The Truth About Emotions

Do you often feel angry for a variety of reasons? Does it make you feel tired, wiped out, irritated because you don't know why you feel the way you do?  In this episode I talk about some of the reasons you may be feeling angry and what you can do about it before it gets out of control.

This episode is PG18. Please do not listen infront of children or use your headset.   What is your relationship like with your body, do you love it, do you trust it, hate it or feel indifferent to it?  Do you have a relationship with your body and if not, why it's  important that you do and how to start trusting it.  I also discuss how your relationship with your body affects your creativity. You can find Selfie School here

The reason it's so hard for some people, children included, to love themselves and why it drives them to thoughts of self harm and suicide. I did go on a bit of a tangent here, but this is a topic so close to my heart. Suicide and self harm does not have to happen if we are raised being taught to, and teach our children to, love themselves.  Please reach out if you need to speak to someone, contact one of the organisations in your area or a counsellor or coach near you. If you want to learn how to love yourself and role model it to your children, then consider joining Selfie School - you can find out more about that here https://www.selfieschool.me

In this episode I talk about revealing the whole of you, spirituality and my opinion on how the law of attraction is taught, is flawed.

What is anxiety, where does it comes from, why do we have it?  I explain all in this episode and I share the details of an incredible programme that helps you to alleviate anxiety and all the other emotions that stand in the way of you being you and you doing the things you love to do. More about that can be found here https://www.selfieschool.me

Anger is one of the most powerful emotions you will ever feel, it has the potential to escalate to rage and even to violence.  It often leaves us feeling guilty, exhausted, embarrassed and at times just plain awful.  But, when you understand anger, you will realise that anger is your most powerful teacher. In this episode I explain what your anger is trying to tell you and how you can use it for good.  To find out more about Selfie School, visit https://www.deborahmcphilemy.com or https://www.selfieschool.me

Having a mental health issue can become a new way of being, a habit if we don't nip it in the bud. In this episode I explain how an incident can turn into a mental health issue, where it all starts.

If you want to know why I believe Emotions are powerful, life-changing and simply incredible, then YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE. I also share with you how your emotions can help you to heal from your past, to help you heal from the trauma you may have experienced. How I overcame abuse, violence, anxiety, bullying and depression when I learnt to understand my emotions and use them as my very own built-in GPS system.

So many of us go through trauma and events that change us, that force us in a way to become someone we don't want to be. Initially we do this 'unconciously', as an act of survival and trying to keep ourselves safe.  The 'demise' of myself started at the age of 3.....

I'm finally ready to be ME! It's taken me 7 years to get here, but in my opinion you are never to old nor is it ever too late to follow your heart and live the life of your dreams! Not only have I started saying yes to me, but I am saying yes to life. I'm keen to truly find out what life is all about without all the stuff that has held me back until now. To stop resisting life and to discover what I like and don't like. To trust that God / The Universe has my back. To start taking action and taking the steps to make my dreams come true, to live life on my terms.

10 Years ago empowerment coach & speaker Jason Archdale felt as though he was living in hell, along with his three companions: fear, anxiety and depression. The night he tried to commit suicide he lay on his couch holding his daughters picture, and whispered "sorry darling, I love you, but I have let you down".   Jason managed to pull himself off that couch and changed his life's purpose in the process. He is proof that our reality is our decision, and that we just have to believe in what we decide. Jason changed his responses to his emotions and has been living an emotionally intelligent life ever since. He has prevented himself from lapsing back into that dark space he was in all those years ago. His strategy is simple: Instead of asking "why me?", he rather asks "what does this mean?". This enables him to find out what he needs to do to change his situation. Jason reiterates that the universe does not give you what you need, it gives you what you are. You have to put the work in. "Everything is created twice, firstly in your mind and then secondly in reality". So if you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change. You have the potential to learn how to tune into the frequency of the life you want to live, and you can do this through Emotional Intelligence.   Simply put, a mindset is based on your beliefs, which adjust your frequencies, and therefore determine your reality. When you change your beliefs, you will also change your story. Energy and mind are all linked, and we have the science and skills to help you create a healthy mind and your dream reality.   Always remember that everything starts with a decision, and there is always a way!  To find our more about Emotional Intelligence and how it can change your life then visit www.eqforall.org .

Leigh weighs in on the importance of raising emotionally intelligent children and how emotional intelligence helped her deal with her addiction.   Once Leigh started to believe that she was capable of anything she began to heal.

Karl Smith, an ex military man, opens up about why men need to start talking about their emotions.   On August 4th 2006 Karl was having a beer when a car crashed into the side if his house. He went outside to help the driver, who was high on drugs, and ended up getting trapped under the car while trying to get the driver out. The driver reversed 60 yards while Karl was stuck under the car.   Karl explains how his physical body was healing, but his mental health was worsening. He had post traumatic stress after the accident, causing him to feel angry and eventually become suicidal. Karl discovered hypnotherapy, and used it to recover from the accident.  Hypnosis causes a kinaesthetic feeling within Karl, helping him release his emotions  Men often feel as though they cannot share their emotions, and we need this to change! Men who do not share their emotions are holding themselves back in their personal and work lives. Deborah and Karl discuss the importance of making men feel safe to share their emotions, and how to get men to release their feelings in the future.

