So today I wanna talk to you about emotional mastery. This is different than EQ emotional intelligence in psychology. This is coming from a metaphysical standpoint, so I will never forget. Um, when I was back in the day, an emotional disaster, let's just get it straight. Um, I would be up and down. I would blame, shame and play the guilt game. I would only do things when I felt like it. So it was another emotions ran my life. I was the effect of my emotions and I hit my low. Um, most of you guys know my story. I was very codependent and ended up being in a very dysfunctional relationship with, um, someone of a famous Grammy winning musician. And I am so thankful for him today. I am so grateful for the universe, sending me the perfect masterclass to develop myself, to, um, get to the place where I was able to understand that I needed to master my emotions. (01:56): So what happened in that relationship and that masterclass was I was emotional disaster. Um, what was happening in that relationship was, you know, lies, cheating, all kinds of stuff, falling off the wagon, all kinds of things. And I was pointing my finger. I'm the victim of this addict. I'm the victim of this narcissist, I'm the victim of all this stuff. And, and I had a great teacher that was brought to me as you guys know as well. He was, um, an like a grandfather to me, a met physician and would teach me universal laws. And we'd have these deep, amazing, profound conversations and channel and do all kinds of amazing things. And I came to realize what it meant to master my emotions. So first we have to understand how emotions are created and it's very simple. We are meaning making machines. So the moment that we place a positive or negative meaning on something, we instantaneously have a positive or negative negative emotion. (03:09): We recognize that beliefs equal feelings, sorry, emotions equals thoughts, equals feelings, equal emotions equals the circumstances of our life. I'll say that again. Beliefs equal thoughts, thoughts, equal feeling feelings, equal emotions, emotions equal the circumstances of our lives. So we place meaning on things, contingent upon what we truly, what our programming, our beliefs, what we believe, what is good or bad, right? So emotions are the effect of our beliefs. So what was happening over and over in that relationship is I would, you know, put the meaning that cheating is bad and awful and instantaneously, I would have these huge emotions, right? So this isn't about like trying to master my emotions. You know, it wasn't about me mastering that my emotions. So I would be emotionless and be okay with somebody cheating, but it was first recognizing that I needed to take responsibility because whether I was going to be able to stay in that relationship or whether I was going to be able to get outta that relationship or whatever the point is is that I had to find peace. (04:33): I was literally killing myself with my negative emotions. I was ruining my life and I had to take a hundred percent responsibility around my emotions. And so, as I work with, you know, thousands of entrepreneurs and all types of people, I do have some high ed, one oh ones, which I rarely take anymore. Um, but it is, it is the primary work that we do is to release the limited beliefs, release that trauma, and also take responsibility for their lives, which means they have to really recognize the cause of their emotions. You are not your emotions. You are the creator of your emotions. You can never be the effect of your emotions. You can pretend like the effect pretending to be the victim of the narcissist, pretending to be all these things. But the reality is that you're not just the individual. You are the collective and you're the cosmic you've created the entire universe. And that is the truth. So today I invite us to take a look at what it means to take responsibility around your emotions, whether you are having stress because of what's going on in the world, whether you are in a dysfunctional relationship, whether you are frustrated because you can't get your business to launch at the level you wanted to get to launch to, or whether you're in apathy and you just really are hopeless. And maybe you even have thoughts of, you know, why are we even, what's the point of life. (06:09): So I wanna first disclose that if you are having really intense emotions, I would advise you to seek professional help. Okay? Because sometimes we go so far down the track of creating emotions that they are habits and deeply ingrained through trauma and through all kinds of things. And so this is not about trauma right now. This is about a kind of surface level of emotions. And being able to recognize how you are the creator of your emotions. Okay? So let's get this straight. So emotional intelligence, I think the first part is to really decide and really wake up. As we, as I teach in the awakening book is the step one is to wake up and to decide and realize what your, what emotions you're having in your life and taking responsibility for them. So an example would be I'm somebody who is experiencing the emotion of feeling frustrated. (07:05): I'm somebody who's experiencing the emotion of fear of what's happening in the world. I'm somebody who is, uh, experiencing the emotion of apathy, right? I believe that nothing matters anymore. I'm hopeless, right? I am somebody who is experiencing the emotion of being pissed off. Okay. So then we back it up. So where let's break down each emotion and kind of look at how is this created, right? So emotions are the expression of our value system being met or not met. Right? And our value system is based off of our beliefs. What we believe in the programming of what's right and wrong and what we value. So emotions are the expressions of our value system being met or not met. So for me, in that relationship, my values were not being met, what I thought and what I needed was not being met. So of course I would be emotional, right? (08:01): We call it living our truth. Are you living your truth or not living your truth? And if you're not living your truth and you're gonna get emotional in a negative way, and if you are living your truth, you're gonna get emotional in a beautiful enjoyful way. Right? So emotions are the expressions of our value system being met or not met emotions are the effect of us believing that something we value is arriving to parting or present. You guys get that. So what happens is you put a meaning on what does or does not happen. And then you experience that emotion. And oftentimes we look to the world like this caused my emotion. This person caused my emotion. The pandemic caused my emotion. The loss of my career caused my emotion. But the reality is that it's not the truth. The truth is that it's the meaning that you put around whatever happened or did not happen. (08:57): And then you were the effect of that emotion. There's people that would lose their job. That would be like, oh my gosh, this is so great because I hated that job anyway. And now it's gonna demand me to, to pivot and to innovate and create something new. Right? They might have an amazing emotion. Two people could have lose their job. And one person could have total devastation, apathy, grief, fear, um, sadness, all the above. The next person could have that exact same thing and lose their job. And they could be thrilled and excited and, and motivated and all the above. Right? So it really comes down to your value system, your perception, which comes down to your beliefs, comes down to your beliefs. Okay? Who do you be? And what do you live? What's your identity. Those are your beliefs. Okay. So emotions. So let's break this down. (09:45): So let's look, take a look at fear. Fear is the emotion. It's the belief, sorry. The emotion of fear is the belief that something we value might go away. We fear, right? It's like the unknown, oh my gosh, what's gonna happen. It might, maybe the future is going away for the country. The, the future of my job might be going away. Uh, whatever it is, right? So the emotion of fear is the belief that something we value might go away. Grief. What is grief? The emotion of grief is the belief that something, something we value is gone. (10:25): I'm grieving that relationship that went away. I'm grieving my grandmother that passed away. I'm grieving the old days where we could go out and go anywhere without masks on. Right. Grieving, apathy. What is apathy? The emotion of apathy is a belief that nothing is valuable. What does it matter? Anyway, you kick the can. I'm just, I don't even, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I can't create what I want anyway. So it's just, there's no point totally apathetic, right? The emotion of apathy is a belief that nothing is valuable frustration. What is frustration? The emotion of frustration is the belief that someone or something is getting in the way of what we value. Oh, I'm so mad right now. This internet thing I want, I'm trying to get this done. And it's so hard, right? That's frustration. The emotion of frustration is the belief that someone or something is getting in the way of what we value. (11:26): So again, we have to recognize that you're not your emotions. You're the creator of them. Emotions are the effect of the meaning. We place on people, places and things. Emotions are the effect of what we think should or should not happen based on our value system. So I invite you, I invite you to begin to just become aware, right? So the first step in awakening is waking up is becoming aware. It's, it's, it's deciding that you are going to take responsibility for your emotions. Okay. Step number two is, is deprogramming. It's it's reprogramming your subconscious mind, right? So you can take a look at your emotions and say, am I having emot
