https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B01J82IYLW/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=mar123-21&camp=3638&creative=24630&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B01J82IYLW&linkId=c3ad7a117beae902fd3525eeb92ecd8a 2. FEAR. Fearful emotions include everything from low levels of concern and apprehension to intense worry, anxiety, fright, and even terror. Fear serves a purpose, and its message is simple. The Message : Fear is simply the anticipation that something that's going to happen soon needs to be prepared for. We need either to prepare to cope with the situation, or to do sommething to change it. The traedy is that most people either try to deny their fear, or they wallow in it. Neither of these approaches is respecting the message that fear is trying to deliver, so it will continue to pursue you as it tries to get its message across. You don't want to surrender to fear and amplify it by starting to think of the worst that could happen, nor do you want to pretend it...

The ten action Signals - Inadequacy

8. INADEQUACY.  The feeling of unworthiness occurs anytime we feel we can't do something we should be able to do. The challenge, of course, is that often we have a completely unfair rule for determining whether we're inadequate or not. First understand the message inadequacy is giving you. The Message :  The message is that you don't presently have a level of skill necessary for the task at hand. It's telling you that you need more information, understanding, strategies, tools or confidence. The Solution :  1) Simply ask yourself, "Is this really an appropriate emotion for me to feel in this situation? Am I really inadequate, or do I have to change the way I'm perceiving things?"   If your feeling is justified, the message of inadequacy is that you need to find a way to do something better than you've done it before. The solution in this case is also obvious: 2) Whenever you feel inadequate, appreciate the encouragement to improve...

Guilt

7.   GUILT.  The emotions of guilt, regret and remorse are among the emotions human beings do most to avoid in life, and this is valuable. They are painful emotions for us to experience, but they, too, serve a valuable function, one which becomes apparent once we hear the message. The Message :  Guilt tells you that you have violated one of your own highest standards, and that you must do something immediately to ensure that you're not going to violate that standard again in the future. If you recall, in earlier articles I said that leverage is accessed when someone begins to link pain to something. With enough pain linked to a behavior, that person will eventually change it, and the strongest leverage is the pain we can give ourselves. Guilt is the ultimate leverage for many people in changing a behavior However, some people try to deal with their guilt by denying and suppressing it. Unfortunately, this rarely works. Guilt does not go away; it only comes bac...

Ten Action signals - Disappointment

6. DISAPPOINTMENT. Disappointment can be a very destructive emotion if you don't deal with it quickly. Disappointmeent is the devastating feeling of being "let down" or that you're going to miss out on something forever. Anything that makes you feel sad or defeated as a result of expecting more than you get is disappointing.  The Message: The message disappointment offers you is that an expectation you have had - a goal you were really going for - is probably not going to happen so it's time to change your expectations to make them more appropriate for this situation and take action to set and achieve a new goal immediately. And that is the solution. The Solution: 1) Immediately figure out something you can learn from this situation that could help you in the future to achieve the very thing you were after in the first place. 2)Set a new goal, something that will be even more inspiring, and something you can make immediate progress toward. 3) Rea...
