Instead, you may find yourself becoming calmer, more relaxed and better able to handle situations in a way that helps everyone and allows
wonderful person that you truly are to shine through.
Developing a more compassionate and kinder nature may help. Becoming less quick to judge a situation and more understanding of
perceived transgressions of others may be useful in resetting
threshold of your emotional alarm system.
Ridding yourself of thoughts of arguing or fighting with others may also leave you in a better state of mind. Allowing things to happen naturally and letting go of
need to be in control of every situation will allow you to feel better about yourself and
world around you.
Consider practicing that sage-like advice that comes from a most unusual source, bumper stickers. You have probably seen
ones that say, "I practice random acts of kindness' If you actively do so, you may find your threshold for emotional responses naturally adjusting upwards.
Checking inappropriate responses is a great reason to pay attention to your emotions and feelings. Yet, there is a an even more positive benefit that hasn't been mentioned yet.
Consider this quote from
inside front jacket of Daniel Goleman's book, "Emotional Intelligence". "Emotional Intelligence includes self- awareness and impulse control, persistence, zeal and self-motivation, empathy and social deftness. These are
qualities that mark people who excel in real life: whose intimate relationships flourish, who are stars in
workplace. These are
hallmarks of character and self- discipline, of altruism and compassion -basic capacities needed if our society is to thrive".
Clearly, you have
power to make changes that vastly improve
quality of your life and
lives of those around you. The answer rests within and can change your world.
