Tuesday's BOLD LAW...." Keep your emotions between the lines "

Keep your emotions between the lines.....maybe this thought will prevent you from going sideways ?

One of my daily affirmations is " I am the calming influence in every situation I encounter today ". I believe that affirmation has helped me to keep my cool when someone else is confronting me or is really upset with something going on in their lives and is looking to me for help. I can't assist them if I get upset along with them. I need to stay calm and think how I can help them .Does this affirmation work every time ? Of course not , because I'm not perfect and sometimes , I let someone get to me.

I know this affirmation has helped me more often than not in business and I really can't remember a time where I " lost it " in a business situation. I will admit though , unfortunately , I have lost my temper at home before while raising teenagers and I have not always reacted the way I should have. Again, I'm human and I have made mistakes but , having this affirmation in my brain has helped me stay calm in many personal family situations too. .

Don't let someone rattle your cage. Be known as a calming influence that people can turn to for help. Cooler heads always prevail. Nothing gets accomplished when everyone panics out of control. Keep your head while everyone around you is losing theirs. Courage does not mean you are not afraid and are not fearful. Courage means that you acknowledge the fear and confront calmly while others around you are paralyzed by the same fear and doing nothing about it.
