How to use emotion to your advantage
- Motivation
- Excitement about what is happing and encouraging others have gotten me through incredible ordeals mentally
- See yourself finishing the goal
- Fake it until you make it.
- Encourage others and talk about the end
- Talk to yourself if you need to
- Once achieved push it towards what you want to get done
- Can be used in self defense in a long term event once fear subsides
- Anger
- If you can’t get motivated get angry at something
- Allowed me to push through when motivation failed me
- Police academy said I had heart because I could push through anything when others were failing
- Law Enforcement are taught to get angry when they are in a fight against someone and to use that anger towards the person they are fighting
- Focused anger during an attack
- Anger is generally easy to come up with, during a self defense situation it’s okay to be angry at the other person
- Don’t let rage overtake you (Iraq checkpoint story)
- Never give full vent to your anger (proverbs 29:11) A fool lets fly with all his temper, but a wise person keeps it back. (Proverbs 29:11 NET)
Look at people in an argument and see if you can see where it goes down hill. See what happened and how the people changed. If you don’t see adults you can always watch young teens and see it. It happens to young men all the time.
Once someone gets angry it’s time to go
