Since writing my emotional agility guidebook “Save Your Inner Tortoise”, my passion is interrupt Why this purpose? Nothing too sophisticated. Please join in!
For a couple decades both personally and professionally, I have been passionate about the idea of emotional agility—activating the right emotion, at the right time, to the right degree and with the right person. I eagerly seek simple and elegant learning strategies that make our lives more to our liking. Since writing a basic emotional agility guide book called “Save Your Inner Tortoise”, my missi
on has been investigating and interrupting habits of excessive self-sacrificing that lead to overwhelm and exhaustion of caring human beings. I simply think it is a waste of a good heart and efforts to do good in the world only to be distracted by stressing anxieties of feeling ‘not good enough’ that trigger inertia. From my seat, the world needs those of us who care energized with our well-being fully operational. The “tribe” I relate to the most are those distracted by exhaustion from feelings of inadequacy (I am not good enough…) excessive self doubt, ever present guilt, over done pleasing and second guessing. Members of this large and international group waste enormous amounts of time and energy with I should… I need to… I should not have and I wish I would have. The emotions that take hold in these situations range from being impatient, resigned and disillusioned to the more uncomfortable and destructive anger, resentment, bitterness, and hopelessness. And so…I am thrilled to be a champion of increasing our emotional agility and the re-energizing “emotional antidotes” of gratitude, satisfaction, wholeheartedness and joy—my choice as universal emotions of well-being.
