Exceptional Emotional Management, Part 4 Contempt and Embarrassment and More! Dr. John flaps his gums about the final piece of exceptional emotional management, only two emotions left to cover – contempt and embarrassment. If you want exceptional management of your emotions under great stress, you’d better be familiar with the patterns that accompany emotions. You must get familiar with these patterns when you’re not stressed out or angry. So what are the triggers that fire up your negative emotions?  Harsh words from a parent? Feeling unappreciated at work? Criticism after you’ve put forth a  tremendous effort? You’ll need to know what sparks these negative, destructive emotions – anger, fear, contempt.  The more you experiment during calm times, the more you’ll be prepared for volatile situations. Dr. John also discusses the unusually high degree of optimism in Africa, the word you want to use in a disagreement to ensure successful resolution and the dangers of bringing work home with you.

A Successful Life Using Mindfulness, Or How Do You Fall Awake? How can you create more success and happiness in your life? The trait of mindfulness is the best way. There is a growing level of interest in mindfulness throughout the world. We live at such a fast pace in this day and age. We are in constant contact with others. In fact, we are so busy, we inevitably lose track of our self. This show is about how to fill the hole in your self, about how to find out who you TRULY are, and where to find that person. We’re all driven without being aware of it. We all run from pain and work towards pleasure. The goal is to reclaim your life from these unconscious drives. Mindfulness is best described as falling awake. We are extremely good at falling asleep. We are asleep most of our lives. The challenge is falling awake. How do you wake up to life?
