Hello citehr community,
I have been on citehr for quite sometime although had not been very active on it although I have been extensively active of facebook.
As an NLP trainer I come across people going through various phases of life and having worked with them I felt that many of us face situations when we wish we had more emotional strength, when the demands of daily life take such a toll on us that we feel emotionally drained even if we don't feel it physically in our bodies.
And this is but natural for most human beings. They finish their days and hope that after a good sleep they will have the energy to go through all of it all over again.
Even if you are someone who does not get stressed, you cannot deny the fact that just like physical fitness is important for continued well being and physical health, so also emotional fitness is crucial for ongoing personal well being.
Emotions can be considered just like muscles in the body. The muscles which you exercise more, will develop more strength, more stamina and more endurance. The ones you don't exercise, could shrivel if not under-develop. Anyone into physical fitness knows that it is important to exercise all the muscles equitably for overall development.
What happens with our emotional muscles is - many a times we exercise a few of our emotional muscles and strengthen them leaving the other muscles underdeveloped. For example many people over develop anger, fear, anxiety, sadness while leaving out the development of happiness, love, compassion.
All physical fitness enthusiasts know that your form when you exercise, is very important. Similarly, when working your emotional muscles - form is crucial to how you develop them. With incorrect form, you may end up developing these muscles in a way that may be detrimental to your well being in the long run.
Just like you need to nourish your body with healthy food, so also you need to nourish your emotions with healthy thoughts & ideas.
If this makes sense to you and if you would like to know how you can start developing emotional strength, stamina and endurance, then I will be sharing with you a 30 days course of exercises of the mind. If you want what you desire, then you need to COMMIT yourself to doing these exercises. This will require no more than 10 minutes each day.
Remember that any good physical fitness regimen will include warm-up, stretching, cardio-vascular, weights, stretching and cool down, so also the emotional gymming will include a variety of exercises of your mind.
Also remember, that you need to do your own pushups for your fitness.
Starting later today - I will be posting one exercise per day to this thread for 30 days. You will need to do this exercise as per the instructions. If you have any questions on the instructions, please feel free to write to me.

Emotional Fitness Gym - Day 1
The very first step in developing emotional fitness is to recognize your own rhythm and synchronizing yourself to it. Follow the below instructions and do this exercise for 5 to 10 minutes. You can do this when you start the day, just before you sleep for the next day, or you can even do it any time during the day when you can spare 5 to 10 minutes in isolation and without disturbance for these minutes.
a) First and foremost, place your palm over your heart and start feeling your heartbeat. Your heart is the core of your rhythm and this exercise will help synchronize your entire body & mind with its core rhythm. When starting this for the first time, some people might find it difficult to feel their heartbeat. Continue with sensing for your heartbeat and wind up the exercise when your 10 minutes are over. It will not takee more than 2 or 3 days of practise before you can easily sense your hearbeat the moment you place your palm on your chest.
b) Once you are able to sense your heartbeat, start noticing your hear beat in a series of counts as follows
3 beats, 2 beats, 5 beats
c) Once you are able to notice the heart beats in these counts, then start pacing your breath so that you very slowly inhale for 3 heart beats, ten hold your breath for 2 heart beats and then very slowly exhale for 5 heart beats. While doing this, if you eyes close automatically, just allow it to happen.
Do this till you complete your ten minutes. You can set a stop watch just before you start this exercise so that it will notify you when the 10 minutes are over. Over a period of time, you will not need any stop watch.
Do this exercise today. Do it Now, or Do it when you find 10 minutes to spare in isolation.
When the breathing with these counts become very easy, you can slowly increase it to 5 beats for inhale, 2 beats for hold and 7 beats for exhale.
When it becomes easy even with these counts, then you can increase it to 7 beats for inhale, 3 beats for hold and 11 beats for exhale.
Tomorrow I will return with a questionnaire that will help you evaluate your emotional inventory.
