7. Don’t judge your emotions.

Just let them be. The more you consider it bad to feel sad or mad,repparttar more you’ll fight it, andrepparttar 101599 more power it will have over you. We all prefer what’s calledrepparttar 101600 “positive” emotions, but there are others. Make them all welcome for their time. They all go away.

8. Don’t worry.

Worrying accomplishes nothing positive, and can have very detrimental affects. You’re already under stress, and when you worry, you can turn it into strain. Worrying stresses you physiologically and adds torepparttar 101601 problem.

9. Work with an EQ coach who has mastered change.

In light ofrepparttar 101602 fact that resilience must be acquired, you might interview a potential coach to see what major crises and changes he or she has mastered. The “untested” can only talk theoretically, and you’ll hearrepparttar 101603 difference, and you'll be livingrepparttar 101604 difference.

10. Learn optimism.

EQ coaches teachrepparttar 101605 competency called “optimism.” The level of your optimism matters in crises (and allrepparttar 101606 time). Scientific literature supports that optimistic people are more likely to reach their potential, handle crises better, recover better from major illnesses, live 19% longer – and undoubtedly enjoy living more. Get with it!

11. Last but not least, if you’re going through a major change, prepare to be a stronger person when it’s over – IF you have developed your resilience. “Adversity is another way to measurerepparttar 101607 greatness of individuals,” said Lou Holtz, American football coach. “I never had a crisis that didn’t make me stronger.”

This personal growth and triumph isrepparttar 101608 optimal result of going through change, but we all know people who cratered under strain. Develop your EQ and your crises can make you stronger, not weaker.
