I read a book today that offered an excellent elaboration on my point
mentioned in my book (p.25) on ”training your emotional muscle to deal with down moment and negative energy”.
The book titled “The Coaching Manual – The Definitive Guide to the Process, Principles and Skills of Personal Coaching” by Julie Starr (p.150) suggests a three-step process:
1. Awareness: You notice that you’re doing or thinking something that is not working (negative energy).
2. Acknowledgement: You acknowledge that – and give it up (let the thought go).
3. Refocus: You shift your attention to a more effective thought or behavior (positive energy).
A great and concrete advice that I was compelled to share with all. It will be included in the next edition of my book.
