Hi Dia
I keep seeing the phrase “Emotional Inteligence” but never knew what it meant until now.
The idea of interpreting situations in positive or negative ways is a powerful concept.
My wife is the optimist and I’m the pessimist and we often differ in how we interpret things.
As you say – if a situation can be optimistic or pessimistic… why not choose optimistic?
BTW – thanks for your comment on my blog.
Hi Keith,
Exactly, we should always try to choose the positive interpretation since the negative one does not help us.
Hi Dia,
We simply cannot achieve our aims and aspirations if our emotions are taking us on wild roller coaster ride. Monitoring our inward self-talk is the best way to keep us on target. We lose our way if when our negative self-talk derails us… and we move ahead straight as an arrow when our self talk directs our emotions intelligently and effectively.
Hi Rob,
Monitoring our inward self-talk is for sure necessary to keep us on track. If we lose ourselves to negative thinking, then we are heading down the wrong path for sure.
Emotional control is a difficult but necessary tool to manage to improve your life. Our emotions and thoughts control our actions. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Frank,
Exactly, we should work on managing and controlling our emotions all the time. It should be a goal for all of us. When we learn to control our emotions, life is so much better.
