt off and walk around freely. And the reason being is because there's less resistance. And so when we change our perspective, what we're actually doing is saying yes to mastering our emotions, and doesn't mean that circumstances have changed. It just means the way we see it, through our perspective, the way we feel, which changes what we begin to attract, which means we're stopping to push against life. We stop reacting, we stop knee jerk reacting, we stop resisting what's happening and we just start to allow. This is how we begin to master our emotions.

Speaker 1:

Now, when somebody or something is pushing against you, or when somebody or something is causing you a trigger, causing you to stress out, in that moment something is happening. In that moment you're causing a future version of yourself to experience an improved new condition. So it's basically like you're launching something from a low point in your life. Now that might mean, if you're experiencing somebody being unkind in your life, you want more kindness. If you're experiencing somebody who's been rude to you, you want to experience more harmony in your relationships. If you're experiencing a shortage of time or shortage of money means you want more time and you want more money. All of these stresses, all of these contrasting experiences are launching new desires from you on new preferences. Now, each time, we can get up to speed with that by changing our perspective and finding a place to experience within us a bit of super chill. Then we begin to master our emotions.

Speaker 1:

Now, when you first start out this, you're gonna fail and you're gonna get up and fail time and time again. But life has a wonderful way about helping you get up and trying again and again and again until you condition yourself to respond rather than react. Now, when we react, it means it's just a normal trigger response to traumas and pains that we've had previously. But when we respond, we're coming from a conscious perspective, meaning I'm gonna choose to see this Contrasting event as just a launching place for something better to come. Now this bit is the tricky bit.

Speaker 1:

Einstein said that the problem and the solution are on two different frequencies, and when you feel good, that's a high frequency, and when you feel low meaning stressed out that's a low frequency. So when a contrasting experience turns up in your life and you feeling challenged for one reason or another, in that moment you're just launching a new request to come into your experience, but not yet have you arrived at that high frequency to receive that new, improved experience. That takes conditioning and that takes learning how to master your mind, and that's what I want to show you. That's what I will reveal to you some strategies that you can begin to use today in your life experience. Because what's happening here in this life, in your mind and in your body, your body, is a wonderful feedback mechanism of your emotions and when you feel great, your body is gonna light up and skin amazing. But when you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, you feel anger, whatever those low emotions maybe feeling inside of your body, they're just responses to how you're focused upon, whatever you're focusing upon. So everything you're focused upon is giving you a feeling response and that feeling response creates a frequency which is attracting or repelling what you want.

Speaker 1:

Now, we're always going to be dancing with contrast. We're always going to be dancing between what I call being on and what I call being off in life. On meaning you're feeling great, that's green lights, and feeling off, the occasional red light. Now, we're never going to expand as human beings and know what we're capable of. Until we experience a few red lights, until we experience contrast, because it's the contrast in our life, some of those difficult moments, that adversity that actually propels us to a better future, that one day we'll walk into, into our present moment.

Speaker 1:

Present moment precent means you precent it from a position of being out of balance. I'll say that again. The present moment was pre sent to you by a version of yourself that launched a new request when you were having a difficult moment of adversity or contrast. So that's why the moments you're experiencing right now were pre sent to you by a frequency you sent a while ago that you're now experiencing, because everything you're experiencing, at some level of your being you created, which is why you're leaving it right now. So if you want a better future, which will eventually become your present moment or now moment, you need to get up to speed by mastering your emotions, so that your emotions are in a steady state, so that when you walk into the new present, pre-sent moment that you've launched a while back, feel good, and that's what I want to share with you.

Speaker 1:

So now, the key thing here Is that when something's negative in your life, that new desire will launch a request, as I mentioned, and when you've launched a request, you need to find harmony or acceptance from what's happening. Doesn't mean you have to like it, but it means that you got to accept what is and then do your best to find a better feeling state, because a better feeling state will allow your frequency to rise, to see more green lights. But if you keep talking about what's happening that you don't like, if you keep perpetuating the stories of the challenges that you've pre-sent your own self, then all you're doing is perpetuating that state of energy time and time again, and that might be low frequency. I know that because I did that for years, and it is only when I began to look at things differently that I started to get new experiences. So one of the first things I really recommend that if you find yourself caught in contrast more and more of the time, is you need to start to develop a few daily habits and rituals that will serve you to change your frequency, because when you change your frequency, you'll change what comes to you. When you change your frequency, you'll change what you attract. When you change your frequency, you change what comes to you. That's what Einstein was saying between the problem, the solution, being on two different frequencies.

