Emotion Box – Practice

Be aware of your emotions this week. How are you reacting or responding to situations?

Practice associating: While you focus on your emotions, what comes to mind? Remember you don’t have to go looking for a memory. God gave you the ability to naturally associate. Let your emotion be the bridge. Don’t edit anything out and don’t try to figure out why you are feeling that way in the moment.

If you want to uncover the belief causing your negative emotion, follow the process to the Memory Box where you’ll uncover not only what you came to believe but why during that context or experience. 

Let us know how it goes or if you get stuck somewhere along the way. Trying is what counts.
