Notes
Self-Awareness Defines Growth
Script: Take control of your
emotions:
• ExR=O
While it is impossible to control
how things make you feel, you • E(vent) x R = O(utcome)
have complete control over how
you react to your emotions
• Event does not create Outcome
First, you need to be honest with
yourself about what you are
feeling and why you are feeling • R = React OR Respond (your choice)
it (self-awareness)

From there, it’s much easier to

channel the emotion into
producing the behavior that you
want (next module of self-
management)

Notes
Primary senses (external event)
enter through the limbic system
where emotions are generated -
the signal travels to the front
(the rational/”thinking” brain)
where we develop our response
to the external event

This is why we can’t leave

emotions at the door.