Megan Choritz helps white people in South Africa take responsibility for their white privilege. Megan explains how we can empower people of colour by becoming empathetic towards them. It is the responsibility of white people to understand people of colour, so that they can start to see white privilege and white supremacy through the eyes of the oppressed. If you are white it is your responsibility to lean into the discomfort, so that you can invite transformation into the world for yourself and others.  Becoming EQ will help you see other people with empathy, and ensure that you become part of the solution to white privilege and help end systemic racist and white supremacy. All human beings need to be treated equally, and there is no better way to start than by becoming emotionally intelligent.  To learn more about Emotional Intelligence you can visit our website www.eqforall.org or read Deborah McPhilemy's latest book 'Emotional Intelligence in a Nutshell' now available on Amazon here: https://www.eqforall.org/books/  Facebook: @meghanchorits              Instagram @meganshead               Blog: www.meganshead.co.za

Jon Boyes discusses how Emotional Intelligence helped him overcome his fear of dying. He had a heart attack at 65 and developed an acute awareness for life, and the importance of living without fear.   Jon explains how we need to differentiate between feelings and reality in order to live without fear. Anxiety is a result of fear, and we can only overcome anxiety by letting go and living consciously. We need to accept that thoughts let feelings  in, and then we need to let those feelings out. We need to discriminate between thoughts that are useful and thoughts that we need to let go.  If you want to learn how to become EQ so that you can start living without fear, then order your copy of "Emotional Intelligence in a Nutshell" here: https://www.eqforall.org/courses/emotional-intelligence-in-a-nutshell-the-book-for-parents-and-teachers-read-on-any-device/buy  If you would like to contact Jon then visit https://innerpeacecentre.org/ or find him on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/joncoachboys

WHY YOUR BABY IS NOT SLEEPING

Saya Pierce-Jones speaks to us today about her experience in journalism and how she has learnt to approach victims of trauma in a way that will not make them relive their pain. Saying explains how the justice systems lacks empathy, and how journalists have the responsibility to tell a traumatic story without re-traumatising the victim.

Chantal Jax opens up about using humour as a coping mechanism, and the impact that it has on our ability to deal with the root cause of our mental health issues.   Socially we all have the same issues, but just on different spectrums. Jax discusses why we are all scared to admit that we actually all have the same problems. She points out that we can only deal with our struggles once we start normalizing conversations about them. However there is always a dark side as "the person who says it first, when people are not ready to hear it, will always be the person who gets the most flak for it; but that doesn't make the statement untrue". Jax discusses the new post-Covid19 reality, and why we are so scared of facing ourselves. She explains that when we avoiding talking about our problems, we can develop anxiety disorders and mental illnesses.

David shares what has helped him get through his anxiety and how he hopes to help others.  To contact David and find out about his course you can visit www.healyourgrief.co.uk  If you suffer from anxiety, fear or depression then please reach out on www.eqforall.org.

Natasha opens up about her experience with emotional intelligence and why she feels she is emotionally intelligent. She shows that you can develop emotional intelligence at any age, but also how beneficial it can be to develop emotional intelligence at a young age.  Natasha was raised by parents with a very high EQ, who let her play a part in how she was raised. As a result she developed a special outlook on the world, and learnt life's most valuable lesson: do everything from a place of joy.  To learn how to raise your child in an EQ way you can purchase our coaching sessions here: https://www.eqforall.org/coaching/ Lets create a generation of EQ children, so that we can fill the world with joy.

Nicola Date bravely opens up about her experience with rape and how we need to redefine what rape means. We have been hypersexualised and raised with toxic masculinity, but once we change how we are raised, we can end sexual suppression. Teaching children to understand the power of sex is how we can protect them from having non-consensual sex.

So many people are unaware that we all have an invisible 'magnet' that attracts us to people. A force so strong that it will at times override your intuition, your common sense, and your voice of reason. For 18 years I kept getting back into the same types of relationships over and over again. Relationships that were disempowering, abusive and at times  violent. It was only when I became aware that my own personal magnetism  was creating this vicious cycle, that I was able to change it. In this podcast with Marissa F Cohen https://marissafayecohen.podbean.com/ and Rob https://bobculture.podbean.com/.  I discuss what that magnet is and how I broke the cycle. My book The Relationship Magnet is available as an e-book here or as a print book on Amazon. If you can't find it on Amazon, do a search under my name Deborah McPhilemy and you will find it:-) Join my Advice Membership group https://www.facebook.com/groups/emotique

Oprah Winfrey's interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry brought up so many of my own feelings of when I moved to the UK ten years ago.  I too felt incredibly trapped, the culture shock was overwhelming, not feeling that I fitted in or was even wanted when I had so much to offer.  What became evident over the years was realising that a lot of my feelings of 'feeling trapped' was having an old belief of having to submit to my husband, that I was not in charge of my own life and decisions, which came from the era I was brought up in.  It took a lot of courage opening up to my husband talking to him about all of this and actually getting him to understand.  Today he is my biggest champion, my supporter my rock.  Today I live in total freedom with him by my side 100%.

What I loved most about this chat most was how Linda shares some fantastic tips on how to treat ourselves with the same love and attention as we do others.  Moms, caregivers and entrepreneurs give so much of themselves to others and often we forget about giving to ourselves.  I know that personally I have found it hard to give myself the same love, time and attention that I give to my children, my spouse and the rest of my family.  Linda's tips help you to put this into perspective and helps you to shift your mindset.
