Ask And It Is Given – The Scale Of Emotions
Restored from the Empower Network archive (2011–2017), lightly edited to meet our current advertising standards. Views are the original author’s.
Have you ever seen those people that join you in business, super excited, just signed up their first team member and they couldn’t be more EXCITED!
Then the next week their field trainer quit, they got a few no’s and all of a sudden they are ready to quit!
…It actually happens a lot in the money-from-home industry.
I attribute it to one thing!
Like most people they have based their actions off emotion without having a basic understanding of the scale of emotions we all posess as human creatures.
That is why I loved the book that we decided to read in our Leaders are Readers group of Mind Masters.
Ask And It Is Given
written by Esther and Jerry Hicks.
Now before I share just one of the many significant learnings that this book brought me, let me start off by saying this was not one of the easiest books to read.
Many of us in the group found our personal prejudices being challenged. It took our accountability to each other to keep me on track. That and this video, which, when posted by group member Valarie Johnson, gave us the privilege of seeing the author in action.
This video allowed my to “get out of my own way” and, boy, am I ever glad I did.
After writing pages and pages of notes based on the insights I received and the “dots” that it connected in my life I thought I would share today one of the key concepts I took away
The Scale Of Emotions
It is often said that “people buy on emotions but they justify on ‘logic’”. So an understanding of the gradiations of our emotions can serve to help people overcome this emotional roller coaster and remain true to their professional development.
Moving from the highest ‘postive’ level on the scale to the lowest ‘negative’ the emotions were enumerated as follows:
#1 – Joy / Knowledge / Empowerment / Freedom / Love / Appreciation
#2 – Passion
#3 – Enthusiasm / Eagerness / Happiness
#4 – Positive Expectation / Belief
#5 – Optimism
#6 – Hopefulness
#7 – Contentment
#8 – Boredom
#9 – Pessimism
#10 – Frustration / Irritation / Impatience
#11 – Overwhelmment
#12 – Disappointment
#13 – Doubt
#14 – Worry
#15 – Blame
#16 – Discouragement
#17 – Anger
#18 – Revenge
#19 – Hatred / Rage
#20 – Jealousy
#21 – Insecurity / Guilt / Unworthiness
#22 – Fear / Grief / Depression / Despair / Powerlessness
Do you recognize having gone through any of these emotions on your journey to success?
If success has eluded you to date, are you stuck at any particular level?
Do you think you could better help people on your team is you had this frame of reference to communicate with them?
I could stop there, but it got better…
In the book they covered specific processes, gave specific tools, that we could all implement to “raise our game”.
To move us to a higher level.
Imagine being able to live all your personal, business, physical and spiritual life in a level one emotional state.
Pretty cool, eh!
So by way of example, let me introduce one of the processes from which I benefitted IMMEDIATELY I implemented it…
The Place Mat Process
This process is intended to be used when you recognize that you are at an emotional level between 2 and 11.
Imagine that – a process that is designed to make the good (6 or above) better. Where was that course when I needed it…
Simply put, this process involves taking a large place mat and drawing a line down the center.
That done – write on the left side the heading “THINGS I WILL DO TODAY”
Then write on the right side “THINGS I WOULD LIKE THE UNIVERSE TO DO”
Take out your long “TO DO” / GRASSCATCHER LIST
On the right hand side –
write ONLY the things YOU REALLY WANT AND INTEND TO DO…
Enter all the other tasks on the Universe side…
Can you see how you can soon be living a life of purposeful intent?
Can you see how as that happens your life will be richer, fuller?
And I have only scratched the surface…
I know it is a “tough read” but I recommend you check out
