Because what I’m about to show you will literally turn your personal stress around … so you take control and manage your emotions!!

Every successful person relies on a PROVEN SYSTEM to manage personal stress. Look around you and you’ll notice a proven system in action. From understanding your emotional brain to how it works to what actually happens to you, what you undergo when you experience stress.

It’s no wonder successful people can achieve and get so much done… Because they have a PROVEN SYSTEM! But unfortunately, not everyone in the world uses a PROVEN SYSTEM to survive personal stress. And now you can understand why people are suffering in their life dramas.

For a system to be PROVEN, it must generate results that are:

1) Predictable 2) Repeatable

1) Predictable 2) Repeatable

Before we end today’s lesson, I want to share with you two very important psychological concepts.

I call them the TWO IMMUTABLE LAWS OF EMOTION.

1st Immutable Law of Emotion – EXPRESS YOUR EMOTION.

In order to succeed emotionally, always remember that you need to EXPRESS YOUR EMOTION.

There are four ways you can express emotion.

1. Understand and effectively express how you feel about various issues; that is, in the right way, to the right degree and at the right time.

2. Effectively utilize and be confident in using non-verbal emotional cues, for example, body language and tone of voice, to communicate how you feel.

3. Create a better understanding about yourself amongst your family, friends, and colleagues.

4. Be genuine and trustworthy.

In other words, before you start applying your system to survive personal stress ask yourself how you can express yourself in one or more ways above.

2nd Immutable Law of Emotion – RECOGNIZE EMOTION.

There are many ways you can recognize emotion, but here are four.

1. In today’s stressful environment, your must be able to recognize emotion in yourself and in others.

2. Be open to emotions; be attentive to whether words, voice tone, and body language matches.

3. Become adept at picking up when people are saying something that differs from reality.

4. Use focal attention and pick up on the mood of a room or your environment.

The truth is, people BEHAVE, both passively and aggressively. They want to deal with their pain and joy – and will often blame out. So make sure you develop a unique ability to express and recognize emotion if you want to BEAT your life drama.

In my next article, I’ll share with you the primary step in my PROVEN Stress-Busting Success System that has helped thousands to survive personal stress.