Speaker 1:

When I first started out on my mission, one of my challenges that I had was that I was drinking heavily and my lifestyle was not conducive to a life of well being, wasn't conducive to a life of health, so much in so that I nearly killed myself once in a car crash. And then number two is, I was drinking so excessively and going out. The fellow and I just felt like if I do this again, something really bad is going to happen. So somehow, in some way, I asked for divine help, remember praying one night. I remember praying and saying Please, if there's another way to live life, I've got to know, because I can't continue to do what I'm doing, because I knew if I continue to behave like that, that would be the end of me, because I'd already had a close call with a car crash and I didn't want to have any more of these types of evenings out where I didn't know where I was, I didn't know who I was with.

Speaker 1:

I had to go through pains of feeling disconnection, feeling depression, feeling anxiety and just feeling a real shortage of life in certain areas like time and money. And it was only when I began to change my frequency, that things changed for me, and I really let that boil down to one Habit that changed everything, and that's meditation. So when I sat down and started to actually meditate twice a day, the simple thing was because I just sat down and followed my breath For twenty minutes twice a day with a timer on, and I put an airplane mask on to just cut out the light in my eyes, so I wasn't getting excess Activity going through the eyelids, because I knew that that would keep my mind active. I just allowed my mind to settle down and just after doing that, for a period of a couple of weeks, my body started to eliminate so many toxins, which meant that I felt I wasn't desiring to want to drink as much, wanting to go out as much. I I desired new things. I desired like going to the gym. I desired, felt, felt like I wanted to eat lighter foods, and when I meant desire, I meant I was gravitating towards healthier habits. That I didn't previously do, and it seems really alien but at the same time, so natural.

Speaker 1:

So whatever you're going through now, if you can just sit still and actually make time to sit still and follow your breath, really simply keep your back straight, go to a quiet room, shut the curtains, follow your breath. If you can follow your breath, fantastic. If you can't just have a silent mantral on and just sit there, what you'll notice is your mind will start to unravel all the chaotic thoughts that you've been having and your natural vibration, as your mind begins to silence, will rise, and as you do, you will rise in frequency and, as Einstein said, you'll rise to the frequency of solutions. So the solutions that started to come to me was I want to do this exercise program, I want to eat these types of foods. I don't want to do that and I don't want to hang with those people anymore. I need to be doing these types of things.

Speaker 1:

And I noticed just in a really short amount of time I was able to let go of so many things that the real key golden nugget that came from this was I understood the difference between a good emotion and a stressful or a bad emotion. And I didn't judge the emotion, I just noticed it for what it was and allowed it to be and thought if this is how I'm feeling, how could I feel better? So I acknowledged the emotion, allowed it to be, sat with it until I decided do you know what I want? To feel better about this. And then I felt my power. I felt my power and my ability to change the way I looked at something. I changed the way in my ability to see things as a gift rather than a curse. I chose to see things as, whenever they were difficult, as blessings in disguise or a learning curve or a lesson, rather than my God, that's a real bad thing that happened.

Speaker 1:

So look into experience. Whatever you're experiencing, can you start to see things from a different perspective? Because when you silence the mind, you raise your frequency and it's way easier to see things as blessings rather than curses, because your pain in the end will become your power. Your painful moments or your adverse moments will actually help propel you into a life where you'll be able to help other people because of the pain you've gone through and how you've managed to go through it and come out the other side. It's so funny that our pain and our adversity and the contrast is actually the teacher of our life. That kind of brings out our greatest superpower. So in my case, my superpower is being able to go from the depths of depression to being able to feel generally pretty happy most of the time but, more importantly, healthy, happy, well successful, blessed, worthy and deserving of all the things I want. And I get to see so many green lights in my life, so many moments of magic and miracles. The amount of times I get to see 1-1-1, 2-2-2, 3-3-3 is almost every single day, and I seem to get unexpected blessings every day because I'm being super appreciative of all the little things that are happening.

