2) operationalising emotions
• Operationalise emotion means setting an action cue after a sense emotion is felt to quickly
mitigate the feeling.
• Frustration – cut out unessential tasks
• sadness - generate more options by mitigating ignorance
• anger - wait it out till water gets calm
• anxiety - prioritise available decisions
6) You don’t have to feel like you embody a trait, just exhibit the actions in congruence of that
trait.
• judge yourself like you judge others, by their actions and not their thoughts. This gives liberty
to think that you are not a certain trait but act in congruence with it and you will be.
• and most often you would never feel that you are patient, or hard working, or humble. You just
need to act in congruency to be able to say that you are patient, or hardworking or humble.
• you don’t have to feel like you deserve something to get it, you can not deserve it but still get it.
9) You should not care what people think of you because they aren’t
• we tend to overestimate how much others think about us, and underestimate how self-
absorbed people actually are.
• are you willing to give power of your life decisions to some person’s thought who in themselves
are not remarkable or significant in their own life.
• No one is going to talk about you 6 days after you die, and everyone would have forgotten
about you in 6 months.
• Then do their opinion really do matter, if many of them would not be able to even attend my
funeral. Should their word really hold that much value.
