(I'm shifting my style for this to short and punchy because my nature is to go on tangents. I'm shooting for clear and concise sections. I asked ChatGPT to help form a structure so I can fill in the blanks and find hidden angles that help it become fully coherent.) - Would love to know if anything specifically resonates for you? - How does this feel as an intro section? Preface: An Invitation, Not an Explanation This book does not ask you to believe anything. It asks you to notice. Most people come to emotional work because something hurts. That is understandable. But pain is not the enemy here. Stuckness is. You are not reading this to eliminate emotions. You are reading this to understand why some of them refuse to leave. This system treats emotions as forces rather than flaws. Not obstacles to overcome. Not puzzles to solve. But motions that want to be completed. You do not need to be calm to begin. You do not need insight. You do not need discipline. You only need enough curiosity to ask: “What is happening in me right now, and what is it trying to do?” If you can ask that honestly, the system will meet you halfway. Nothing in this book requires perfection. Only participation. The Law of Motion Every emotion enters the system to move. To inform. To act. To resolve. When an emotion is allowed to complete its motion, it returns to rest. When it is interrupted, denied, rushed, or frozen, it does not disappear. It stalls. Stalled emotions do not rest. They loop. Motion Is the Natural State Emotions are transient by design. They rise, crest, and fall like breath. Fear prepares. Anger protects. Grief honors. Desire orients. Joy refreshes. Hope steadies. Gratitude grounds. None of these were meant to become permanent residents. When an emotion becomes chronic, something has interrupted its motion. What Stops Motion Motion is interrupted when: - An emotion is judged as unacceptable - Expression is unsafe - Action is forbidden - Meaning is imposed too early

It's been a bit, friends! I've been reacclimating to a drastically different lifestyle in NZ. From freedom to 50-60hr workweeks and little left in the tank to give in the downtime. Seasons change, but my ambitions don't! I aspire to make emotional intelligence more accessible so we can have more aware, intentional, and purposeful lives. I'm trying to mould all my interests of human wellbeing in a spiritual, scientific, experiential and energetic sense into one tangible, universal thread. I present to you: Emotions as a Magic System! The epic @Brendan OCallaghan has begun my cover art behind the scenes. the first drafts have been epic, yet it may evolve in a few playful ways. But he just took it upon himself behind the scenes and surprised me with it on his own terms, so I'm supremely grateful that to have a cover in motion helps the concept feel it has a soul. I'm going to post the entire book piece by piece so we can turn it into a living conversation and stack it all in a new course. It will be FREE here, but eventually published and sold elsewhere. (Our little secret and thanks for being a part of the community. 😎🫶 First and foremost: I'm torn between the Titles: And without knowing more, what impressions do you assume you'd get based off of those title options?

Wanting to show up true to my word and get over performance self-judgement , round 2. More to come! You folks working on anything creative you could share???:)

I've been playing with belief and emotions as magic systems lately. In what way does an emotion manifest in a corrupted or an optimal form? How helpful would it be if I organized the vast slew of emotions with all of their associated function, cost and risk? To rethink the human experience in a more playful way as if experiences and behaviors are spells that we can cast really sparks something within me. I want to make emotional literacy as accessible and understandable as possible - and I haven't seen it done this way yet! We could learn how to cast better spells! Much like Anger: Casting 'Anger' may temporarily boost strength, confidence and sense of justice. While risking the accuracy of delivering your intended harmony. Anger may be an inherently 'chaotic' form of magic, yet it can be tamed and improved upon accuracy if paired with a 'Patience' spell. TOO MUCH patience may counter the strength of Anger, accidentally forming a spell of 'Resentment' or 'pacifism.' There is an appropriate amount of both anger and patience for optimal action and deliver of intended outcome. Ya feel?! I might do an entire thread of these and share the evolutions to communally develop the 'recipes' we could call them. 😆 CHALLENGE: Pick any emotion or behaviour and try to create the function of the 'spell' and what potential cost and gain may universally come from it. Quite a fun, creative practice!

I'll be making WAY more videos! Here is the first of many. What's your ambitions as the world collectively launches to a new beginning together? Let's hit the ground running TODAY. And when we fail tomorrow, it's a new start TODAY again.
