Feeling intense negative emotions can be overwhelming; and when it comes to stress relief - although CMT is powerful, sometimes it isn't enough to pull you out of the quagmire of stress; fear; anxiety; sadness; anger; or any of the other overpowering emotional states.
We've created this page to help you to take control of your emotional state in the moment, and get to the point where you're able to use CMT to make the permanent changes that will free you from the negative patterns that are causing the triggers.
We've created this page to help you to take control of your emotional state in the moment, and get to the point where you're able to use CMT to make the permanent changes that will free you from the negative patterns that are causing the triggers.
Why?
Pulling yourself out of the intense negative emotions you're experiencing is about more than just feeling better.
When you are feeling any kind of negative emotion, you are in a level of the fight-freeze-flight state - and that means that whenever you're feeling any kind of negative emotion:
* Blood is being pumped away from your organs, to your extremities (for running away or fighting)
* Digestion slows down
* Healing slows down
* The prefrontal cortex of your brain (where you do your cognitive thinking - problem-solving; strategizing; processing of information; and so much more) shuts down (because it's not necessary for running away or fighting). This means that when you're feeling stressed, or any other negative emotion, you're literally not thinking clearly - because that part of your brain is offline!
This makes it a top priority to do whatever it takes to pull yourself out of the negative emotions, and into a state of feeling good - so that you're able to see things more clearly.

V.I.P. (Very Important Points)
- What you are feeling - as real as it seems (and it seems very real) - is literally just chemicals in your bloodstream: adrenaline; cortisol, and other stress chemicals.
- Your body follows your mind. When you're focused on "bad" stuff, your brain is - in that very moment - pumping more of those stress chemicals into your bloodstream. When you focus on fun, funny, uplifting or other "good" stuff - in that very moment - your brain and organs are pumping endorphins, oxytocin, and other "feel good" chemicals into your bloodstream.
- As the "feel good" chemicals flood your bloodstream, they will dilute the stress chemicals, and eventually you will start to feel the difference in your emotions.
- Stress chemicals are designed to be more powerful (so that we pay attention to them and survive ;) ) - so it takes a lot more "feel good" chemicals to dilute the stress chemicals, than it does the other way around! So it's important to bear this in mind, and allow yourself more time, focusing on the good stuff in order to change the chemical state in your body.
- This one is worth repeating: No matter what you're feeling right now - although it feels real, it is Just Chemicals! And you can change those chemicals - taking control over your physiological state - by using the power of your brain through your focus! Wherever you put your focus will determine what chemicals are being pumped into your bloodstream!

As we pulled into the parking lot, we saw a couple of people looking under the hood of their car. Concerned, Mom wondered aloud, "Do you think they have a flat tire?"

While taking stock of our products, I read aloud the final numbers to my boss. As he entered each one into a calculator, I deleted it off my mobile device. Only after I’d finished did we realize that he had entered the numbers on his desk phone’s keypad.

Penn Jillette, the chatty half of the magic duo Penn & Teller, shared with us his favorite clean joke:
Two racehorses are in a stable. One says to the other, “You know, before that last race …”
“The one that you won?” asks the other horse.
“Yeah, before that race, I felt a pinch in my hindquarters.”
The other horse says, “Funny, I felt a pinch in my hindquarters before the race that I won.”
A dog walking by says, “You idiots, you’re being doped. They’re injecting you with a drug to make you faster!”
The first horse turns to the other and says, “Hey, a talking dog!”

Stuck in rush-hour traffic, I couldn't help but stare when a burly biker wearing black leather jacket and chaps pulled up next to me on a shocking pink Harley Davidson. My first thoughts were, "Is that really a pink Harley? I wonder if he's…"
Just then the traffic cleared and he pulled in front of me. On the back of his helmet were stenciled the words "Yes it is. No I'm not."
