6. ANGER
Anger is a response to being frustrated, anger is also a belief that your self image is being questioned.
When you’re feeling this emotion your sense of personal power is being deprived and you feel
powerless. The core issue of anger is lack of self worth.
Anger is a barrier that disconnects you from others. It cripples you. You’re unable to move forward.
When your angry it’s much easier to blame others for how your feeling instead of finding out why your
so angry. People who are angry are in constant pain and this pain never goes away it gets buried
deeper and deeper until you can’t stand the pain any longer. When your in this much pain you become
unapproachable, lash at others and justify your negative behavior. You become judge and jury.
When you’re this angry you feel your incapable of being understood. But what is really showing up in
your life is your ego. Your ego is keeping you from seeing that you’re angry at yourself, not who you
think your angry with. Your never angry for the reason you think you are. Blaming others for the
choices you made is a lot easier than looking at yourself. Anger is your resistance to things not
looking the way you think they should look.

7. JUDGMENT
Judgment is scrutiny of people or events that you don’t identify with. When your being judgmental you have
imposed your principles and criticism upon another. Being judgmental says your closed to learning new
levels of understanding. Judgment means being critical to others reality.
People who judge feel superior to others. They use judgment as a weapon of defense for their own authority.
When we judge what people have done as right and wrong, what we are really telling them is how they think
or live is not valid There way is the better way and if you don’t act in accordance with what they think
something will be taken away from them. And it’s usually love and everyone wants to be loved including the
person that’s doing the judging.
Judgments are often based upon previous experiences of others and have very little value because they are
judgments you have incorporated into your truth as your own.
When you are feeling the emotion of being judgmental you are redirecting your attention from yourself to
others. It’s an issue of needing to be right. Everything has to meet your approval. Judging others is very
complex because when you’re judging others you are being resistant to seeing what you really don’t like
about yourself. And if you didn’t have the same characteristics you would not be judging or reacting to the
situation.
Until you can see judgment as opportunity to look at yourself you will continue to judge others.

Right and Wrong
Resistance
10. BLAMING OTHERS
Blame is avoidance of responsibility. People who are blaming others are negligent and
irresponsible. They haven’t acknowledged accountability for themselves. Blaming others
is giving your power away and a form of fear.
When you’re blaming others you are holding others responsible for what you are
accountable for. People who are blaming others never take notice of the part they have
played in creating their own mess in there lives. It’s always them not me. The entire
function of blaming others is to export responsibility to others and hoping we are be able
to steer away from the work that being responsible always entails.
Blaming others always involves passing the buck and making someone else responsibility
for fixing it. It happens everywhere. (Home, Work, Relationships and Family) They
delegate it to someone else or some where else. And in any given situation there always
looking outside themselves instead of looking at themselves.
Blaming Others
Victim
Taking Responsibility
11. REACTIONS
YOUR BUTTONS HAVE BEEN PUSHED!
When you've reacted it usually means that your buttons have been pushed. Your reacting to
a person or situation with confrontation and have little consideration or regard to the
consequences.
It’s imperative that you become aware of what pushes your buttons. Because the more you
know about what is likely to push your buttons, the more you can anticipate your reaction
and are less likely to react to others. When your in the midst of the behavior of reacting and
your conscious of what’s going on inside of you (feelings and thoughts) you can choose to
react in an apprioate manner and avoid devastating consequences.
When your reacting in a negative manner to what someone has said, some part of you
believes what the person has said or else why are you reacting? Why let it bother you if what
the person says is not true. Reacting can be used as a positive tool to find out what you
really think about yourself. If someone says something to you that triggers you, stop yourself
and ask yourself why are you triggered? Why are my buttons been pushed? What am I
believing about myself? The solution is keep the focus on yourself when your buttons have
been pushed. It has nothing to do with the other person and everything to do with you.
REACTING+ BUTTONS BEING PUSHED+AWARNESS=CHANGED BEHAVIORS
15. NEED TO BE RIGHT
People who need to be right are cynical, close off and unreceptive. They are unwilling to hear
another’s point of view. There persistent in there way of thinking, and believes what is true for
them is true for everyone and becoming outraged when people disagree.
The backbone of the need to be right is conflict. Conflict is the only solution if you don’t give up
the need to be right. Right and wrong are tools that are used in the conflict. All forms of the ego.
When the need to be right is triggered it’s usually because of an disagreement and the person
involved will not give up until there right. They will do anything to be right including being
happy. The question is do you want to be happy or be right? When engaging in an argument you
have to stop yourself, step back from the situation and expand your perception. You have to take
responsibility for the part you played in the conflict rather than blaming another.
When resolving a conflict let go of the past and focus on the healing. Try and let go of your ego.
Keep the conflict between the people involved. Don’t tell the story to others, to build alliances
against that person. And, you have to talk, listen don’t react. Respect each others feelings. Ask
yourself if the relationship is important enough to save. Always try to remember when your in a
conflicting situation it’s a chance for growth and an opportunity to learn. Show compassion and
come up with a solution.

16. THE MEANING YOU GIVE THINGS
Your story consist of thought, feelings and actions
THOUGHTS
Thought is nothing more than an notion fabricated in your psyche that sometimes is not
reality.
FEELINGS
Feelings are created by thoughts.
Your feelings create behaviors, and your feeling are a clear indication of what your
thinking.
ACTIONS
Actions are the reactions to your thoughts and feelings.
What you are thinking are thoughts that you have given meaning to. Thoughts have no
meaning unless you give meaning to them. You have to realize that how your feeling can
be changed when you change the meaning you give situations or circumstances. When
you change meanings, thoughts and feeling changes automatically. If your having a
destructive thought and your feeling dreadful, what kind of actions are you going to
express?
SO BE AWARE OF THE MEANING YOU GIVE THINGS BECAUSE USUALLY IT
DOESN’T MEAN ANYTHING.
