Socrates knew it all along. If you want to succeed in life you must “know thyself.” This isrepparttar first step for everything and for anybody who wants to make a difference in his or her life. The ability to listen to our own emotions, wants, desires and needs is as important as listening to others. In addition, puttingrepparttar 106580 understanding of your emotions (and those of others) into practice is equally important. There are times all of us want to lash out at our superiors or peers for violating our boundaries, not “getting it”, interfering with our projects, crossingrepparttar 106581 line, stepping behind our backs, taking advantage of our absence and simply playingrepparttar 106582 old and cold business game.

Those are only natural feelings. Everyone has had them from time to time. However, what you DO with those feelings and emotions is what counts. Controlling your anger and frustration and learning to perform more productively under stressful circumstances isrepparttar 106583 defining factor.

Unfortunately, changing your emotional response to others is considered a “lifestyle change”. And, as we all know, those arerepparttar 106584 most difficult to implement and maintain. If changing unproductive habits were as simple as being aware of them, we'd all be living ideal lives. Changing habits and behaviors takes more than awareness and self-knowledge. This is why traditional training (such as books, audio tapes, video training and workshops) often falls short in creating long-term change. They don’t offer a consistent support system…repparttar 106585 one thing that is vital to maintaining new behaviors.

I recommend that you find a mentor or coach to assist with this process. After all, there is an elegant beauty apparent in people that can remain calm when no one else can. Aristotle said, “Anyone can become angry - that is easy. But to be angry withrepparttar 106586 right person, torepparttar 106587 right degree, atrepparttar 106588 right time, forrepparttar 106589 right purpose, inrepparttar 106590 right way - this is not easy.”

The insights below will help you lay down a solid foundation for managing your emotions and progressing forward in your career.

1.Learn rather than defend. Instead of going into a defensive mode and trying to protect or force your views, learn fromrepparttar 106591 situation. Ask yourself what is really going on with that upset employee or coworker. The old saying is true, “When you change someone’s point-of-view against their will, you’ve never truly changed them.” Fromrepparttar 106592 moment you lose control and retaliate (even if you are right) you’ve lostrepparttar 106593 battle. However, by controlling your emotions and investigatingrepparttar 106594 other’s viewpoint, you open yourself to a calm and enlightening discussion.
