Emotions We Avoid And What To Do With Them.

by | Mar 19, 2020 | Bigger Game

Hi, My name’s Amber, and today I’m going to be talking about emotions.

There are 2 emotions and feelings we tend to avoid in life, and I’m just going to name them. One is hunger, really really wanting something. That feeling that you feel deep in your body, and it tends to be in your torso that you really want something. We tend to not let ourselves feel that so much.

The reason is because there’s another emotion we’re trying to avoid, and that’s disappointment.

I know that personally I spend a lot of my life avoiding disappointment. It sucks when you’ve gone for something, or you really want something and you don’t get it.

I also had that feeling when, it was kind of a disappointment when I went to the supermarket on Friday and I saw all the shelves were empty. Just that disappointment of Oh my god, what’s actually happening? I want to live in a society that is calm and safe and can be exciting, but we look after each other. And then there’s this craziness that I’m seeing, and there’s that disheartening disappointment that we feel about what we’re seeing.

And I’m talking about these 2 today, partly because I had planned to talk about these emotions anyway, but I think the circumstances of what is happening right now makes it more relevant.

We’re experiencing emotions, and they may be emotions we’re trying to avoid. That can get in the way of us being able to be proactively, creatively helping the world right now. When I’m talking about the world, I mean our world.

The world is a big place, and I’m not saying you should go out and save the world. Your world, the people you interact with – your family, your colleagues, your work, the things that you’re doing – if we don’t let ourselves feel that hunger for what we have, or what we want to create, right now in these days, for ourselves in our world, then we’re not going to take action.

So that’s something that I want to invite you to have a look at, and it’s something that’s a key square in the bigger game model that I’ve been talking about over the last few months is Hunger. Just tap into this – what is it that you’re actually hungry for? Ask yourself that question, and then when you get a bit of an answer, start taking action on that, and make your personal world a little bit better.

If you have any questions about this, or you want to have a conversation with me about figuring out what that is, feel free to contact me. I’m also doing a free offer on experience coaching, if you want to talk about something and you want to try it out, then no obligations, no signups, just if you want to try it out, have somebody to talk with who’s trained to listen and help you figure things out – feel free to take advantage of this offer I’ve got. Take care and be well. Bye!
