1. IDENTIFY THE ACTION SIGNAL
The first step is to identify what your feelings really are.
This is achieved by going through the action signals and asking yourself:
- What am I really feeling right now?
- Could it be something else?

2. ACKNOWLEDGE AND APPRECIATE YOUR EMOTIONS, KNOWING THEY SUPPORT YOU
Emotional mastery involves appreciating your emotions. Your emotions are never wrong and shouldn’t ever be perceived that way. This will only prevent honest communication with yourself as well as with others.

It is important to fully feel an emotion by being present with the feeling. This is done by detaching ourselves from the storylines that are playing in our heads whilst we are feeling an emotion, and then noticing any bodily sensations arising due to the negative emotion. You will notice that specific emotions produce specific feelings in the body. If you race to hurry out of a negative state without taking time to acknowledge and appreciate the emotion, then you will only be acting out of a negative state. You are much more effective once you appreciate the feeling.

3. GET CURIOUS ABOUT THE MESSAGE THIS EMOTION IS OFFERING
When your feelings are approached with a sense of curiosity, you will learn a lot about yourself.
Getting curious helps you:
- Interrupt your current emotional pattern
- Solve the challenge
- Prevent the same problem from occurring in the future

4. GET CONFIDENT
When was the last time you felt a similar emotion and handled it successfully?
There is no doubt you can overcome the emotion again.

5. GET CERTAIN YOU CAN HANDLE THIS NOT ONLY TODAY, BUT IN THE FUTURE AS WELL
See, hear, and feel yourself handling the situation.

6. GET EXCITED AND TAKE ACTION
It is time to get excited because you can:
- Handle this emotion with ease
- Take action immediately
- Prove to yourself that you’re capable of overcoming this emotion