Speaker 1:

And you can too, and this is how you master your emotions. You master your emotions when you realize that you build upon a good feeling and try and add to it. You build upon moments of appreciation and try and add more moments of appreciation to it. You notice the things that are going right rather than the things that are going wrong. And you notice that when a challenge or a problem comes up, you've always got a way of saying I'll figure it out in some kind of way. And when you experience a low emotion, you acknowledge it and you go I just want to feel a little better. And when you start to feel a little better and you've got a bit of more desire, you've got a bit more energy in you, you could say I'd like to feel a little better than this and then you can start to write out your intentions of what you would like to have happen. Because the difference between people who really succeed in life and master their emotions because when you master emotions you enjoy life, but when you don't master your emotions, you're reactive to life and your life is up and down like a seesaw. How many people do you know whose lives are like a seesaw? And I'm guaranteeing you your life is a summation of the feelings that you feel. It's the summation of the string of moments that you have. So why not try to cultivate more good feeling moments by mastering your emotions? And you can do that by getting a meditation practice, and meditation practice in. For me, that saved my life.

Speaker 1:

Number two is also to be aware of how you feel, and if you don't feel great, just ask yourself what's bothering you and then go how could I see this situation differently? And you could ask yourself well, maybe there's a blessing in here and maybe that's enough. Maybe there's a blessing in disguise here that I'll figure out later and just maybe that thought alone is enough to make you see things differently, just for a moment. I know that when I've experienced challenge. I've always asked myself is there a lesson here? And if I don't know what it is, I'll be like I'll figure out what that lesson is. And I had a challenge yesterday, and when that challenge arrived itself, it was someone not showing up. I asked myself what lesson did I receive here?

Speaker 1:

It was like I don't need other people to make me happy. I am. I let them off the hook. I am the source of my happiness. I'm the source of my success. I'm the source of everything that comes to me, because I do that through my vibration. I do that from my attraction, I do that from the way I'm thinking. I do that with the way I'm feeling. I do that with the way I take care of my life, organize my life and take care of my body and my mind and my soul. And you can too. You are the source of all the good things that come to you in your life, no one else. So don't put anybody else on a pedestal. What you need to do is cultivate the understanding and cultivate the habits that remind you that you are the source of all good, and when you do that, you feel so free, you feel so blessed.

Speaker 1:

And when something happens to you. That isn't great, you'll know. I can turn that around by changing the way I focus upon this situation and sure you'll get the hit of the emotion that doesn't feel great. But when that's passed, what will happen is you can go away and look at the situation differently and you can see it as a blessing or a jumping off point for a future version or a pre-sent moment. That will be really satisfying. And yes, there'll be a gap in time. Yes, there'll be a buffer in time between what you want and what shows up. But you can do the work on yourself to feel better and see it as an opportunity rather than as a curse.

Speaker 1:

And the old version of me used to see everything as a curse, seeing it as all as a chore. Don't be that person. That's what I had to get out of. That was the suffering that I bound myself to, and when I look back I can laugh at it again, because I was the cause of all my suffering. I was always the person in the room that was experiencing the heartache, experiencing the challenge, experiencing the shortage, experiencing, you know, the lack of health, the lack of vitality, all the anxiety. That was all my doing, but when I realized I had the ability to get out ahead of it, meaning I had the ability to think differently. Then things shifted. And then it shifted because of the habits that I put in place and the way that I thought about things, because I never had the insight to think about things differently.

Speaker 1:

But that's what this episode is. It's. It's here to remind you that you can think differently, and when you think differently, you'll attract differently. And that is what I want you to take away as the main. Take away with this when you think differently, you'll attract differently. But, more importantly, as you think differently, you start to behave differently, and then, when you behave differently, you start to build a different character and that becomes your life and this becomes your identity. That this is the way you behave, and I'll never forget when I walked into a room once with a bunch of people who were stressed out. They said, oh, I'm so glad you're here. I was like, oh, thanks. And they said, oh, you make us feel so calm.

Speaker 1:

And that was one of the greatest, greatest moments of my adult life, because I had actually Been working on that for so long that I wanted to be calm and steady Even when life was not giving me Circumstances like that. I wanted to be that skilled sailor on rough seas, and I want you to be the skilled sailor in Rough seas so you can remind yourself that you're powerful and you can still hoist your sails on difficult days and still get back to shore safely Because of some tools that you can have. So here are some of my tools that I have used Through really difficult challenges to master my emotions and get back to my center again. And then, when I see that I'm in my center again, I was like, well, that was easy, but it sure didn't feel like that when I was going through the difficult experience. So what I want you to do is definitely Think about taking up a meditation practice, because having a meditation practice you know as little as 15, 20 minutes in the morning Before you get going will re-circuit your emotions.

