Hey everyone, Tom here, a quick word before we begin.

This episode is going live in February 2022, once again, Happy New Year.

Right after the first of the year this year, I had some major surgery.

My recovery has been amazingly smooth, physically I'm almost at 100% already, but in terms

of stamina and mental acuity, not so much.

As a consequence, I was not able to create an entire episode from scratch.

What I've done is I've reached back five years in the archive and I've repurposed an episode

for you.

Back when it was first broadcast, the episode was called combating emotional hijacks.

I know a lot of you found the episode really helpful, I think you'll find it worth revisiting

now.

The current version is retitled seven steps to stop emotional hijacks.

To support the episode, we've created a new PDF laying out the seven steps that are

going to help you master your emotional hijacks.

You can get the PDF for free.

It's on the Central Communications website, essentialcom.com.

It's essentialcom with 2ms.com.

Look for the Resources tab and the PDF is in the tools bin, along with all the other

PDFs.

They're all there for you for free.

Help yourself.

OK, I'll be back briefly a little later in the episode to share this month's current
