The Black Sheep Of Our Emotions

UPCOMING BREAKFAST SEMINAR

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE - The Art Of Letting Go

If you are currently struggling to let go of prolonged anger or emotional pain, and you find yourself, at times, being consumed by your pain or anger, this seminar is a must attend.  You'll be guided through practical steps that will help you release prolonged anger and emotional pain that are negatively affecting your productivity.  You'll also be equipped to better deal with future irritations, before they grow into an emotional mountain.

Often times when we struggle with an inability to let go, and are still looking for answers to the question: "Why me?", it is difficult to comprehend that it is indeed in our best interest to let go.  By entertaining this "why me"- ritual, again and again, we are in fact hurting ourselves more than anyone ever has or ever could.

But how do we come to fully understand this when we are still sitting with that lump in our throat, because of the emotional pain?  How do we fully understand when we are still selfishly clinging onto prolonged anger, to our "right" to get revenge?  How do we get to understand when all that we are aware of, is the hurt, humiliation or the horribly unfair treatment responsible for our predicament?

Is this not the question we all want an answer to, the question that we have all asked ourselves at some stage; a valuable question when it comes to matters of growth - personal or in business:

How? 
How do I do it?

Before answering this question, it is important to see why making a change is necessary.  It is important to be aware of the negative consequences of NOT changing, and then to create that desire to want to change.  This can only happen when we realise that we deserve a better life that is emotionally more productive.  This can only happen when we believe that we deserve to be free from crippling emotional pain and negative prolonged anger.  And this can happen when we are set free from fantasies of revenge.  Do you love yourself enough to try and let go?

Why holding on is not good

To clarify the above statement, I'll share one of my activities with you.  I call it The Sponge Effect Technique. 

If you can, I would like for you to physically do this activity.   Take a sponge, not bigger than the size of your hand, put it in your palm.  Close your hand into a fist.  Now squeeze, as if to demonstrate how angry you are as a result of a particular issue; or as to demonstrate the level of your emotional pain.  Hold this grip for about ten seconds.  Now release.

What do you see?



Perhaps a few white and pink or red patches in your palm?  Perhaps you queezed so hard that you can see imprints of the round edges of some of your fingernails.  How does your hand feel?  Perhaps a little achy?

What else do you see?

AHA - The sponge jumped right back to it's original form. 

You were unable to affect the shape of the sponge, regardless of the amount of pressure you applied.  This is exactly what happens when we hold onto prolonged anger and toy around with feelings of revenge.  This is what happens when we are unable to let go of emotional pain.  WE are the only ones to be affected, we are the only ones who suffer.  We are hurting ourselves more and for a longer period of time.  Remember the white and pink / red patches, the imprints of your fingernails and the possible achy hand?

(The sponge represents the person, group, system, etc. that you feel are responsible for your anger or emotional pain)



There is no need to continue hurting yourself.  You too can learn to let go and positively move forward.  You too can "turn your pain into something powerful", something that will contribute to the greater good of humanity.  This may not make sense when we are still in pain, but the good news is that it eventually does when we commit to our journey towards healing.

Empathic guidance by Andeline Williams-Pretorius, comprehensive notes, a scrumptious breakfast.
Please note:To let go of emotional pain or prolonged anger, is not something that happens in the blink of an eye.  It takes time.  We are all different.  To be honest, it took me five years to let go of prolonged anger that affected my health.  One day I thought I was ready and felt comfortable to let go, while the next day I selfishly clung onto the anger.

By sharing my techniques with you, techniques that I discovered while I was in pain, as a result of the pain, your journey towards healing could be shortened.  I am available to answer futher questions that may arise after the seminar, because Your Wellness Is important to me.
