Emotional Mastery

Ilene shares her thoughts on why Emotional Mastery is essential now more than ever.

The past two years have shown us how foundational emotional resiliency is to our wellbeing.

Developing Emotional Mastery and Emotional Resiliency is the process of bringing awareness to emotions and learning to work with your emotions as teachers, rather than repressing undesirable emotions.

We now have research statistics to identify the root cause of the top three killers in the U.S—diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Studies show that what causes them to happen in us initially—and to continue accelerated growth—is repressed anger.

One article in The National Institute of Health, National Library of Medicine cites studies documenting the effect of repressed anger on the body. “Frequent suppression (anger-in) and frequent expression (anger-out) of angry emotion have each been associated with a wide range of health complications, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory illness, and musculoskeletal problems, and pain disorders.”

We now know that holding onto repressed anger can kill us.

As a recovered angry person, Ilene Dillon changed the course of her life by developing Emotional Mastery through personal experience.  

Ilene shares three practices that have become part of the fabric of who she is and how she responds to stress and challenging situations. When working with clients, Ilene taps into Emotional Mastery.

1) Before she starts her work with clients, Ilene connects to her Soul, Higher Self, and inner guidance system so she can be of spiritual service. This practice has become automatic and she doesn’t have to focus for long.

2) Ilene works under the premise that we all have lessons to learn. It’s the client’s lesson, not hers, so she doesn’t take it home with her.

3) Ilene sees emotions as positive helpers. “I help myself and my clients as we work with emotions as they’re intended to be used—to decipher lessons brought to use so we can learn.”

“I get it. In my thirties, I believed my anger in the workplace was justified. I blamed the other people involved in my drama who I believed “made me angry.” However, when I looked more deeply, I could see how I had contributed to the situation and was equally at fault. When I practiced Ilene’s three steps, (before I knew her), I was able to release the emotional baggage that was holding me back. My kids might tell you that I’m still working on emotional mastery, but it’s a lifelong endeavor.”

Developing Emotional Resilience in the workplace helps employees be productive, healthier, and happier humans—in the workplace and at home.

To that end, the Resilience series, live panel events will be a quarterly series on resilience for the workplace and for life. Mark your calendars!
