What does your happiness have to do with success? Here's a fact: Research shows happiness causes success, not the other way around.

This week's episode is the first of the 4-part series on LETTING GO. 

For this week's episode, I discuss 3 common negative emotions - anger, fear, & guilt/shame and possible messages they send.  I then offer you questions of self-reflection so that you can take steps to move forward.

1. Negative Emotion: ANGER

Possible Message: Someone crossed your boundary.

Questions of Self-Reflection: What can I do to move on from my anger? What could I do differently to reduce the chance of this happening again?

2. Negative Emotion: FEAR

Possible Message: I may be focused more on the potential for a negative outcome than a positive outcome.

Questions of Self-Reflection: What if my fear came true? How would I overcome it?

3. Negative Emotion: GUILT and/or SHAME

Possible Messages: I have done something that is out of alignment with my values and beliefs. Or, I am allowing past actions or experiences to define who I am.

Questions of Self-Reflection: 

Do I need to seek forgiveness from others or myself? How can I ensure that I won't repeat this in the future?  What can I learn from this mistake or failure that will help me behave differently in the future?
