Techniques To Process Your Negative Emotions

After I completed my Masters degree in Chemistry, I held Management position with a combined experience in Indian Nationalized Bank and Corporate America for 21 years. In 2002, when my company downsized, I chose to transition to an Entrepreneur/Home based business owner, as my children needed my attention. Initially I thought, with my management experience, operating a business from home would be a breeze. To my surprise, I was using excuses to make a sales call, blaming clients, feeling not good enough, not charging what I was worth, feared success, took everything personally.

Instead of using my knowledge and expertise gained in 21 years, to my advantage, I ended up draining my energy with negative emotions caused by above mentioned thoughts and actions. I learned several techniques  to process my negative emotions. One of my mentors pointed out that  whatever I was experiencing, were EMOTIONAL BLOCKERS and  advised me to try Emotional Freedom Technique. I learned about EFT, got my Basic Certification EFT-CC and never looked back. I use it daily on myself and on my clients to solve their  problems.

Negative Emotion and Feeling Uncomfortable

Actually you may be experiencing emotional blocks or having self limiting beliefs, that lead to negative emotion, energy drain, distraction and “uncomfortable feeling”. I faced all these distractions and spent several hours training myself to address them. One of the unconventional but highly valuable tools is EFT-Emotional Freedom Technique.

Did you see how your emotional blocks and self limiting beliefs can be a silent contributor to your “uncomfortable” feeling that you experienced in the first place, when you wanted to start your Home Business? In the next audio I will reveal what prompted me to learn Emotional Freedom Technique and how it helps me and how I help my clients with EFT. Now I invite your comments, on how negative emotion affects your business.

Question: In your first audio, you had mentioned that, when you don’t know WHY you are uncomfortable, they show up as distractions and there are Five major distractions. What are they?

Five Major Distractions

Lalitha’s Answer: The five major distractions are
1. Physical clutter on your desk/home.
2. Feeling Overwhelmed with projects.
3. Phone calls/Every event in the family seems to be affecting you. and you Feel like a victim of circumstances.
4. Comparing yourself to others
5. Fear Of Unknown

How do these distraction show up in your business?

Physical Clutter, can subconsciously keep your brain clogged and you will not have CLARITY to take that next step towards your goal-which may be as simple as sending ONE email following up for a payment.

Feeling Overwhelmed with projects- This will drain your energy and keep you exhausted physically and mentally, which will STOP you from making responsible decisions for the growth of your business.

Phone calls/events in your family will always make you feel guilty for not giving enough attention to your home based business.

Comparison with your competitors will lead you to contempt and stop you from moving forward. It will also keep you from being focused in your business and MOVE you AWAY from your goal.

Fear of unknown-Fear for no reason comes up almost every day and will paralyze you from taking daily action that is needed for running your business .
