What Moves You?

As humans, we're moved on our emotions! We see something, it evokes feelings and we take action!  We hear something; it evokes an emotion we take action!  We smell something, it evokes an emotion, then yet again, we proceed with a specific action! 

What Moves You?


The Plutchik's Theory of Emotion states there are only eight primary emotional states:
1. Anger
2. Fear
3. Sadness
4. Disgust
5. Surprise
6. Anticipation
7. Trust
8. Joy



Once again, what moves you?  What emotions are pushing you into action? 

Are your action primarily based on the emotion of fear, surprise or disgust?  You only decided to stay in your current career because you're fearful of not making enough money to feed your family? Or do you trust yourself and your talents enough to start your own business? 

To thrive and move pass merely surviving, we must move from a place of Trust, Joy, and Anticipation.  Many of us are living within the emotions of Fear, Anger, and Disgust.   

Staying in a unhealthy relationship, due to the fear of not being desirable to any other person, isn't living! It's holding us hostage, to continuously experience the emotions of Panic, Terror, Timidity, and Apprehension (refer to emotion graphic).  

Being overly distracted (state of surprise) by television and pop culture, instead of proactively learning how to manage your finances will not benefit your wallet. Your relationship with money is perpetually dwelling in Uncertainty (refer to emotion graphic)

With two more weeks before 2018, it's time to take action and evaluate our emotions and learn precisely...
