Failure is part of the human experience. We all fail. When we see failure as negative, we are not only less likely to challenge ourselves but we are also more likely to get weighed down by the experience. If you begin to consider failure as both purposeful and positive, you can gain extraordinary wisdom and growth. In this episode, learn which questions can help you flip failure upside down so that the experience works to refine you rather than define you.   LESSONS: • Failure happens to all of us.   • When you see failure as purposeful you can learn and grow from it. • Ask yourself these three questions when you experience failure so that you can gain the most from the experience: 1. What wisdom can I gain from this? 2. What does this failure mean about me that I need to pay attention to? 3. How does this failure refine me?   SUBSCRIBE:   Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/SpartanUpShow YouTube: http://bit.ly/SpartanUpYT Google Play: http://bit.ly/SpartanUpPlay   FOLLOW SPARTAN UP:   Spartan Up on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/spartanuppodcast/ Spartan Up on Twitter https://twitter.com/SpartanUpPod   CREDITS:   Production Team: Heather Knox, Knox Knox Creative; Marion Abrams, Madmotion, llc.

As much as you may want to, you can’t actually control which emotions arrive at any given time. You can, however, control how you respond to them when you are tuned in and paying attention. Becoming more aware of your emotional state gives you greater agency over your choices, behaviors, and ways of relating. In this episode, learn a simple three-step process that can help you increase your emotional acuity and become more intentional with how you choose to respond.

LESSONS:

• We must be increase our emotional acuity if we want to be intentional with our choices.
• Tuning in to your emotional state is similar to tuning in to your physical state.
• A three step-process can help to increase your emotional awareness:
• 1. Where Am I Feeling? : a full body scan to check-in with the physical sensations of your emotions.
  2. What Am I Feeling? : expand your emotional vocabulary and use more descriptive words to identify which feeling is arriving.
  3. How Do I Want to Respond? : make intentional choices with how to move forward with greater awareness of the emotion that is at play.
