Tap Your Limbic System For Interpersonal Effectiveness
Tap Your Limbic System For Interpersonal Effectiveness
Are you technically an expert? No matter how cognitively or analytically intelligent you are, how well-schooled or technically expert you are, if you do not have good emotional awareness and cognitive-emotional integration skills, you are at a disadvantage.
Consequently, you are less likely to be successful in your personal and professional lives because you are less emotionally intelligent than you need to be.
Ask yourself:
- Do I recognize how my emotions affect my behavior?
- Do I know my emotional strengths and weakness?
- Do I recognize how my behavior and emotions affect others?
- Do I know how to improve my problem solving and decision making through the use of my emotions?
The essence of EI is your abilities. Your ability to
- Accurately identify your emotions and those of others
- Generate emotions in yourself and others to help solve problems
- Understand the causes and changes in your and others' emotions
- Use emotional awareness to make better decisions and create interpersonal effectiveness.
This is the basis of social radar and interpersonal effectiveness.
What makes all of us human is our emotions. What makes our relationships from family to job to friends work is emotions. What makes us emotionally intelligent is how we use those emotions in concert with our thoughts.
This means that we all are emotionally intelligent to some degree and have emotional strengths and weaknesses. But you need to determine what they are so you can perpetuate your strengths and shore up your weaknesses. Doing so can put you on the path to a more effective and fulfilling life.
Emotional Intelligence is an ability that can be learned and improved upon. Research demonstrate that those who understand themselves and others and who know how to deal productively with their and other's emotions are routinely seen as a cut above the rest. This is among those who have similar IQs, education, experience, and expertise.
One way to become attuned to your emotions is to create a Mood Journal and ask yourself during the day to what degree you "Do Not Feel," "Feel Somewhat," or "Definitely Feel"): happy, sad, surprised, grouchy, nervous, excited, distracted, few ideas, low interest.
Then you ask yourself:
1. Why am I feeling this way?
2. What have I been doing that may have contributed to this feeling?
3. What emotion likely follows next?
4. What is my overall mood?
5. Do I consider this mood desirable?
6. How would I like to feel?
7. What ideas do I have to change the situation?
Keep this journal on yourself daily for a month then switch to another person. Ask the same questions about them and determine what they are telling you about themselves and their emotional state by what they say, how they say it, and what they do.
