When A Feeling Is Intolerable/Part 8

We must be willing to identify the uncomfortable emotions that are fueling our habitual actions. 

When you feel an uncomfortable emotion, instead of avoiding, resisting, or numbing it, try this instead:

1.On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being REALLY INTOLERABLE, 4 or 5 being TOLERABLE, and 1 being BARELY NOTICEABLE, rate how the sensations FEEL in your body. 

2.Then, ask your body “Do you need… “

• rest?
• water?
• healthy food?
• movement?
• time to write down my thoughts?
• connection?
• something else?

3.Give your body what it needs. 

4.Then, rank the level of the emotion again. 

5.If it’s lower, ask yourself:

• “Is this tolerable?”
• If it is, you’ve felt your emotion all the way through. 

6.If it isn’t, repeat what you did or try something new until the level of the emotion is tolerable.

When it comes to podcasting, the best way to “tip the bartender” is by heading over to Apple Podcasts and leaving a 5-star review. This helps me imbibe other listeners with the secret sauce of emotional intelligence. And, make sure to “order another round”  by hitting SUBSCRIBE. 

 

If you’re thirsty for more than this daily shot and ready to intoxicate the hell out of your personal and professional life, I’d love to invite you to coach one-on-one with me.
