In today’s episode we are going to learn how to apply the EHS and PHS to real life situations, and how to observe what you see in yourself with compassion. You need to KNOW what you do and what you THINK on a regular basis. Instead of using punishment as your weapon of choice, you will learn to teach yourself how to use compassion and mindfulness instead.

It’s amazing to me that so many smart women think they can say terrible things to themselves in the hope of initiating positive change. If you haven’t noticed, this doesn’t work.
According to emotion researchers, compassion is defined as the feeling that arises when you are confronted with another’s suffering and feel motivated to relieve that suffering. Learning to have compassion for yourself will be your greatest gift you can give to yourself, and it will help you initiate change. This takes practice since you have become so skilled at self-deprecation as your mode of operation. You would never use this tactic on your child. Why would you use it on yourself? It’s just a learned behavior that can be unlearned. But first you must become AWARE.
Today we are also learning your thinking is what creates your emotions. As you learn mindfulness and to identify your emotions, we will start learning what you are thinking that has created that emotion. In this episode we use the emotion of anger. Emotions don’t come from our life’s circumstances, they come from what we THINK about that circumstance.
