Gill Edwards: the emotional ladder

The emotional ladder, as described in  Gill Edwards'  book, Life is a Gift (page 44):

• Love, joy, passion, trust, gratitude, vision, enthusiasm, clarity, intuitive knowing, freedom, empowerment
• Optimism
• Hope, contentment
• Pessimism, boredom
• Frustration, irritation, impatience
• Overwhelm, worry, disappointment, doubt
• Blame, anger, self-righteousness
• Hatred, rage, envy, jealousy, need to control
• Guilt, insecurity, feeling unworthy, self-sacrifice, feeling trapped or controlled
• Fear, grief, dis-empowerment, depression, despair

Gill says it's unrealistic to go from  the bottom of the ladder to the top in just one step; we may need to go one step at a time...
