How to Truly Manage Difficult Emotions Like a Champ

How many of you are experiencing difficult emotions right now? 

I know I am.

Many of us are feeling the tension, frustrations, uncertainty of the times, and dealing with life and business adjustments. 

I wanted to offer you some ideas to help you manage these emotions like a champ on the podcast this week. 

I’m offering you some thoughts around positive and negative emotions (spoiler, I don’t think they exist), how to feel hard things like anger and fear, and why we can’t ignore difficult emotions. 

This is important always, but especially as we navigate this new world together.

I’d also encourage you to find high level support in some way, if you haven’t already. Make this a goal. It could be to join a mastermind, an online group, a community (of course, we would love to have you in Soul-Full Success), something where you get the support you need, I know that’s been instrumental for me. 

Now, take in this week’s podcast so you can keep facing the world and your emotions like a champ and I’d love a check in from you this week, head over to Instagram or Facebook to let me know how you are doing. 

Love, 

Your Favorite Life Coach, 

 

Allison Crow

  • Last week I was honored to be asked to participate in a 24 hour global summit put on by Lisa Copeland. During this summit, I shared my message on releasing imposter syndrome and how we can lead from our FULL GLORY. I knew the session was gold and wanted to share it with you on the podcast too, so that’s what we are doing this week on the Better Life Better Work Show (link in bio). The idea of sharing this session with you was solidified when I received this amazing feedback from a client; I’ll let her words speak for this week’s episode: “Great 30 minute live on living in FULL GLORY. F - Face your protective self U - You are the key, you are the power. L - Let go of the need for approval. L - Let go of people pleasing. G - Go deep to live from the inside out. L - Leverage your credibility. O - Own your genius. R - RememBEr who you really are. Y - You were born for this! Your resilience is your security. ...Our brain will choose mediocrity simply because it’s a known. Allison coaches to go deep & meet our protective self in conversation with compassion, to open great wisdom to ourselves. It struck a chord with me when she said underneath the greatest achievements, we still try to avoid the difficult emotions. Sometimes miserable emotions are more comfortable than the deeper fear of rejection and the need to people please. Aha moment for me! Another was when she said when you are centered in self, you are in your fullest energy and can impact the world just with your presence. Some of my favorite questions I’ve added to my journal list: - If you gave yourself full approval and permission what would you do? - What would it be like to fully trust yourself? - Who you BE? - Leverage your credibility by remembering who you are and write down everything you are Allison Crow is one of my business and life coaches. I love her focus on getting the soul back into business and helping her soulful people with their business. ...Enjoy!” -Annette Stahl So there you have it, allow yourself to enjoy this awesome show this week, and then let me know what questions you added to your journal list.
  • The only leadership I can comment on or control is my own. As a 30 year student of human behavior and psychology - I'm enthralled by the layers I see all around me. Covid-19 as a global pandemic is highlighting behavior. And seeing YOUR/HIS/HER/THEIR behavior is so much easier than witnessing my own. It makes me feel in control in anxious times to judge. And that isn't useful. So I notice. Like I mentioned before...(the vacuum post) I come back to me. Coming back to me sets you free. And coming back to me - sets me free. I see my own feelings, and fears, and desires. I see myself. I listen to myself. I meet even the hidden parts of me and I just be. I tend to over function by working and then recover with excessive sleep when I'm off-center. People have been asking- "What do you miss the most? " or "What are you most excited to get back to?" When I considered this, today, I realized it was only joy. Not any activity (well except holding baby Bowman - my nephew again)...but it was the feeling of excitement and joy. And I realized that I can hold joy, even now. That is possible NOW...not just "when." I am able to hold joy alongside my sadness for those who are suffering greatly - an many are suffering way more than I. I can choose empathy, and care, and joy. I am not celebrating this circumstance.... and I can find joy in the moments. In my breath. In my calm. In my gentle and intentional steps to care for my self, my family, my clients, and those who can not care for themselves now. The ability to do that brings me joy. Maybe not the giddy exploding joy....but something deeper. A joy of sacred being human. A joy of surrendering with out giving up. A joy of loving what ever arises. A joy of meeting even the most difficult moments with holy humanity. Pretending that I was saved by grace, or that the universe had a reason for everything was only ever an escape, for me, from my glorious humanness. My glorious humanness, and yours, today - that is joy.
  • As I vacuumed my whole house today - I'm always amazed at how much gunk comes up. We keep a pretty tidy and clean home, and still, each time I vacuum - quickly the canister fills up with disgusting dander and fur and hair - unseen on the surfaces of our home. My focus has been outward a bit to much lately. And it causes me needless suffering - and if I'm not careful it can bleed onto others nearby. And so as I vacuumed, I turned inward and cleaned up my own system too. I ask myself how I want to lead myself, my family, and my clients. Once again, I come back to these 4 Agreements + Breathe + Self-Compassion. Maybe it could help you too.
  • Happiest Birthday to this woman. @thetaranewman - I’m so glad she was born. Her leadership and support and humanness in my life the last year has been a desire fulfilled. That you Tara for living your calling 💛
  • Rest- Don't Quit. Sharing a gentle reminder with you today that rest is crucial - especially if you want to keep the Soul in your Success. Take the time to reset your mindy, body, and spirit when times feel sticky, but also when they are going well. Remember- when you are tired, rest- don't quit. Love, 💛 Allison
  • I got the goods.
  • Who can help you be your strongest self? This is the topic we are focusing on this week on the podcast (link in my bio). Because I don’t know about y’all, but I’ve been experiencing a range of emotions and I need some support. Now more than ever it’s important for us to choose who we support and who we let in as our own support. It’s important for us to give ourselves permission to take a break, let go of what’s not serving us, and be intentional about who we are surrounding ourselves with (figuratively, of course). In this episode I”m going to let you in on who my support team consists of, share how you can focus on your chosen ecosystem, and invite you to answer some questions that will help you be more intentional with your time, attention, and connections these days. I always say the best lessons are from real life, enjoy my insights and lessons for you this week and of course I’d love to hear what lessons you are learning in this new normal we are experiencing.
