Want to Enjoy Life and Achieve Your Goals?
Part 2
by Susan Dunn

7. Become resilient.

Resilience, an EQ competency, means being able to bounce back from adversity while maintaining enthusiasm and hope. You build resilience by properly processing the adverse events in your life (work with an EQ coach). The good news is there will always be opportunity. (That is also the bad news.)

8. Gratitude.

Every evening write down three things you have to be thankful for. You can get into the habit of walking in the door at night full of all the things that went wrong, or, you can talk about what went right. It's as simple as this: One way you'll feel good; the other way you'll feel bad. The choice is yours. We all have the same things going on, and live in the same world.

9. Let someone else run the world.

Get a clear understanding of what's under your control and what isn't, and basically all that's under your control is how you react to things. Bad things happen to good people, including yourself. The more you engage in judging, criticizing and blaming, the worse you're going to feel.

10. You don't have to like everything in order to be happy.

Emotions are there to guide us, and we will have both negative ones and positive ones. Like the laws of physics, if you refuse to deal with one emotion (such as grief) you shut down all emotions. Be willing to experience the negative ones when they come.

Fighting them only gives them strength. The goal is to get the message the emotion is sending you, respond not react (that means thinking it through before you do something, if anything; not all emotions need be acted upon or even commented upon), and keep on keeping on.

11. Don't take your emotional temperature every moment of the day.

One misconception people get about Emotional Intelligence is that it's all about emotions, and that you have to be feeling good all the time. Rather, EI is the interface between your emotions and the rest of your life.

We are actually feeling our best when we're in a state of flow -neither thinking nor feeling; when you're "lost" in a task you love. Taking your emotional temperature constantly will accomplish the opposite of what you want to have happen. Just check in every now and then.

12. Keep learning new and challenging things.

Boredom is the enemy. Learning things that challenge you is the key. Make it a lifelong habit to work your brain out. We can form new connections throughout our lifetime, given the right stimulation, and "bigger" brains cope better with diseases (such as Alzheimers), injury, or simply aging.

If you're an engineer, learn how to prune roses. If you're a therapist, learn some physics. Get our of your field, and out of your "element." Put yourself around different people. Lifetime learning, BTW, is one of the keys to resilience.

Emotional Intelligence coaches are busy teaching these important life skills to people all over the world. Don't miss out!
