EQ for Balance
Part 3
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2 3

All the EQ competencies are important, but one of the more important is certainly Intentionality. It means doing what you intend to do, saying what you mean, meaning what you say, and having the effect you intend to have. This means you can't pull the wool over your own eyes; and your eyes are the only ones that matter.

If you trudge off to exercise like an addict on his or her way to court-ordered rehab, planning to make a mockery of it all, it won't work. I'm reminded of the man in recovery I once worked with who told me, "I go to the meetings after I've had a couple of drinks and no one can tell." (wink wink) How clever of him, I thought, all the way to his own demise.

You can tell your wife you went, when you didn't; or you can tell your doctor you're "trying," but who are you kidding. As Paul Pearsall so beautifully puts it in his book, "The Pleasure Prescription," go ahead and retell all those war stories (each telling of which will have the exact same physiological effect on your body as the original event), "but to the victor goes the bypass."

Nor will it work if you rush through your afternoon to make time, dash out the door, fight traffic while you yell into your cell phone while writing to-do notes to yourself on the car pad, and then have a final tantrum when the exercise machine you want isn't available when you get there.

The epitome of this circular self-defeating approach was captured in a cartoon I saw years ago. Our victim is on the examination table. The doctor says, "Why are you drinking?" He replies: "Because I smoke and smoking makes me nervous." There are cases in which the cure can be worse than the disease.

We see this also in the middle-aged person who, in a counter-phobic maneuver suddenly start climbing mountains, bungee jumping, or competing in a tennis league that's beyond is or her capabilities. Sprained ankles, broken arms, slipped discs, myocardial infarcts, and even amputated fingers can be the results, none of which improves the health, all of which add problems that weren't existent before.

Understanding and being able to manage your own emotions is the starting point. It's also the ending point. In between there are diet, exercise, nutriceuticals, prescription medications, and checkups. Don't leave out any part! You can't feel good if you don't feel good, if you get what I mean.
