Emotion: Courageousness – The willingness to move out without fear or hesitation – to do – to correct – to change wherever needed. The willingness to let go – to move on.
According to the law of cause and effect:

Thought (cause) = Emotion (effect)/ Emotion (cause) = Action (effect)

Thinking:
I can; I can get it done; I can listen; I can respond appropirately; I do what’s needed and it works; I know we can; I’ll do what it takes to make it work; I’m willing; I’m willing ot take risks; It can be easy and effortess; It is a s easy as it was hard; It’s possible; let’s work together; We can do it; We’ll find a way; Yes!

Acting
able; aboveboard; adaptive; adventurous; bold; brave; candid collaboration; commitment; compassionate; competent; cooperation; creative; daring; decisive; dedicated; dynamic; enjoyment; exploration; flexible; focused; forthright; gallant; generosity; giving; goodness; gratification; honesty; humorous; initiative; inquiry; insightful; integrity; inventive; motivated; partnering; perceptive; persevering; persistent; playful; pleasure; resourceful; risk-taking; robust; self-sufficient; sharp; solution focused; spontaneous; strong; supportive; tireless; unpretentious; valiant; vigorous

Remember the acronym AGFLAP-CAP:

Apathy/ Grief/ Fear/ Lust/ Anger/ Pride - Courageousness/ Acceptance/ Peace

and monitor how you shift on the scale of action. After the AGFLAP and reactive cycle CAP brings you to the proactive behavior. Often we mix Apathy with Acceptance, Anger with Courageousness and Pride with Peace.

When were you courageous? What worked for you then? What lessons did you learn? How can that experience help you with what you are dealing right now?

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow.” Mary Anne Radmacher

“Over the years I have developed a picture of what a human being living humanely is like. She is a person who understands, values and develops her body, finding it beautiful and useful; a person who is real and is willing to take risks, to be creative, to manifest competence, to change when the situation calls for it, and to find ways to accommodate to what is new and different, keeping that part of the old that is still useful and discarding what is not.” Virginia Satir

Are you a human being living humanely?
