Master Your Emotions: A Practical Guide to Overcome Negativity and Better Manage Your Feelings (Mastery Series Book 1)

by Thibaut Meurisse

A problem exists only when you interpret a situation as being a problem. Otherwise, there is no problem.

Problems dont exist

Your thoughts define who you are and create your reality. That’s why you should channel your thoughts towards what you want, not what you don’t want.

Words to be used instead: I will Absolutely Definitely Of course Sure Certainly Obviously Without any doubt No problem

Constant worry results from trying to control events over which you have no control.

You can divide your worries into three separate categories: Things you have control over Things you have some control over, and Things you have no control over whatsoever.

You’re not responsible for people’s thoughts. In fact, what people think of you is none of your business. Your job is to express your personality the best way you can while having the purest intent possible. In short, your responsibility is to do your best to be your true self. Then, people may or may not like you, and either way is fine.

Part of your personal growth is to accept you don’t have to be liked by everybody, and finally, you can be yourself.

Resentment will subsist as long as your need for being right and getting even is more important than your peace of mind.

Often, resentment builds up when you don’t share your feelings with the person you resent. This is often due to fear: fear of appearing vulnerable, fear of hurting the other person, or fear of negatively impacting your relationship with that person. If you can’t talk to that person directly, an alternative is to write a letter. Even if you don’t send it, the simple act of writing the letter may help you release some of your resentment.

I don’t have time for that → I find and make time for whatever I’m committed to.
