Emotional Intelligence
Developing Emotional Intelligence - How important is it.
We have got a lot of emotions in us. We are not saints or
sages not to have them right? Even if we are at the age of 25 or 45 or 65, we
have got the remainder of life to make it pleasant. We all know that it is very
difficult, rather not possible to change the attitude of others unless they
wish to, but we can change our own attitude towards them by overcoming our
emotions. Is this small logic not sufficient to make ourselves super pleasant
and peaceful? It becomes our own responsibility to make the remainder of our
life beautiful. Yeah, taking a few steps, we can absolutely fill our normal
life with pleasantness and thus peacefulness.
It is very important for us to identify what emotions we are
dominated with. It may be from the list of positive emotions that give pleasure
while experiencing love, joy, satisfaction, interest, contentment, gratitude
etc.? Or it may be from the list of negative emotions that give unpleasant
feelings while experiencing fear, hatred, anger, resentment, sadness,
loneliness, annoyance etc.? We need to understand one important thing:
sometimes the negative emotions encourage us to act accordingly, and help us
grow and develop. We need to experience the negative emotion but not stay with
it for a long time. It is here we need to make ourselves more intelligent in
dealing with it. IS IT SO EASY TO overcome the negative emotions? No, It is
difficult but not unachievable. Only when we start taking steps towards it, do
we change our perception.
Some of you who are reading this may be stuck with
some of those negative emotions. If not dealt with, you go deeper into it and
get hurt more.
Deriving Happiness - Is It So Easy.
#Happiness has a lot of significance in our lives. We focus most of our life doing VERY BIG THINGS like setting up a business, getting a good job, earning lots of money, building a multi-storey house, achieving dreams/lifegoals etc. to accomplish such happiness. That’s really great but realizing that with VERY SMALL ACTIVITIES also we can achieve cent percent happiness is worth living our life to the fullest.
We can define our own happiness. It's definition is different for each of us. Right from morning till we go to sleep there are many things that can make us happy.
Waking our kids up with a sweet smile, greeting them a happy morning.
Embracing them after they return from school or after we return from work.
Having a leisure dinner with family.
On Sunday, watching a movie on OTT or playing a game with our family.
Visiting a temple once in a while, sitting there for sometime peacefully with our family.
Talking on the phone with our parents at least for a minute daily to find how they are.
Watering a plant, watching a flower blooming in our garden, a bird/butterfly seeking the honey from a flower.
Listening to a favorite song and making small moves.
Reading a good book sitting on a balcony or lawn with a few plants around and sipping tea.
Telling a story or teaching something important to our children.
Walking and chit chatting on the terrace in the moonlight after dinner with your partner or kids or parents.
