LESSON #01: Understand Your Emotional Brain
Wednesday March 10th, 2010
In this first Emotional Wealth Secret we will look at what is the physical brain and how all information received by the brain forms our perceptions. Our appraisals cause the adrenalin arousals in our body which give rise to emotions felt in our body.
LESSON #02: Know Your Emotional Style
Wednesday March 10th, 2010
There are two emotional styles – avoidant and reactive. Regardless of your gender, you are more likely to display more of one style than the other. Read this Emotional Wealth Secret to find out which style explains your behavior.
LESSON #03: The Physiological Effects of Stress
Wednesday March 10th, 2010
The body manages well with an optimal level of stress. Adrenalin generated to the optimal level of stress is needed for alertness and clarity and for being on guard – fight or flight. For example, when your thoughts focus on pain perceived in the future, the resulting negative emotions of fear and anxiety could increase stress beyond the optimal level. This causes the body to produce adrenalin in excess of what the body needs. This emotional wealth secret helps us learn about what we do with excess adrenalin.
LESSON #04: The Anxious Personality
Wednesday March 10th, 2010
A person with an anxious personality experiences an overreaction to threatening stimuli in his or her environment, resulting in the body having a greater stress response than another person might have to the same event. The anxious person is less able to tolerate the normal uncertainties about the future and the “dangers” that may arise.
LESSON #05: Resolving Resentments – What Resolving Means
Wednesday March 10th, 2010
Resentment is a strong negative emotion that you experience when you remember or recall an incident from the past that caused an emotional pain at the time, which has never been resolved. Upon recalling the event, the body generates an emotion that can be described as anger or a feeling of being deeply upset. This emotion is a stress response. Emotional wealth secrets help us deal with our body’s stress response.
LESSON #06: Managing Conflict
Wednesday March 10th, 2010
Conflict occurs when you feel hurt (negative emotion) and you want to resolve the pain. It is no different to having a physical pain (cramp, headache, stubbing your toe) and wanting the pain to go away. Learn the emotional wealth secret to managing conflict.
