Check your emotional thermometer

ü Anger is one letter short of danger.

ü Who have you given your power and peace away to?

ü Are you feeling sick and tired of being sick and tired?

ü Check your reflexes and responses to change or conflict.

ü Do you have the relationship blues? "Relationships Clinic"

ü Your boredom is in your own hands, or rather in your own brain.

ü You must keep generating new experiences and challenges for yourself,

and learn to look at old things with new eyes.

Your brain needs just the same workout as your body does.

ü Are you becoming cold, indifferent, depressed or frozen in fear?

ü Are you slipping into the darkness of depression?

ü Are you easily pissed off and impatient?

ü Are you crazeeee in love and can't concentrate?

ü Are you avoiding your life issues and escaping into a bottle, the mall, the casino, food, drugs

or sleeping your life away because you can't cope?

ü Are you feeling overwhelmed and resentful?

ü Are you feeling centered, hopeful and peaceful as you "grow through" your life situations?

Anxiety and fear strips away courage and makes a productive life impossible.

Doubt makes decisions feel difficult, destroys your faith and causes

procrastination.

Anger steals your peace, destroys your health and repels relationships.

Frustration makes you become a quitter, a whiner and stressful.

Guilt makes it impossible to enjoy any successes you achieve.

Jealousy and envy create dishonesty, hate and corruption.

A lack of emotional boundaries allows the drama makers, controlling,

demanding, needy and toxic people to consume your energy, joy, peace and time.

Lack of exercise, a poor diet and poor rest decrease your ability for

clear thinking and good choices.

A mental pattern is a "recording" in your brain tissue representing a memory of an experience you've had. Every single experience you have, through your senses of sight, taste, hearing, touch and smell is recorded as a memory in your brain tissue. When you experience similar events over and over, your brain records a pattern for them. Today, when you experience some event, your brain automatically, instantly searches its "library" of recordings, and within milliseconds, replays a patterned memory from a similar experience and you go on autopilot. That is why you almost always feel and act in the same ways in similar situations. Mental patterns are the foundations of all our habits and personality traits.

Mental patterns make us "predictable." We literally couldn't survive without them. Unfortunately, as important as mental patterns are to our survival, they can also make us feel and act in ways that don't support us in being our best.

You are a creature of habit because of your mental recordings. Once you aware of the mental recordings which are harmful, untrue and no longer relevant, you can begin to create new recordings. You can create new responses and reactions to your life situations.

Check your emotional temperature often to keep:

your body healthy

your emotional boundaries defined

your sense of humor

your temper controlled

your self-esteem in tact

your mind clear and creative

your relationships in balance

your faith strong and focused
