March MOTIVATION - Be Aware & In Control of your Feelings
Aware and Control
Out of control and unaware
Being aware of your feelings builds an appetite to understand others
Being able to control your feelings enables you to choose to follow (and unfollow people)
Responding to relationships is all about feelings.
People who support you to feel your best encourages you to lean in … to follow.
Those that trigger friction and conflict, push you to leap out of the relationship.
Our emotional dashboard, similar to that of a car is complex until you start paying attention.
For some, it’s a row of emojis, round faces that are sad, mad, and joy.
Communication is riddled with messages about how someone feels.
Whereas some have a repertoire of words to describe how they feel, yet don’t often share these descriptions to help you become aware.
I often feel that I want to be right. It supports my need to be in control, strong and to be the boss.
Yet, when I feel this way, it blocks my listening ability. I’m building my response while the other person is speaking.
I’m now capable of controlling this feeling and can contribute more purposefully to relationships by leaning in and listening to them fully.
Feelings are the emotional impact of achieving and not achieving your self-worth.
Emotional Intelligence is your entry-level to designing your own emotional dashboard.
And Relationship Intelligence is your next level to co-create your relationship dashboard.
