038: The Neutrality of Circumstances

The Neutrality of Circumstances

This month, I’m taking a week for each of the components of the thought model as developed by my coach, Brooke Castillo (and I can’t recommend her podcast highly enough: www.thelifecoachschool.com; she has literally changed my life). Brooke created the thought model as a combination of various thought leaders and teachers she studied early in her career as a life coach; here is the big picture of this model:

Circumstance

With any situation in your life, you have a neutral circumstance. This is the fact of the situation, devoid of any emotion or bias. The circumstance is the only part of the thought model over which you have no control – and that’s great news.

Thought

This is your thought about that circumstance. The sentence in your head.

Feeling

This is your emotion about the thought you’re having.

Action

This is the step you take – the action – based on the thought you’re having and the feeling that thought generated. It can also be a reaction or inaction.

Result

This is the result you achieve based on the action, inaction, or reaction.
