Self Improvement
Turn Down the Rheostat
Part 2
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2

It's sometimes a relief to hear and see less, yes? And you can also apply this to forgiveness, and what you remember. I have a friend who's well into her 80's whose memory is a bit less than it used to be, she tells me. She tells me, "I'm a much nicer person now than I used to be. I no longer remember every single thing someone tells me, every slight, every negative comment. I'm much more forgiving." I think she has a point.

One of the less mentioned benefits of developing your emotional intelligence is that eventually you can modulate your emotions. They don't "come in" as strongly. You don't experience them as strongly. Therefore they're easier to manage. Like the cub scouts no longer annoyed by my loud tones who therefore behaved better.

You can also benefit by learning to turn down, or turn off, your self-talk. These are the thing you're always telling yourself in your head that you may or may not be aware of. These are the things that pop out of your mouth when you miss an appointment, for instance, like, "Why am I so stupid?" or "Can't I ever get it right?" Pay attention to how you talk to yourself. Make it positive and self-soothing. The other doesn't work. Get off your back and on your side!

Slow it all down as well. When you immediately react to what someone says is when you are most likely to say something that will either agitate the situation, harm you or the other, or that you'll regret having said later.

This is when we speak like the knee jerk reaction when the doctor taps our knee with that rubber thing -- as if it were automatic, and we had no control over the words that come out of our mouths. Or the gestures and expressions we use, which can be equally or more damaging. If someone has rolled their eyes at you in disgust, you know what I mean.

This is when we get that flash anger and say, "That's it. I quit," or "Pack your bags and get out."

Work with an emotional intelligence coach and learn how to slow down your reactions to things. It will give you time to think them through and this will almost always bring better results.

And try the thing about whispering next time you're with a young child. It works beautifully. In fact they're kind of fascinated by the whole thing. Which is to say, as we say in coaching, "try one thing different."
