The Emotional Labor of Leaving Your Comfort Zone, with guest Phil Johnson

Episode 66 Think if your amygdala as a very frightened 4-year-old child that needs guidance. Developing your emotional intelligence acts like a Big Brother or a Big Sister to quiet that response down and better enables you to feel anxiety change to innovation. This allows you to move through your emotional response towards what you’re trying to achieve as opposed to allowing that anxiety to keep you stuck in your comfort zone. In today’s fast-moving life, we are all being ripped out of our comfort zones, whether we like it or not. The development of your emotional intelligence is an essential part of our progress in managing these changes. Things are changing so quickly that your reality this minute is not going to be the same as your reality 2-minutes from now. For the most part, people that are motivated to change are motivated by pain. You are motivated by an urgent desire for better results than you are currently getting. The exponentially accelerating rate of change and the fact that biologically you have a 500-million-year-old brain, the amygdala, which operates very much like it did 500,000,000 years ago. You have the ability to choose to develop your emotional intelligence as a way of dealing with the fear and anxiety that these changes will create. That fear and anxiety is unavoidable, it's baked in, it's biological. Developing your EI (Emotional Intelligence) is how you take back your control, your choices, and your life.
