Analyze the Source of Your Present Feelings I Robert Greene

this is the single most powerful thing

you can learn in your life what you need

to do is when you have a feeling let's

say for me often anger frustration

irritation excitement love whatever it

is you want to stop yourself and look at

it with a degree of Detachment and you

want to say all right I'm feeling this

anger now in the moment where is it

coming from I think it was triggered by

what this person said but maybe it isn't

let me analyze it let me see if perhaps

it might have come from a convers ation

in the morning with my girlfriend or

boyfriend or perhaps it has to do with

something that happened a week ago or

maybe it has something to do with some

issue in my childhood whatever it is you

want that power whenever you feel a

strong emotion to be able to step back

and analyze and tell yourself what is it

that I'm really feeling in the moment

and look at it perhaps from another

angle almost as if you were looking at

it as if you were another person looking

inside your own brain your own body
