Emotions contain a lot of necessary energy, and that's wonderful. But it can also be troublesome if your emotions need to be highly activated and vigilant (for whatever reason) most of the time. As we study our friend anxiety and learn to embrace its genius, we'll explore ways to reframe our responses to it when it needs to work at intense levels of activation. As you learn to observe and work with anxiety as a valuable member of your social skills and your emotional realm -- even when it needs to be on high alert -- it will help to know about four ideas that can make all the difference in your emotional life. The Four Keys to Emotional Genius First things first: Most of us have received a very poor emotional education. Most of us don't know how emotions work or why, we don't have a large emotional vocabulary, and we've been taught to see many emotions as unwanted, unlovable, or unmanageable -- which means that we can't embrace those emotions or listen to them clearly. Emotions have, throughout the centuries, been treated as less than: less than spirituality, less than the intellect, less than scientific inquiry, and less than good old common sense. Emotions are often seen as irrational, embarrassing, or unnecessary things. Because we love and care so much, we often focus all our attention on our loved one and neglect to take care of ourselves. However, just like with the oxygen mask, we need to take care of ourselves so that we can effectively take care of our loved ones. Following are some tips to help you take better care of yourself.

Decide that your life matters It's easy to become consumed with caring for your loved one, even to the point of feeling like you have to be on call all the time. You must realize that you deserve time to yourself to regain peace and calm in your life. Deciding that your life matters just as much as your loved one's is the first step toward taking better care of yourself and making the most of your time away from them. Take responsibility for your care You can't control Parkinson's and how it will affect your loved one. You can, however, take control of your care. Of the more than 80,000 chemicals used in industry and whose waste pollutes the air, water, and ground, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in America has no idea how many may be neurotoxic since there are no requirements that safety be proven before using them. Only a small fraction has ever been tested for safety. In many other countries with less regulation the situation is even worse. Pesticides used on commercial foods are well-documented neurotoxins. Numerous scientific reviews confirm that pesticides which are neurotoxic to insects are also neurotoxic to humans. When mercury and lead are added in, he estimates the loss of 41 millio n I. Glyphosate, the main ingredient of the pesticide Roundup, is the most commonly used organophosphate. It is an antibiotic that kills all-important friendly bacteria in the gut as well as the soil. When the friendly bacteria in the gut are killed off, there are significant mental, emotional, and physical problems. Reduced bacterial biodiversity is linked to mental health problems. I said to her. But, she argued, you wrote the best beauty piece the magazine ever ran. The rest, as they say, is herstory.

Defining your maintenance level is all about defining your priorities: who you are and what you aspire to be. There are things I wish I could do. Like when I heard that Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour had a hairdresser and makeup artist come to her house every morning. I would love that -- although I wouldn't love to pay for it. These days, when everyone is on overload 24/7, maintenance is as much about time as it is about the ease with which you can wipe away your credit card balance. As I write this, I'm glad you can't see my nails. I don't have twenty minutes to run across the street and get a manicure, nor do I have time to do it myself. Humanity is in a transitional phase right now, coming out of what is often referred to as the Kali Yuga, or the Iron Age of separation and dis-connection, and moving into the Satya Yuga, or the Golden Age of connection and Oneness. When I think or feel into the Kali Yuga, it feels mechanical, linear, masculine (referring to the energetics of masculine energy, not the male species), and contracting and has a pushing energy of force and structure. When I think or feel into the Satya Yuga (Satya means truth), it feels expansive, chaotic, feminine (again, referring to the energetics of feminine energy, not the female species), nurturing, loving, and compassionate. You may begin to notice yourself judging the masculine or feminine as being better than or worse than, but the reality is they are both needed in our world of duality in order to continue this cycle of life: create, preserve, and destruct, or birth, life, death, and rebirth. The more knowledge we attain to be able to understand this, the easier it is to dance and navigate through the constant changes in life, both physically and energetically. When something expands, it must contract. When something dies, it gets recycled (hopefully) back into the earth for rebirth. The reality is this: we are not going to change the world anytime soon because of the deep conditioned ways in which we've been living and functioning. Again, that is not a judgment; But in order to create effective change, we must know where we are and where we want to go in order to live differently. Nice to meet you. Thank you for taking time to see me, Marvin began. Don't get too excited until you find out whether or not I can help you.

Do you recall what I said as we hung up last week? Sandy asked seriously. Marvin thought for a minute. Frankly, no. I told you that you were starting a journey. Oh yes, said Marvin. Something about a journey to the Land of Empowerment. Resist the temptation of criticism. It's a dangerous hobby. It can give you satisfaction, fun or even the feeling of being superior for an instance, but in the long-term, it might cost you some dear friends, and you might even create some enemies. It's one of the habits of toxic people that you don't want to have around you, which means if you criticize a lot, one day people may not want to have you around them. It's dangerous to focus all the time on the weaknesses of others. You might get so used to that perspective that one day you even turn on yourself. Criticizing is an absolutely useless behavior. The negativity you will spread will affect your own happiness and the happiness of those around you. Stop worrying about other people's flaws and focus on yourself. Concentrate on improving your life so much that you don't have time to criticize others and always remember one thing: Those who can, DO, those who can't, criticize. How did you do yesterday? Do you feel that you are learning to let go of some of your past hurts and tune your self-talk to a more positive channel? I am so proud of you for loving yourself enough to do these lessons every day and to use your mirror work to reprogram all the old tapes you have been playing in your head.

Ever since we were little children, every message we have received, everything we have said, everything we have done, everything we have experienced has been recorded and stored in the filing cabinet in our core, our gut, our solar plexus. I like to imagine that there are little messengers in there and that all our thoughts and experiences are recorded on tapes that the messengers put in the appropriate files. Many of us have been accumulating files with labels like I'm not good enough. I'll never make it. I don't do anything right. We are buried under piles of old, negative tapes. Today we're going to surprise the little messengers. Time remains a mystery to human beings. We struggle with time every day. What's more, we have a huge problem defining what time is. Sure, this is the easiest way of defining what time is, but there is a huge dimension to time. For instance, when thinking about the nature of time, this would be different from the time on the clock. All animals can learn from past events. This means that apart from human beings, animals also have memories. A dog, for example, will salivate over a meal. This is because it has memories of how it tastes. Nevertheless, this doesn't imply that the animal is reminiscing. For instance, if I'm strolling down the old streets of Rome and I see some gelato in a shop window, my first impression will likely be that the gelato is good and that I need some of it. However, my prohairesis immediately kicks in and says to the impression, Hold on a minute here, maybe you are not what you pretend to be, let's consider things for a moment, before we act. Indeed, upon reflection, I find a number of good reasons not to walk into the shop to get the gelato: it isn't going to be good for my waistline, and therefore my health;
