Emotional Intelligence Practice
How we get trapped into an emotional hack?
Here is a story to depict the situation -
Kelvin is a top brass employee of a leading shipping corporation in Australia. He is a jolly-natured guy but these days his behavior got uncertain and unpleasant. His friend Thomas was worried to see this different outlook and asked Kelvin if he is all right. Kelvin stated something usual, “Every evening when I reach back home my three years old daughter runs towards me with boastfully unique joy and happiness to grab me tight, my heart immediately gets filled with exceptional delight, the stress that accumulated within me all day long vanishes within seconds. I feel blessed. A warm feeling of glittering joy sustains back every time when I think of her joyous responses, even being away from home. On the other hand, whenever I think of my creepy friend Disilva, who slammed my whole reputation in front of international business delegates in the board meeting last year just because of professional jealousy, I clench my teeth unwittingly. My emotional equilibrium gets disturbed and sustains for a day or two at least. Many a time I feel his unwanted presence in my thoughts, though I have never faced him again after that day.” Thomas has understood, this is not usual as it looks. Kelvin is not well, but he is emotionally hacked.
Emotional equilibrium has a very complicated structure. It consists of interconnected internal feelings and ergodic attacks from the external world around us. The spikes of emotional patterns never leave behind anything acquit. Remember the keyword “spectrum of feelings”? It’s very dynamic and random in nature. It’s not easy to gauge, but most of us naturally know when we are out of whack. It is the state when we feel low energy and high anxiety. Our patience goes very thin and we find ourselves getting irritated, frustrated, and furious over trivial things. Emotional equilibrium is a highly active and personal thing, it’s important that we find just the right balance within us.
Our problem situations imbalance our emotional equilibrium and the “misbalanced” emotional equilibrium languishes our quality of life.
“Whenever the desired success slipped away right from your clenched palm, be sure it was not because of your incompetency or recklessness, it was only the influence of your quality of life in that particular span of time.”
Do you recall any incident when your assured success accidentally turned into a failure at the very last moment? Can you recollect your memory to figure out what was the quality of life you have been going through that day? Do you see any cause-and-effect connection between both? What if you could have measured your quality of life beforehand? Obviously, you could have done something more effective to save that success.
Think, work on the emotional state to be calm before taking any decision or action. That's the key to ensure success, that the way to utilize your emotional intelligence.
