Where's Your Home Base!?


 



I told you that I would unpack some of my Tony Robbins UPW experience with you, so here's something else that Tony asked us at the conference:

Where is your Home Base emotionally?!

Yesterday we talked a little about Baseline, that is, having control of your emotional state...

Well, today I challenge you to consider where your typical emotional home base is?!

Where is your current baseline?

What emotions do you typically feel?

The exercise that Tony had us do was:

1) Make a list. What is your emotional pattern? What are the positive and negative emotions you feel at least once a week or every day?

2) Out of that list, circle your top two empowering and disempowering emotions.

Then he had us list one or two emotions, that if we lived through them everyday, how they might change our life for the better. 

He went on to explain that by controlling our emotional state we change our life and take things to the next level if we chose to.  

We continued to dive deep into our habits and the emotional state we often found ourselves in. 

We went on to dig into how we developed those emotions and what they meant to us. 

We didn't stop there though, we began uncovering how we could change them to fuel different, more favorable outcomes. 

THEN... We discovered how we can influence the emotional state of people other than ourselves.


Why Is This So Important?!

As I've said time and time again, if you can't control your own emotional state, you are going to have a difficult time applying any of your skills, no matter how good you are at them.

AND... 

We all have habits that we fall into and THAT is our Emotional Home Base.

Seeing that clearly will serve you well during conflict and quite simply in every area of your life.

Remember, if you don't have command over yourself, you can EASILY be manipulated!

This lesson has much more impact on protecting yourself and others than most want to put the time and work into. 

We get more into the specifics of how to use that during conflict in the PeaceWalker Evolution Course.

Are people from Crete Creteans??

Here I am in Crete. It is a pretty cool island. It is a bit more difficult getting around, but far from impossible. Most people speak at least a little english and I have gotten very good at asking (in Greek) if they speak english. I walked around about 15 miles today. Into town, around town, to all (and I do mean all) of their museums, archelogical sights, some cafe's and town squares. I really didn't even get lost today. Wow, I must be making some progress. I met a couple English people (yes, people from England silly) we hung out until about 1am or so and talked about politics, troubled youth, the difference between the FBI, CIA, and Secret Service (don't ask, if I told you I'd have to kill you:), body guards, ccw laws etc. It was kinda of funny, most of the museums that I went to today were under construction and had only one exhibit open. Geeze, you'd think that they would have at least discounted their entry price, but noooooooo! Oh well. I at least had a real

Attracting An Assault?!

  I thought I'd share something interesting about how criminals, predator's, thugs and bullies profile their victims.  Remember I told you the other day, that I was listening to one of Jocko Willink's podcasts?  He was talking about this subject and refenced some research old and newer.  ~ The 1982 study  Attracting Assault: Victims' Nonverbal Cues  by Grayson / Stein ~Marked by Mayhem -  Psychology Today by Hustmyre & Dixit, 1/1/09 Well, I revisited that research and something interesting stuck out like a fart in study hall. Something we talk about all the time at the academy and when I teach seminars and workshops.  Organization. As in being in Kamae. What?! You know being wholistically organized. Here's what Grayson and Stein had to say (paraphrased): The prime difference between perceived victim and non-victim groups revolves around "wholeness" or consistency of movement. Non-victims have an organized quality about their movements. They function co

What's Your Rosebud?

  One of my favorite classic movies is: "Citizen Kane" It starred Orson Welles. [NOTE: spoiler ahead - if you haven't seen it] And, was about the life and legacy of a powerful newspaper publisher, based partly on the late William Randolph Hearst. The movie starts with Charles Foster Kane dying, with his last word being "Rosebud" — and the entire movie is this sort of question of what "Rosebud" is. Turns out it was simply the trade name of a cheap little sled on which Kane was playing on the day he was taken away from his home and his mother as a child. Welles revealed in an interview: "In his subconscious it represented the simplicity, the comfort, above all the lack of responsibility in his home, and also it stood for his mother's love which Kane never lost." The point? We All Have Our Rosebud That thing, moment, or whatever it is that anchors, drives, guides, or inspires you.  For example, the late Johnny Carson and the book of magic tr
