Many people contact our company and tell us that they feel stalled in their life, that there are too many stressful situations to manage and that suffering is a condition of their existence.
Advancing in life with the feeling of being overwhelmed is not healthy, neither for the mind nor for the body, and even less for relationships that suffer the reactions of the inner discomforts of those who carry them.
Whether they are managers or housewives, it seems that the living conditions of human beings, at least in the West, have not so human anymore! But let’s try to deepen this dynamic together, not so much looking for the causes that are certainly evident and under our eyes, but rather we try to understand what happens inside us when we feel the sense of disorientation and we are unable to have clarity for our future.
The feeling of no longer understanding what you want and what direction to give to your life generates two types of reactions: on the one hand you would like to escape from situations (for example change job and leave everything behind), and on the other you advance in inertia by pushing in the direction from which you would like to escape.
This phenomenon occurs when the mind tries to maintain control and govern situations, through a calculation that rests on gain and loss and pushes us to cling tenaciously to what causes discomfort, most of the time precisely for fear of losing. It is scary for the mind to let go of something known and apparently safe. It means getting out of the comfort zone and exposing to the unknown, it’s like taking a step towards a precipice!
This is where emotions come in!
Emotions are underestimated by most people, while many express a desire to feel more secure, confident and determined, most people spontaneously feel emotions of insecurity, frustration, anxiety and fear.
How is it possible that the mind wants emotional well-being and that the body lives in emotional malaise? It is like being sitting on a horse, where the jockey wants to go forward and the horse goes backwards!
It is precisely the emotions that determine the quality of our life, the ability we have to transform discomfort into well-being, allows us to move forward safely and confidently in our evolutionary path. The mind, which we can represent with the jockey, can do very little if the horse, our body, has decided not to come with us! Sure, the jockey can push or beat the horse, but he won’t get great results. Indeed, at worst the horse will overthrow the jockey! How the body creates symptoms and behaviors that damage our ability to act and decide!
But this naturally raises an important question: how can we transform emotional distress into well-being and create greater harmony and alignment between mind and body? Between our thoughts and our emotions? How can we create greater cooperation between the rider and the horse?
Today, there are coaching techniques designed to help people develop greater awareness and regulation of their emotional states. These are what we call neuro-emotional skills: abilities that can be developed through specific Neuro-Emotional Coaching programmes. Like any skill, once learned and consistently practised, they can gradually become a more natural part of the way we respond to everyday life.
Neuro-Emotional Coaching offers a different perspective from traditional coaching approaches that focus primarily on cognitive and mental strategies. It also involves working with the body, emotional awareness and the nervous system, with the aim of helping mind and body work together in greater alignment and in the same direction.
If you feel tired of simply moving through life on autopilot, if you feel stuck or overwhelmed by circumstances, or if difficult emotional states and stress are becoming hard to manage, I recommend reading my book NEURO-EMOTIONAL TRANSFORMATION, written by Claudia Vece, CEO of Quantasia.
The book can help you gain greater clarity and introduce you to practical strategies for beginning a journey towards greater emotional awareness, balance and well-being.
If, instead, you are looking for a deeper and more structured process of change, you can arrange a no-obligation introductory meeting with us. We will explain how our 20-week Neuro-Emotional Coaching transformation programme works and explore whether it is suitable for your goals.
Don’t wait for tomorrow to begin creating change. Life happens here and now: choose to take action, starting from within.
