Emotional Readiness

I have found that as my vision and life expand, there is a greater and greater need for my emotional readiness. (i.e. expanded emotional capacities and greater emotional sturdiness and spiritual maturity)

I am talking about being mentally fit which in my mind is the precursor for emotional readiness. I have found that often with the women I work with that it appears when all of a sudden opportunities arise. 😲 And then what????

They must be emotionally ready to handle the opportunity and that starts with training mentally (very different than academically). This does not mean more information collected, but rather transformation acquired. In other words – not what to think, but how to think…for yourself. How to respond vs. react.

And that takes training – especially since as women, we are often serving so many that we live in accordance with what everyone else wants or needs from us. So I hate to say it, but we can be weak decision-makers, terrible at self-care, and blown off our own courses by everyone else’s needs then grow resentful and victimized. We must learn to take responsibility for our own health and happiness. I know that may be a shocker and though we may have taken on the responsibility for everyone around us to do well, NO ONE is responsible for YOU but YOU! So this, my friend, is the no blame zone which is the beginning of great things for you. How do we get there?

As I have mentioned in the past, mental fitness can be compared to physical fitness in that it can be measured with the 5 components used in physical fitness.

Power – ability to exert force in the moment
Endurance – ability to sustain effort
Strength – ability to handle a certain load
Flexibility – ability to bend or flex
Recovery – length of time needed to rebound from stress

Now let’s think in terms of mental fitness:
Power – How much focus can you call to mind at any moment?
Endurance – How long can you stay with a problem or project without losing control or concentration or being distracted?
Strength – What level of emotional and mental challenge can you handle and healthy boundaries can you maintain?
Flexibility – How capable are you of seeing another’s point of view or adapting to unforeseen circumstances with grace and ease?
Recovery – How long does it take you to recover mentally and emotionally from a “setback”?

By training mentally, you also prepare emotionally to handle more and more with less and less effort.

Many times we don’t have what we want in life because we are not ready to handle it.

Are you ready to handle the vision or dream you have? If someone were to give you everything you wished for right now…could you handle it??

With a big vision for 2022 ahead for me, I know I have got to be diligent in training my mind to be able to handle what’s coming. 🙂

We do so much inner work here because getting the circumstances of a preferred chapter in place is really not the issue but rather the ability to handle it. Honestly, you’d be shocked at how many people have the talent and even opportunities to do great things but lack the mental fitness and emotional readiness so they do not even recognize prosperity when it comes, or worse yet, freak out and self-sabotage in fear.  May that never be said of you.

“Spiritual maturity is seeing and seizing God-ordained opportunities.” (M. Batterson) and especially the opportunities within the obstacles.

It’s not too late to join us for our FREE 5 day ReInvent Your Life Training this week by clicking this link and see if you don’t get a little more about what I am talking about.

Don’t let anyone tell you differently. There is a bright future available to us all.

However, it really is up to you to see it and seize it. But it’s not just wishful thinking. It is training your mind and readying your emotions to see it with eyes of faith and readiness of mind and emotions.

To your emotional readiness.
