Emotional Intelligence Questions (part 2)

• Who or what are you Angry at?
• Who or what Hurt you the most?
• Who or what are you most Afraid of?
• What is keeping you from Releasing the pain?

Emotional Intelligence Questions

• Do your emotions work for you, or against you?
• Do you find yourself Repeating unhealthy behaviours, and don’t know why, or how to stop them?
• Are issues from the past ruining your present day life?
• Does your life feel out of control?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, you could use more Emotional Intelligence (EQ) training.  You probably have plenty of Mental Intelligence (IQ) training… but what about the OTHER HALF of your life?!?

Learn, grow, feel, connect, smile!

Are you Bored?

Shutting down feelings leads to boredom, irritability, grumpiness and depression.  Allowing ourselves to feel leads to passion, excitement, fun and love.

Let’s open our hearts to Feel, and Live!

“Anyone who is bored with life has probably forgotten his or her dreams.“

- David Schwartz

My Emotional Lessons

What I’m working on, emotionally, right now:
what are your top 3 things?

1. Focus, Fear, and Finishing

• stay Focussed on only 1 or 2 goals at a time.
• bust thru my Fears, and limiting belief systems
• If I start it, FINISH it (unless there’s a damned good reason not to).

2. Embarrassment

• I just went thru an Angry spell.  It wasn’t that much fun, and I wasn’t that much fun to be around.
• I’ve been able to work thru most of it and it’s dissipating…
•    but now I’m embarrassed.
• I’m embarrassed about where I’m at, professionally.
• I’m embarrassed about being inflexible and outta-shape (well, I can play racquetball like a mad-man for 3 hours at a time, but I can’t touch my toes, or do 50 sit-ups)
• I’m embarrassed about how I’ve treated Paula, and some others.  whether i feel righteous or not, it’s time to grow-up in some areas.
• I’m trying to USE my embarrassment as a motivational tool… to make me better (Doc says there are three feelings that are the main motivators for change:  Anger, Embarrassment and Fear)

3. Not being so externally other-directed.

• I’m a true co-dependant, right to the core, and it’s not really working for me.

Who are your Role Models?

Sometimes our light goes out but is blown again into flame by an encounter with another human being.  Each of us owes the deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this inner light. 

- Albert Schweitzer

We can find role models anywhere –- friends, family, famous people, infamous people, movies, stories, our imagination – literally, ANY where!

So, who are YOUR role models?
In what way do they exemplify your ideas?
