Be honest with yourself in this exercise and find out what your particular emotional patterns are. On a piece of paper make two columns. The left column would be wide enough just for one word, and the right column would be wide enough for a description. In the left column right down the emotion that you find yourself feeling most often. If it is a negative emotion, this is fine. The purpose of this exercise is to find out where you are right now, so that you can then proceed from here. In the right hand column, list any thoughts that might accompany this emotion. These might be the triggering thoughts that cause the emotion to begin with. You might hear this dialogue after you feel the emotion, but it did precede the emotion even though you may not have been aware of it. These are the thoughts that you will need to work with in order to also change the emotional body. The two go hand-in-hand. Do this with all the emotions that you feel most often. Find out what the mind-emotion connection is.

To further this exercise, on a separate piece of paper describe the childhood situation where you think this emotional pattern may have been learned.
