What Is Emotional Energy?

• Where you leak energy through negative emotional states.
• The brain uses 20% of total body energy; muscles another 20%; organs distribute the rest.
• Negative emotional states → higher cortisol → suppressed beneficial hormones → increased immune activation → more energy drain.
• Yale research found emotional state impacts detoxification and disease risk more than smoking alone.
• Chinese medicine associations:
  • Liver = anger/frustration
  • Lungs = grief
  • Spleen/pancreas = anxiety

Emotional Energy & Menopause Symptoms

• Negative emotions increase cortisol → suppress hormone balance → worsen symptoms.
• Being stuck in sympathetic (“alert, wired, stressed”) mode blocks the parasympathetic (“healing”) state.
• Emotional patterns can amplify symptoms even when labs, lifestyle, and hormones seem “dialed in.”

What Is the GEM Wearable?

• GEM = Guided Energy Management

From Overwhelm to Alignment: Harnessing Emotional Energy in Midlife

What is the GIST Process?

• GIST
  • Gratitude: Puts you into receivership; builds positivity.
  • Intention: Clear, expansive daily intentions.
  • Surrender: Release the “how”; allow life/universe to support.
  • Trust: The hardest step — especially after setbacks.
• Works best when balanced across four quadrants:
  • Social
  • Self
  • Health
  • Wealth

How Women Can “Flip the Switch” on Emotional Patterns

• Step 1: Awareness. Many don’t know their emotional state.
• Step 2: Know what positive emotion is the opposite of the negative one.
• Step 3: When triggered → Pause. Don’t react. Return later with clarity.
• Step 4: Journaling to process, reframe, and decide on a better response.

Why Writing Matters

• Handwriting helps process thoughts more deeply.
• The value is in writing, not in reviewing old notes.

A Quick 2-Minute Emotional Energy Reset

• Breathwork is the fastest shift.
• Slow your breathing → calm the nervous system.
• No fancy methods needed — just slow, deep breaths.
