Now I know all those videos were more theoretical, less application based than all my other videos.
And on the one hand, again, I'm sorry for this, that I haven't reached this emotional mastery myself.
But maybe also it's much better this way because emotional mastery can only be achieved by yourself.
And if you watch two key pillars to watch out for, maybe like this, you can build much stronger emotional
mastery than if I would have already achieved this myself.
We don't know what.
So what are those four pillars again?
And what does it mean for quick boosts and long term strategy?
The first key was self-compassion, and that's simply the idea of treating yourself like your own best
friend with kindness, with respect, but also keeping yourself accountable if you're messing up.
Not too harshly, but just.
Hey, buddy, we can do better.
And the quick boost if something bad happens to you or you mess up is the face technique.
Sit down for a second.
Feel the pain, accept it.
Treat yourself with compassion and then stop the downward spiral.
The second key aspect we talked about for emotional mastery is loving kindness.
Because emotions is not just about us, it's actually mainly about other people.
So the practice of wishing others well, of doing kindness to others, of accepting them as they are.
And there's also a quick boost for you if you're in a situation where you feel highly anxious and really,
if you haven't done so, try it out.
There's a small group setting.
You feel uncomfortable.
Just quickly go through the people.
You don't have to stare them.
You're just like, Hey, I can even look at the people talking and then just focus on the one person
sitting here a tiny bit and wish them well one by one.
And you'll notice how your anxiety eases by a whole lot.
The third aspect is raw emotions, meaning letting yourself feel the way you are, and if you're feeling
bad, that's okay.
And the short term boost here is talking to a friend you can highly trust to let go the same, because
if you don't share it, it will just creep up in the dark and will be there much, much longer.
And the final aspect, which was enjoying life, well, you balance the short term and the long term
for a highly fulfilled life.
And if you combine those two self-compassion, loving kindness, raw emotions, and then also enjoying
life, I think you've got some pretty, pretty strong foundations for emotional mastery.
