THE POWER LEAK QUIZ
“How Much Are Your Negative Emotions Draining You?”
Question 1: Initial Reactions
When something goes wrong, what’s your initial reaction?
a) I allow myself to feel all of the human emotions, learn from them, and move on.
b) I get angry and dwell on it for hours. (Often oversharing and spreading my drama.)
c) Cry and feel defeated. (Hold a pity party that NO ONE wants to attend.)
d) Get a little stuck in the negativity, but ultimately look for the lesson and learn.
Question 2: Dwelling on the Past
How often do you find yourself replaying past “mistakes” or hurtful experiences in your mind?
a) Rarely, do I choose to focus on the present moment. (I sleep with Eckhart Tolle under my pillow. Okay, seriously, he can’t breathe; perhaps consider placing him on your nightstand… No, wait, that’s creepy too…lol.)
b) Quite often, it’s hard to let go of the past. (I can’t seem to escape the Emotional Boomerangs, those f*ckers hit me in the head on a regular basis.)
c) Constantly, I can’t seem to shake off those memories. (Often, I choose to practice “mental masturbation”… it’s exhausting and not in a fun way!)
d) Occasionally, but understand that I choose to be a lifelong learner. (Yep, that’s one of the Five Gold Goals in the Souls Healing Humanity Society.)
Question 3: Dealing with Criticism
When someone criticizes you, how do you usually react?
a) I pull up my big girl’s britches. (Stretchy pants, NOT Spanx, take it as constructive feedback and see where there’s room for improvement.)
b) Get defensive and retaliate with criticism of my own. (I secretly get out that voodoo doll in the closet and start planning.)
c) Feel hurt and dwell on their words for days. (I often share my drama-filled story with anyone who will listen.)
d) Consider their perspective and recognize there is perhaps a nugget of truth in what they are sharing. Choosing to learn; choosing to love. 💖

How do you handle setbacks or obstacles in your life?
a) Approach them as challenges to learn from. To use Holistic Scaffolding™ to discover and shed the BS programming and BS (Belief System) and align with my True Self.
