Galba Bright’s 7 Laws of Emotional Intelligence # 6

Law # 6 recognising my range of choices is an excellent way to start changing my behaviour for the better.

This deeper understanding of yourself will encourage you to have an open honest look at yourself in the mirror. As time goes by, you will become more comfortable and accepting of the person that you see.

Your life and your responses to the challenges and opportunities that life presents to you now looks like the second graphic at the top of this post.

You will still get angry, yet your choice as to what you do with your anger will be a more appropriate choice.

You will not get carried away by boundless, baseless optimism either.

Your emotional intelligence will enable you to manage yourself in a far more effective way than your old stimulus - response habit.

    Galba, you have so much good material in these. What if you started posts with a common problem from the workplace - and do a post on how each one related to that problem and links the solution to the person having the problem. It would make an interesting series to get teeth into on this deep topic? Thoughts?

    Hello Ellen:

    Thanks for your suggestion. I’ll give it a try and we can see what comes out of it. :).

    This law reminds me daily to dig a little deeper into the vast inner potential of me/self to activate the power of the positive inner potential to search for the proper behaviour to enhance a positively conducive environment for positive uplift.

    One needs to be always reminded of the fact that there are always choices as to how one relates and responds to any circumstance whether it be spontaneous or developmental.

    With continuous repetition of all these 7 laws my subconscious keeps me on my feet, with practise to continuosly assess my daily reaction to my every day experiences I have developed a strong self-control unit to be positively alert.

    So far I have progressed well upon being a recipient
    of these laws for about a year now. It is almost automatic to display positive behaviour at all times.

    Now I am taking these laws to a higher level as I seek a new job or as I have been fondly advised that I am seeking a vocation.
