Although the primitive mind might believe that staying in a negative emotion might save us from a threat, it is not true. It actually tends to disable us emotionally and to make us dysfunctional.
It is proven that happy emotions make us more effective and more productive, while any negative emotion so engages the primitive mind that we are ineffective and cannot be happy.
It is imperative, if we are to have a very happy life, that we have zero tolerance for staying in any negative emotion. This doesn't mean we don't pay attention to what it is telling us, if anything. It does mean, however, that we have zero tolerance for the cause of the negative emotion. And our self-talk, our internal conversation, and our beliefs therein are the cause of those emotions, so they are what we need to correct.
We cannot operate effectively in life if we allow negative emotions to be so prevalent, so why let it continue even for a moment more than the minimum time it takes to notice them?
So, your practice that is essential to be committed to is to 1) notice the negative emotion, 2) take a "short pause" (aka The Power Pause) to engage the higher brain, 3) most likely note down the causal negative conversation, and 4) correct it, through later review or in the moment, so that a true belief replaces the one that caused the upset - leading you to a condition of "no upset".
Part of "correcting" the current conversation may involve your bringing in a previously devised corrected conversation, such as a mantra or affirmative statement that you can recall right away, as you've practiced it. It can be whatever you choose, such as "This is not true. I am actually ok. This is nothing. I am simply a human being doing the best I can, ever growing in wisdom and love." Barksdale provides some very, very good materials for those (such as this piece, which includes lots of good statements) and you can use the links in this article to go to the relevant sections
If you follow this practice and study the philosophy on the site (No Fault, plus Fearlessness), you will reach the desired zero tolerance level so that the following desirable conditions will exist: (check these off as accomplished or rate them on a 1 to 10 basis on how far you are along on the scale of attaining them, which is relatively easy to do, once you've "gotten" the core concept related to fault and fearlessness.)
__ Zero blame
__ Zero fault
__ Zero anger
__ Zero complaining
__ Zero resentment
__ Zero criticism
__ Zero worry
You will "get off it" the moment you see a negative emotion. And, as a result, your life will elevate itself to a "highly life value" productivity level of true happiness.
You MUST, as a requirement for your living a truly happy life, commit to zero tolerance for the rest of your life.
If you did do this, imagine how much better your life would be. (Especially, note how many problems and negative emotions in the past would no longer be there!)
Will you do it?
(If you choose to do it, a brief note would be appreciated: Contact.)
This ties in with the other recent blog pieces The "Can't Complain" (ever) Philosophy and also the Commit Forever To No Negative Conversations (enter the phrase into the search engine if not linked or simply scroll down on the blog).
I'll guarantee that this will transform your life, and will even make a huge difference even if you only slightly master it.
Please choose to go "zero tolerance" for the rest of your life!
