I recently put up a post on Facebook that went simply, “There is a narrow line between fear and excitement. It is up to you which side you walk on, you can choose to be fearful, or you can choose to be excited.” This got a lot of feedback on Facebook so that it was worth a blog post.
Although this may be blatantly obvious, we sometimes need to just be reminded that WE make the decision. There is often a lot of debate on whether or not we control our emotions. This ‘quote’ above came out of something currently with in my own life. My wife and I are expecting our first baby. Sometimes we think to ourselves, “what have we got ourselves into”, and other times we are excited beyond belief. I was sitting one day thinking about this and I knew that the decision was up to me. You may think, “This is a very exciting situation, but it is not the same for my circumstances.” Well, believe me, this is not the only time I’ve applied the ‘decision making’ process to my emotions. Granted it is very difficult to go from sad to happy, but it just takes more practice. Pretty soon you will be able to go from sad to ecstatic. It is contagious too. You can go from sad to filling a whole room with ecstatic people!
There are certain things you can do to condition yourself to be able to change your emotions for the better. Another recent post on Facebook and twitter I said that we should all become more charismatic. Someone asked the question how. Well, doing these simple things will allow you to become more charismatic and by doing so, change your emotions becoming happier.
Steve Siebold speaks about the ‘Rate of Vibration’ (ROV). The rate of vibration is measured by your energy, enthusiasm, confidence, belief, and clarity. The average ROV is around 200 (I’m not too sure exactly how it is calculated, but that is the end figure). Top sales earners have an ROV around 700-800! You can improve your ROV!
Improving ROV:
Energy- get plenty of sleep. Red Bull or coffee does not have a day long effect!
Enthusiasm- listen to your favorite music.
Belief- associate with people with world class beliefs (in my case I joined iLearningGlobal and get a daily dose- make sure you do something to get your beliefs up!)
Clarity- read your vision DAILY!
Improving your ROV will increase your mood daily. Within time when you are upset you will only have to think of ‘that’ favorite song and your emotions will shift!
Leave your comments and let me know what you do to change your emotions when you are down. (comfort eating is NOT recommended!)

I really like the ROV. Thanks. And I have experienced it during the start of any Anthony Robbins events. The higher the vibration the more effective learning. So what I do is to generate my state i.e. the vibration required.

I totally agree with your theory that we have control over our emotions because our emotions are purely evoked by the underlying beliefs that we poses. Most times we are quick to take the position of the victim and we should assume responsibility for our happiness. I strongly recommend stimulus response belief system by Barry Neil Kaufman from the Option Institute. This system is amazing. I have now come to the realization that when I get angry I make myself angry or afraid or excited or sad or happy. I do all of this to myself because of the belief system I with hold. WOW WOW WOW_ Take Back Your POWER! LOve ATAPMAN!
I get that way some times. I find myself so many times in an Abba Song. So I totally related to Momma Mia. I am self employed and trying to get to a point of working on my business and not so much in my business. Music when I am in a emotional down and it is usually personal, I go to U tube and many of my favorites will snap me out of it. I also reread some Jim Rohn or Conversations with God to help me get reentered. Great article.
Great article!
