Empowering Emotions

"Some emotions are empowering and free your talent and skill; other emotions are disempowering and lock your potential out. Empowering emotions are those associated with challenge, drive, determination, positive fight, energy, spirit, persistence and fun. Disempowering emotions are those associated feelings of fatigue, helplessness, insecurity, low energy, weakness, fear, and confusion. The reason emotion is so important is its connection to arousal. Emotions are biochemical events in the brain that can lead to a cascade of powerful changes in the body."
(taken from The New Toughness Training For Sports by James Loehr Ed.D.)
