We are emotional beings.
Every single one of us is created with emotions as the basis for our survival, for being able to be who we need to be, and do what we need to do, in every area of our lives.
As this is Emotional Intelligence Awareness Month, I want to unpack several things from that subject that helped me to be able to live up to those 10 commandments. As I've said, I'm not perfect. Just like you, I'm a work in progress. However, putting these things together makes it a lot simpler to be able to stay on track.
Let's start talking about why this subject was so important to me and why (wherever I work all around the world) people sit up and take notice because they realise that this is the key to being able to go from who they are (with all the challenges) to who they want to be.
You see, we're all in constant conflict. The conflict that starts internally -- the conflict between who you believe you are and who you really are.

That internal dialogue is based on the experiences and beliefs you’ve had and then stems into conflict with others. When you handle your emotions in an unhealthy way, it eliminates your engagement and creates chronic stress that leads to you being sicker and taking longer to get well. It decreases your productivity in your career. It creates conflict, which can include leaving relationships and jobs. That means that our career is going to take a back step. But it doesn't have to be that way:
When you learn how to navigate your emotions in a healthy way, you can have great relationships. You can have all the energy you need to be who you need in every area of your life.
