We all want success. This means self-control, good communicators, relate well with others, be liked and respected. Fortunately, Dr Ann’s latest book, “Become Better” shows us how we can do this by using our Emotional Intelligence to control feelings and actions. The key is to use our Emotional Intelligence strategically. w
“Become Better” not only gives us the tools to be more aware of our feelings, but also be able to control them, which allows us to focus on what we want to achieve. “Become Better” provides a road map for all of us who want to develop our skills and be in charge of our lives.
As indicated in Become Better podcast. in this way, we improve our ways of coping and handling uncertainties. Above all, by using these enhanced emotional intelligence skills we can handle new challenges in our future. Plus, it will differentiate us from robots and artificial intelligence that will prevail in our future world.
“In the midst of winter, I found there was within me, an invincible summer” So … “no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – pushing right back.”
-Albert Camus.
This means that we all have our own inner force or “Invincible Summer” that can push back to overcome obstacles so that we make our own choices. Yes, we have our own inner force! Indeed, when someone tries to dictate our lives – we can push back and resist. This allows us to go for what we want.
To do this effectively we need clear messaging and consistent action. As a result, we gain self-worth and self-confidence, and this helps us relate more honestly with others. Using the techniques outlined in “Invincible Summer”, we can reinvent our life- just like an actor!
Indeed, the trick is to take control of our reactions.
There are clearly two possible reactions to a negative event; we can just accept it, or we push back to overcome obstacles. Certainly there are times when it is more expeditious to buckle under, but this cannot be our default reaction. This would negate our personality- especially if this relates to an issue that is important and of high value to us.
It is important to respect our personal own values, and we will increase our awareness, speed up our reactions, focus on the core of issues; all these things help us be clear and get our message across.
Like good gardeners, it is also useful to prune out dead emotions and thoughts that you have held onto- even though they do not represent who you are or what you want.
“MIND OVER MATTER: the power of Emotional Intelligence”
With Mind over Matter we can avoid negativity, lack of self-control , being over anxious and complaining. We can focus on what is important and see the trees for the woods. Then we act in ways that define us-even if nobody is looking!
By using our innate Emotional Intelligence, we can It means we take back control of our key emotions, thoughts, and direct our actions purposively.
Mind Over Matter
Matter is anything that can be touched; it has mass and takes up space. Yet, we have the power to influence “matter” by using our emotional intelligence. This way we can control our feelings and thoughts and balance our rational minds. Success from within.
Our thoughts are generally linked with our emotions, and, indeed, frequently are generated by our feelings. Since we hold on to all emotions in our life, they can often become outdated- hence for good “Mind over Matter” we need to weed out the irrelevant and worthless thoughts so that we can access more appropriate ones.
Patterns of Behavior
When under stress, we are more apt to revert to old patterns- some of which date from our earliest years and do not always work.
Consequently, we need to update how we are feeling -in the now- and base our thoughts on that update. This is vital as data shows that we largely base our choices on emotions that are frequently out of date, rather than make a more rational choice with our thinking process. Fortunately, this book shows how we can do this.
“BRAIN FITNESS:- breakthrough training for those who mind”
New research shows that our brains are not “hardwired” in childhood, but the adult brain can grow and change its structure and function throughout our lives.
Neuroscience clearly demonstrates that we can keep growing our Brains throughout our lives.
Our Brains can change, and we can choose to actively encourage that process. Starting early helps and keeps up our levels of Brain Fitness. But at all ages we can grow and improve our Brains functioning so that we think faster, retain better memory, gain better recognition of our feeling, and better control our feelings and thoughts and consequent actions.
Keeping the Brain Fit is similar to the way we train our bodies. The Brain Fitness techniques are simple, and available to us all.
“BECOME BETTER- by applying Emotional Intelligence”.
Dr Ann Polya demonstrates how Emotional Intelligence enables us to control our feelings and thoughts, and thereby, influence our actions and direct our lives to “Become Better”.
“Become Better” –illustrates how wise use of our emotional intelligence skills enable us to control our thoughts, feelings and actions. This allows us to communicate effectively and improve our performance.
Clearly, the use of our Emotional Intelligence skills keeps them sharp and enables us to compound their growth. Indeed, as Dr Polya points out use of Emotional Intelligence is like the use of our muscles–practice strengthens the skill.
In addition, when used strategically, use of these skills help us recognize our palette of available feelings and their careful selection allows more precise thinking. Consequently, the end result is clearer communication – including better listening- and actions that improve the ways we connect with others.