Speaker 1:

It's almost as if you're going to expand time and expand productivity because you've quietened the mind. Because when you quiet the mind which is far easier to do first thing in the morning what you're actually doing is Setting yourself up for more green lights. You know the amount of time that I've been rushing to get to go somewhere. And I was like, if I don't meditate, if I don't leave now, I'm in real trouble, but if I don't meditate I'm going to be rushing anyway. So sometimes I do really short meditation Just to be able to expand time for myself, because when I'm not pushing against Outer circumstances and I begin to allow, it's almost as if time expands for me the amount of times that you know I've meditated and perhaps I shouldn't have been meditating because you know you've got to leave now, but I've just given myself a short meditation, quiet the mind, or gone for a little walk around the garden. Just two minute walk.

Speaker 1:

I get an idea and that idea just transcends all the difficulties I've just been experiencing for the last half an hour an hour. Give yourself time to relax your mind. When you relax your mind you enter that super chill and that super chill state of mind just becomes your Natural reset that you go back to. It's like a, it's like a touchstone that you want to go back to time and time again. That will serve you and help you master your emotions.

Speaker 1:

Also, ask yourself when you're feeling a difficult emotion, how am I feeling? And then ask yourself what's caused that, what's bothering me? And, instead of type, trying to go into the depth or the root and try to undo the root. Just go. I want to feel better, I want to feel good and I want to find a thought right now that feels better. Now, that might take about 20 to 30 seconds before you find a thought that feels better, but one of the things I love to do is interrupt that with a little question, which is what if everything's going to be okay? What if this is going to work out?

Speaker 1:

And maybe I don't say that vocally, but I'm sure, thinking it and when things have been difficult, I've often asked Despite this, why am I so blessed? And when I came up against that challenge yesterday that I was mentioning earlier about someone not showing up, what I thought to myself is I'm still winning. I'm still winning. I'm still doing really, really well. I've still got so many things that I'm so thankful for that are going amazingly well for me, and just this one person not showing up doesn't need to have my Undivided attention for me to feel on a downer for a moment. So you've got to put these things into perspective, and when you put things into perspective, you'll realize that you are free free of outer conditions that don't feel great.

Speaker 1:

Another thing that's super important is to feel thankful for what is working. You know, like when I said I'm still winning, I'm still got so many things that are going well, you're coming from a position of fullness. And a position of fullness will never attract any lack, will never attract any low frequency, it will never attract any low vibe. So the more you can condition yourself to feel appreciation for what is working and let that be your natural go to Point throughout every single day. You know, notice how many blessings you've got going on, count your blessings. I mean, when you count your blessings you're just going to notice you've got more. And so the more you count what's going right With, the more you can remind yourself at the end of every day with a little appreciation Of what's worked out really well for you. That day the mind just starts to allow that to compound like a wonderful interest account when you just putting more and more money, you're putting in more and more good-feeling thoughts and that just compounds over time. Another thing that I love to do is Envision things working out now.

Speaker 1:

A visionary will thrive in all times, where, as somebody who's just observing out of circumstances as they are and talking about them and repeating them Will never thrive. It will only thrive when it's good. That person won't thrive in difficult times, because there are people who are always thriving in different times, when the markets really high or when the markets, you know, in recession. There are people thriving in markets when there's recession, but they're also people thriving. Most people are thriving when things are going really well. But you want to be able to thrive in both ways. You want to be able to thrive when the seas come or when the markets game really well, and you also want to thrive when the market isn't going well because you've got emotional stability.

Speaker 1:

Because I'll never forget a guy I came across at dinner. He'd gone into a real estate deal and he said I lost one and a half million on a property deal and I literally lost all that money. But that was the greatest lesson that I ever learned, because it took me about five years to come back from that heavy loss. But within it, cloaked in that experience, was a lesson I'll never forget and I've made that money back and then some. So whatever challenge you're experiencing right now, whatever adversity, see it as a lesson, cloaked in disguise, that will offer you a new superpower. Because as soon as you go through really difficult moments and hardships and adversity through. That is a silver lining. I would even say as much as a gold lining, because I'm here teaching you how I came back from some really difficult moments, perhaps where my life was going to be ended some many years ago. And since then, yeah, there's still been challenges, but nothing like how serious it felt before.

