• Problems arise when we respond to the impacts ineffectively—typically through some form of avoidance—instead of discovering our potential to transform the emotion.
• The key to transformation lies in responding with the emotional super strength hidden within each emotion.
• With anger the strength is self-mastery; with fear/ personal power; with sadness/ acceptance; with joy/ gratefulness.
• The workshop concludes with the Emotional Plan for Daily Living—a set of four principles that help integrate their super strengths into an overall approach to life.
