“How to take charge of your emotions”

Did you know that you have three parts to your brain? There is brain #1 that is in charge of your reflexes and instincts, brain #2 that is in charge of making appropriate decisions and actions, and brain #3 that is in charge of your being able to understand the consequences of your decisions before you act upon them. These three brain parts must work together if you are to function in a balanced way. When these parts are not balanced you can be reactive, unaware or uncaring of consequences, unmanaged or disconnected emotions, worrying, anxious and fearful, overanalyze, and poor communication with ourselves and others.

In order to have an effective life with our mental-emotional-physical health, in our relationships, our careers and our community, we need to have a healthy balance between the emotional and logical centers of our brain.

The brain holds emotional memories from the past, remembering a variety of sights, smells, tastes, sounds and other experiences. These memories can be triggered by events in the present. When this happens you react, feeling a variety of feelings like: nervousness, worry, anxiety, frustration, anger or other emotions that are similar to the stored memory. When these various emotions from the past are triggered, your body releases stress hormones; this affects your perception of a present situation, causing you to react emotionally and chemically as if it were happening again – even if it isn’t.

Your emotional memories affect your perceptions which affect your present emotions, and this can cause you to think in a limited or fearful way about present situations. Because of this, you are at risk of being misjudging people and circumstances and projecting the past onto the present and future.

Your emotions affect your nervous system. Negative emotions can cause your heart to move in irregular rhythms causing you to have difficulty to think straight and make healthy decisions and actions. Your brain and heart are connected through the nervous system. You have a central nervous system and an autonomic nervous system. The later is very important as it controls all your functions at the subconscious level; it also controls your emotions and acts as a connector for the brain, heart and body.

When you are angry your sympathetic nervous system increases and your parasympathetic nervous system decreases; this interferes with the normal function of these systems and they become out of balance with one another, stressing the body. This can cause you to have difficulty with: thinking clearly, decision-making, communication, body coordination, suppressed immune system, respiratory problems, colds/flu, high blood pressure, heart disease, and possible heart attacks in the future.

The positive emotions of love, nurturance, kindness, compassion, and appreciation send different signals through the body allowing the nervous system to be balanced, and therefore the body and all of its functions becomes more balanced. When this occurs you have effective problem-solving, decision-making, effective performance, clearer and creative thinking processes, an enhanced immune system and hormonal balance and a generally healthier and happier life experience.

There is a brain and heart connection in your body that sends messages back and forth through your nervous system. These messages or signals affect how you feel, perceive things and then respond to them. The first recognition of something is experienced in your heart and then the heart sends a message to your brain about what is perceived where it is then processed as a certain type of feeling or experience.

Your heart affects your ability to think clearly by either giving you feedback in the form of balanced heart rhythms that gives you the ability to think clearly, problem-solve and make decisions effectively, have more coordinated and faster reflexes. The unbalanced heart rhythms give you a slower mind, poor memory and focus, difficulty hearing what is being said (taking in new information, understanding, and negatively affecting learning), and causes your body to have less energy and slower reflexes that negatively affect your performance.

You can learn to be in control of your emotions and delete the emotional memories from the past that can so easily be triggered by present day events. You can manage everyday situations, annoyances, anxieties, depression, and frustrations – by learning to take charge of your emotions and filling up your emotional bank account and reenergizing your nervous system. Start to reduce and delete these emotional memories that keep you back from being in balance in your body, mind, emotions, relationships, career, and all areas of your life. Learn how to create greater happiness and emotional balance as well as how you can balance the three centers of your brain and your nervous system while deleting old emotional programs.

How you can easily transform any negative program to a positive one!

To help you delete negative conditioning, experiences, thoughts, beliefs, expectations, and behaviors, it is important to be in a very relaxed state, while listening to positive statements that are specifically set up to be easily taken in by your subconscious mind over a period of time. When the conscious mind is more relaxed or going into a less conscious state, there is less resistance to a new and healthier program that may not be what the conscious mind is use to thinking or believing. As the subconscious mind takes in the new and healthier program, it saves this new information until it eventually is accepted. Over time the conscious mind also accepts this new and healthier program, and healthier set of beliefs, thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

The Self Empowerment Every Day: SEED Program has been designed to help you create this inner and outer healthy program. Many people like to listen to it as they go to sleep every night, and find that they have a deep sleep and awaken refreshed, alert, and calmer in the morning. They find that throughout their day they are less reactive and more calmly responding to the events in their day. People find that they are making healthier choices, setting healthier goals and achieving them.
