1126: Master Controlling Your Emotions, Be Responsible For Your Happiness, And Love Yourself with Transformative Coach Matt Traverso

Ever feel like life's throwing punches, and your emotions are just along for the ride? You might be tired, stressed, anxious – the whole package. And on top of that, maybe you feel you're falling short of your potential. But here's the surprising truth: the source of that stress, frustration, and unhappiness often lies not in what's happening around us but in how we think about it. The good news? We have the power to change the narrative. By taking control of our thoughts and perspectives, we can shape our emotional experiences. Take responsibility for your happiness, and be true to yourself. This is where the real transformation begins.

Matt Traverso is a transformative coach with over 25 years of experience. He works with CEOs, athletes, entrepreneurs, and everyday people, helping them unlock their potential, own their power, master their emotions, and live their best lives. Today, Matt discusses his book "Unlock Your Potential," which focuses on developing a robust psychology to navigate life's challenges and turn them into beneficial experiences.

Quotes

“If we remind ourselves that it's just an illusion we're caught in, making us believe that the situation, environment, people, or circumstances are causing our stress, we'll see it's not true. It cannot be true because we don't even experience the world directly. It's always through the middleman, the intermediary, the filter—our thinking—that separates us from everything else.” – Matt Traverso

"Success is how well you enjoy the minutes. Once you become a master and an expert at enjoying the minutes, you know who you are, and you understand all emotions." – Matt Traverso

“We don't need to control what we are not afraid of.” – Matt Traverso
