Emotional intelligence can never be underplayed

Emotional behavior as we understand in a lay man’s term is defined by far as our inner feeling that we undergo in our everyday lives accompanied by variety of thoughts envisaging these emotions we feel.

We may experience a large variety of emotions in a single day you may be elated upon seeing yourself achieving grand success at one point of time and at different point of time you may be filled with grief on loosing your loved one.

Your internal environment is often seen to be controlled by what happens in the external environment. We normally tag an Individual more intelligent than others if he exhibits exemplary performance in his academics but unfortunately such statement holds no good and have lost their ground in the current era.

High levels of intelligence quotient is no guarantee of success in personal life. It can only help you score better grades to seek admission in a good college and later on to secure a lucrative career. This is not to suggest that a person with high level of intelligence will bond well with his colleagues and is going to have smooth interpersonal skills. Will he be able to take stresses in his stride and deal with problems with greater ease there is no answer to the question.

Emotional intelligence encompasses all the qualities that a normal person should have to strike a balance in one’s life when life throws at him any complex situations. Emotional stability and strength calls for an inner strength required to stay stable and mentally integrated when your going gets tough. Emotional intelligence surpasses all types of intelligence needed by the person to stay grounded and it is only emotional intelligence which can make a person resilient.

Saga of courage

Must we have the courage to fight for peace

Must we gather the courage to rebuild our tarnished hopes

Gather some more courage to find our inner conscience to see what is right

Courage to come out of pangs of guilt emerging from our failures

Courage to accept one another unconditionally without any biases

Courage to wade through our inner fears and emerge as a warrior

Finding solace in silence

In the hustle and bustle of our lives where nothing seems to be under our control and there is maddening anxiety haunting us all the time to meet our goals well in time we often come across a moment where we need to slow down a little and make a rendezvous with our own lost selves.

how much we have alienated ourselves from our true self and so much we have deteriorated in the process of proving our worth to others.

They say happiness doesn’t live outside of our body it is somewhere within us and we need to reconnect with our inner conscience and environment.

Silence speaks volumes to us and it has proven to be golden at many times. silence always teaches us how to integrate our lost conscience and inner strength.It can add on a new perspective to what you aim for in life the goal in life is not always finding the incredible success but also learning new approach which can mould you into builders of tomorrow

.silence can help you endure any kind of a pain which can otherwise make you vulnerable to others

It can redefine your relationship with you and with others and help you understand them and incorporate them in your life.

Respect the power of silence it is miraculous.

Stop ruminating it is mentally degrading

Ruminating or over thinking about a particular aspect of life is something that proves to be dangerous for our mental equilibrium.

How many times it has been that you get stuck in the vicious cycle of never-ending thought which impedes your every normal activity.

It appears like we get stuck in a kind of thought cell where there is no way out. It is very important for us to break the habit of getting stuck in one kind of thought which can sometimes be so overwhelming that we fail to think logically and rationally.

Steps to curb the habit of ruminating

Self awareness is more than important to realize what emotions and feelings one is undergoing while dwelling on ruminations. Once you become aware of the negative implications of ruminating you may look out for something constructive.

Shifting your attention on something more positive and constructive like drawing or reading something enlightening can perhaps lessen our tendency to ruminating.

Believe in the irrational nature of many of your anxiety provoking thoughts. We keep on fearing a lot many times things which are merely our imaginations. Thought may come and go but focus more on solutions rather than the problem.

Stick to the everyday schedule of life and learn to set priorities in life.

Meditation can come as a blessing and a big time saviour in cases where mental equilibrium has gotten off the balance.

In the end if nothing comes to your rescue a good psychiatric intervention can help you with your problem.

Energy rebounds

Haven’t we all felt like something uncomfortable surrounding us when we are interacting with certain people we get a feeling like running away from the place and on the contrary there are people in our lives who come to us like miracles happening to lift up our spirits and bring us to see a better version of yourself.

What is that feeling called guys is it a kind of energy that reverberates in your environment. How amazing these mental vibes can be when we experience while interacting with people who think just the opposite from us and suddenly you feel a little jolt which is so repulsive.

The greater the liking between the two individuals the better they share a platonic relationship and more we get gravitated towards the person.

Interestingly we all have energies around us some can deplete your will to take on life and submerge you into depression without you even becoming aware of it so stay in tune with your thoughts acknowledge every emotion and feeling you undergo. Don’t let any negative emotion have an overwhelming effect on you.

Stay away from anything that refrains you from reaching out your goals and discourages you and keep your thoughts focused on your solution that is the key to success.

Applying reverse psychology

Well that sounds really an interesting phenomenon the concept of reverse psychology. A lot many times we have to confront a situation in life where we want people to adhere to certain rules in order to discipline them.

Negative tendencies can easily be observed in small children the more you try to convince them or control them to avoid indulging into anything negative the greater is their urge to do that task. Now what does reverse psychology apply it simply means changing the psyche of the person to make him do what he doesn’t want to do.

Cleverly such a technique can be applied especially with children in disciplining them and getting them into good habits. Children are fussy eaters and they show aversion to healthy food asking them not to eat veggies and fruits placed before them can arouse curiosity in them and will attract them towards eating veggies.

There are multiple ways in which we can apply reverse psychology in our daily lives to overcome unknown fears and anxieties in our lives. This can bring out a positive change in our lives and can enhance our level of confidence.

Is boredom all that bad for you

I really wished I could do something constructive every single day to help me get out of this monotonous life. Every day seems to me like a rotten piece of paper where I try to write something novel and enriching to make my life more worthwhile while but at the end of the day all goes in vain.

This is what we all experience when our day comes to an end we start our day with high spirits to see the change somewhere but most of us find it hard to continue and it often sets in a feeling of monotony.

I am no different from the rest after my husband and son leave I plunge my mind into my household chores and relentlessly make sure I keep my self occupied. But is that all I was wishing for all these years. I started to suffer from pangs of identity crisis and existential dilemma in other words I began to crave excitement in a life.

Sometimes boredom gives way to creativity in its own way

You can be a good cook for your kids but what if you could add a new twist to your regular recipes. I started to give my food a new presentation with a dash of my new ingredients and believe me I was applauded by my family.

Boredom can challenge you to see the world from a different perspective

We are conditioned to see things in a well structured and in harmony

Pursue your passion it could be anything from painting to writing short stories which you once could not continue. Don’t limit yourself self to one stream of thinking try something out of the box which is mentally and emotionally relaxing for you.
