Develop Emotional Control and Clarity

The negative self-talk is keeping you down.

“There’s something wrong with me,” you insist.

“Why can’t I just be normal? Why am I not good enough?”

Recently, it’s difficult to show yourself any compassion or understanding.

Complicated emotions get the better of you.

The other day, an innocuous comment by a co-worker set you off.

You screamed, railed, and caused a scene with your meltdown – only to immediately regret it and feel guilty and ashamed.

You’re scared that you might lose control at any moment.

So, you avoid interactions with people as much as possible.

But how can you ever advance in your career if your only two moods are hysterical or distant?

Nobody seems to take you seriously, and you’re not surprised.

Feeling normal has never been easy for you.

As a child, you remember always feeling a bit different from everyone else.

In school, you never really fit in and were often left out and excluded from the group.

Even now, as an adult, you still don’t feel like you truly belong. You wonder if you’re forever destined to be sad and alone.

What works for others, isn’t enough for you.

Everyone tells you to exercise and eat healthy.

But somedays, it’s hard to find enough motivation to move, let alone care.

On the days you feel motivated enough to go work out, you don’t even go in.

Sitting in the parking lot, you notice that woman you blew-up at last week is there – and you can’t face her.

This is when the shame spiral begins, again.

Embarrassment and shame pop-up, inadequacy flares, and you avoid working out, again!

You can’t keep living like this!
