Feedback on the Program
“After I processed my feelings and asked my questions, like “Okay, I'm having these emotions and this tension, what do I need?” “What am I not getting and what can I do about it?” “What kind of information is this emotion telling me?” It’s the need for reconnecting!
So as soon as I identified the things that were causing the emotions, my tension headaches went away and my depression went away. It was awesome! I think it’s a great program. I’m going to share it with my women’s group.”
“I’ve been working through the program for a couple weeks now and have experienced so much clarity and growth in that short time!”
“I feel like I’ve been reacting to reruns, but now I’m able to be more in touch with what’s actually happening in the present. I haven’t had the same overwhelming emotional responses I was used to having. There has been some big ‘aha’ moments.”
“I’m noticing patterns from the past from how I was treated and realizing it wasn’t my fault. The shame I’ve felt has gone down a lot.”
“I have been having a lot of success in overcoming some of my issues from your help along with the EmotionFit program, thank you so much for that! It has been making a world of difference and life much more enjoyable”
Format
In Level I, the Foundations program, we teach you the essentials of emotional fitness: (1) directing awareness, (2) identifying triggers, and (3) processing emotion. This guided, fillable journal will help you build emotional strength and flexibility so you can overcome symptoms and harness the energy and clarity of your emotions.
This emotional fitness program is organized into three essential skills separated into three days. For each day, you’ll learn about the skill, practice three exercises to train the “how” of the skill, and review the “why” of the skill.
You’ll also find a list of the exercises in the review section of each skill, so you can reference that as a reminder for the future. You can find all the skills and associated exercises listed in the Emotional Fitness Program at the end of this manual.
Practice
This program works best in a three time per week rhythm. For example, most will practice Monday (skill #1), Wednesday (skill #2), and Friday (skill #3), with one skill for each day. Then the following Monday, they’ll return to skill #1, and continue this pattern for Wednesday and Friday.
Most find that they continue to improve with regular practice. We recommend sticking with this Foundations program for 8-12 weeks in order to get the most benefit in ingraining these patterns and strengthening skills.
Two future programs (Barriers & Relationships) will build on the Foundations program by each offering 3 additional skills, with three exercises each, also with a recommended 8-12 week commitment. That way, you can cycle through these 3 programs (9 skills, 27 exercises) in 6-12 month intervals as part of a comprehensive emotional fitness practice. This kind of practice would leave you emotionally strong, connected, and bulletproof to emotional injury.
Additional Programs
In the Barriers program, specific guided exercises train you to identify and overcome the primary blocks to emotional fitness. This program teaches you the next three skills of emotional fitness: (4) calming anxiety, (5) overcoming defenses, and (6) removing walls. If you have been getting stuck in the Foundations (Level I) program, this program will show you why and outline exactly how to take the next step.
In this program, we complete your emotional fitness training by focusing on how emotional patterns are expressed in relationships and how they originated in past relationships. Specifically, we’ll teach you the final three of the nine skills of emotional fitness: (7) understanding patterns, (8) connecting to the past, and (9) healing at the core.
This full program includes all nine skills of emotional fitness, including Level I, II, and III of the EmotionFit Program. In Level I, the Foundations program, we teach you the essentials of emotional fitness. In the Barriers program, we show you how to identify and overcome the primary blocks to emotional fitness. Finally, in the Relationships program, we complete your emotional fitness training by focusing on how emotional patterns are expressed in relationships and how they originated in past relationships.
