As a guitar tutor patience is not only a virtue but a necessity. After being asked by his students how he never loses his temper, Neil shares his tips on managing your emotions in this episode. 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Recognise that you are having an emotional reaction and identify it. If you can’t recognise it, you can’t manage it. 
• What you call the emotion will affect your response to the emotion you’re experiencing. Rename it and interpret it positively. 
• Pause and reach for your next technique to overcome the situation.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Just like you, I have to manage frustration and impatience because if it gets out of control I might respond badly.’

‘Emotions never rest, they’re always moving this way, that way,’

‘I think this is why I’ve become such a fan of Neurolinguistic Programming, applied psychology, behaviour and linguistics and some of the techniques of hypnosis.’