Speaker 1:

And when things have been difficult, I still go back to these strategies, I still go back to these tools. I still go back to writing out how I want things to be, how I want things to go, envisioning that things have already worked out and looking back on them as if my eyes are seeing them as if it had already worked out. I'm a firm believer in scripting your life as if it's already happened and I read my scripts regularly just to be able to remind myself how well things have gone, as if it's the future version of myself, looking back to go how well did that go? And I've been amazed, amazed, to see what things have transpired as a result of that scripting process or envisioning, just for my own meditation or just reminding myself well, what if this works out? What if this works out? You know, I spent five, 10 minutes a day writing out what ifs, with a positive slant at the end of it.

Speaker 1:

Try it Notice how many amazing things begin to unfold because you condition your mind to see possibility rather than pain, contrast and adversity. This is how you master your emotions, and when you have the strength to an ability to accept what is happening, not push against it, but yet still play that what if something great happens? What if something good happens out of this? Then you become really free. You become free of the resistance that holds you down and keeps you in a negative loop of lunacy or a negative spiral. That's what I did when I was in depression. I started to try and think differently, try and take new actions, and when I did that, I noticed life got so much easier. My road and my path became so much smoother and I've just became way more optimistic. It was so easy to be optimistic when you are quietening the mind, you're taking care of the body, you're taking care of what you're feeding yourself, you're being mindful of your environment. All of these things will empower you to help you master your emotions.

Speaker 1:

And when you do experience a low emotion, no big deal, because you can go back to some of these tools and strategies time and time again. And when things are really tricky, just ask yourself what are the situations? Something great is going to happen. The amount of times I've looked and gone. How can I turn this negative into a positive? And within about two, three minutes, something just clicks within me and I've just gone. Wow, I just picked up a wonderful new client just because of that. And or I've received a new idea to write some content or whatever. Ask yourself, how can I turn this negative into a positive? And what if there's a blessing in disguise here?

Speaker 1:

The more you ask questions that empower you, the further you're going to enhance your ability to master your emotions and you won't mind what happens, because you're just going to be bobbing along one day and feel great and opportunities will come to you. Opportunities come to you or luck comes to you as a result of your ability to keep your emotions in a good feeling, calm, steady state. When things are going right, be calm. When things are going difficult, be calm. So whatever, just get to this natural set point where you feel calm, whatever's going on, and when you do that, you empower yourself. You'll feel great. You'll be able to uplift the room when you walk into it, you'll be able to change the vibe of the room. You'll be keeping yourself healthy, your immune system will stay healthy and strong, you'll be guided to and inspired to certain foods and exercises that will keep you well. You'll look younger, you'll put less stress on the body, all because of your ability to master your emotions. And when you're doing that, you're going to be so happy with the way your life is unfolding and let your life be a magical mystery tour of happiness, because you're in that state more of the time than not.

Speaker 1:

There is something to be said about mastering your emotions, and we're not taught it in school because people haven't yet mastered it fully, and so it's only when you've managed to go through adversity and come out the other side and realize their blessing in disguise. There is power from pain, there's possibility that comes out, the result of your own adversity that you'll feel free and you'll feel an inner peace. You'll feel happy and you'll think you know what. Whatever happens, whatever challenges happen, I'm going to figure it out, and that is a very liberating place to live, and if you can do that, anything is possible and you're going to feel invincible.

Speaker 1:

So I've given you a few takeaways for this episode. I hope it inspired you and if it has, that's amazing, because you only need one thing to take away from this show or this episode to help you put into practice today. And maybe it's a meditation, maybe it's asking better what if questions? Maybe it's to go what am I feeling? What's bothering me? What could I do about it? And if I can do something about it, I'll do it. But if I can't do anything about it, then there's no point worrying. You just have to let it be and accept it for what it is, because when you accept what is, you'll move beyond. But when you push against what is, when you push against what you don't like, it just gets bigger. So the choice is always yours and when you master your emotions, you'll master your life.
