Engage Your Creativity and Resiliency with Emotional Mastery

Engage Your Creativity and Resiliency with Emotional Mastery

“He who gains victory over others is strong. But he who gains victory over himself is all powerful.” — Lao Tzu

Ideas and thoughts don’t compel us into action; our emotions do. In the first moments of creative inspiration, if our emotions aren’t actively engaged our attempts at creative action can feel lifeless. But our connection to our creativity can feel blocked if our emotions feel overwhelming,

Many people judge emotions as good or bad and try to avoid dealing with the challenging ones. But in reality all our emotions actually contain important internal messages for us. If we don’t open up and process our difficult emotions our access to our creativity can feel elusive.

By learning the principles of Emotional Mastery, a simple and gentle system, we can decode those messages and learn what’s really going on. When we understand what the core issue is by applying Emotional Mastery, we become clearer and more resilient and can re-engage with our creativity in a deeper, more meaningful way.

Through intriguing discussion and safe, fun experiential exercises, we’ll practice how to open up the inner messages of your emotions and enhance your ability to engage more vibrantly with your creativity.
