Centre for Emotional Education

Many fall badly short of realising their potential and living the lives they want because they believe the self-defeating thoughts and beliefs that churn around in the mind and often cause them to have uncomfortable feelings

We aren’t taught about emotions in schools or colleges. Most of us don’t get much education about emotions at home while growing up. Much of what we learn is trial and error, but without guides to know what is error!

There are a wide range of research studies that strongly support the need for people to understand their emotions and express them in healthy ways. Not doing so can be damaging to your health, wellbeing, and relationships

“In order to move on, you must understand why you felt what you did and why you no longer need to feel it.”
― Mitch Albom

A sense of fulfilment in life is central to feeling that you are making the most of your life. It let's us know we are on the right path, it supports resilience, and it provides confidence.

Finding a purpose for our lives not only gives our lives meaning but it also gives us a reason - and makes it easier - to make the changes to live the life we want

Entering adulthood is a strange experience of societal emotional neglect, where a person’s emotional needs are consistently disregarded, ignored, or unappreciated by the people, organisations, and institutions of our society

To face your fears you need to have a purpose in life that acts as a sign post to know which direction you need to take, no matter how difficult it may be to go in

Without awareness of our emotions we are dominated by them. Our responses are automatic. We may also be blind to the emotions of others

Too many achieve what they have striven for and yet, in the quiet moments they feel empty, that life seems pointless – is this all there is? The answer is yes, if you look in the right place
