You Don't Have Emotions, You Use Them (ft. Matt Young)

from The Vibe With Ky Podcast · host The Vibe With Ky

In this episode of The Vibe With Ky Podcast, UK coach Matt Young explains why you don't have emotions, you use them, and how that single shift changes everything.If you have ever felt like your anxiety, your anger, or your overwhelm is just who you are and there is nothing you can do about it, this conversation was made for you.Matt Young is a UK-based emotional freedom coach who spent eight years as a professional footballer before running 17 ultra marathons and building a coaching practice that has helped thousands of people around the world break free from the emotions holding them back. His core philosophy flips the script on how most of us think about our inner world: we do not have emotions, we use them. Every limiting emotion, including anxiety, fear, and anger, is being used by the brain to serve a purpose, and the moment you understand that purpose, you stop being a passenger in your own life.In this episode, Matt and Ky dig into why feeling stuck has nothing to do with your circumstances and everything to do with the meaning you assign to them. They also get into the body-mind connection, the identity trap that keeps people caged inside a single emotion, and what it actually looks like to move from blame to ownership.Here is what you will walk away with:Why anxiety is not something you have, it is something you are using, and how to figure out what it is doing for you.How attaching your identity to an emotion quietly shrinks your entire world without you noticing.Why 80 percent of the neural pathways that regulate your nervous system run from body to brain, meaning your posture and breathing are shaping your emotional state more than your thoughts are.How to stop waiting for your circumstances to change before you allow yourself to feel differently.Check out Matt's free Five Day Mindset Shift, five days of short daily videos sent straight to your inbox:https://www.mattyounglc.com/5daymindsetshiftFind Matt here:mattyounglc.cominstagram.com/mattyounglcfacebook.com/madeinthemindlinkedin.com/in/matt-young-mitmSupport the show and keep up with Ky:Website and blog: https://thevibewithky.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/thevibewithkySubscribe for $5 a month for exclusive episodes, behind-the-scenes content, and the Reverse The Mic segment from this episode, where Matt puts Ky in the hot seat.
