Oh, gosh. To me, that's the most important thing. I genuinely believe that we can have a healthier relationship with productivity if we have a healthier relationship with our emotions. And what does that mean? That means being able to identify, acknowledge, understand, and manage difficult emotions. Uh, difficult emotions are a really powerful motivator for all of this unhealthy behavior, right?

Perfectionism is fear, shame, guilt, um, the fear of missing out the inner critic, judgment, criticism, all of these negative emotions are driving us towards this unhealthy productivity.

But if we can learn to really acknowledge and understand our emotions, if we can learn to hear the message that they're giving us, because all emotions are giving us some messaging, then we can really find our way back to a healthy productivity. Because then we're not going to be so reactive anymore. When we are emotionally driven, we are reactive. We are reacting to the circumstance.

We are reacting to our emotions. So we're not very intentional, right? We don't make choices. We have reactions. But if we can not be overwhelmed by our emotions, we can hear them, we can process them, we can talk ourselves through it, then we become proactive in our life. Then we make choices. Then we can be intentional. The things we engage in become decisions. So we tap out of this autopilot.

And I think that does require emotional awareness. And so I hope that through this book and the work that I do, my other writings, my hope really is that this is a gateway for people to learn how to identify and manage difficult emotions. I think emotional awareness is the foundation cornerstone of our happiness and our wellbeing.
