truth.
Self monitor. An inner resource. I tend to laugh at a well-timed ‘read the room’ comment. Read the room. A phrase that makes so much sense to some, and makes absolutely no sense to others. How does one ‘read’ a room? Is read the room same as know your audience? What does it mean? The […]

why.
What does the pure essence of enjoyment feel like? How does it show up in your mind space, heart space, belly space, muscles, skin? (ie. the nervous system response). Enjoyment lives in the state of equilibrium. This is a regulated state. This is natural. Enjoy yourself. It ripples. It trends.

so satisfying and life giving. Healthy emotional control contributes to healthy environments in schools, homes, and communities.

amuse.
As a social-emotional skill set, emotional control (often referred to as emotional regulation) is obviously a cornerstone of emotional freedom. Any desirable personal growth outcome is unable to sustain itself in the absence of emotional control. Emotional control is unavailable without awareness.

Living day in creative mode allows for continuous growth, as well as what feels like an abundance of choice and opportunity for new, more desirable outcomes. In this mode, one is tapped into inner resources. Inner resources are naturally abundant as they exist in the nonphysical state of energy flow – wellbeing.
