Though they feel and understand
their emotions, they do not let them lead them.
They know that expressing one's
feelings constructively is as healthy as expressing one's feelings negatively. 2. They Don't Take Things Too Personally.
When we take things personally,
we are constantly offended.
Even in difficult circumstances,
they remain objective, understanding that it's not always about them. 3. They Don't Dwell On The Past.
There can be no rewriting of the
past.
Rather than dwelling on what
happened in the past, they focus on the present and the future. 4. They Don't Make Hasty Decisions.
When you make a hasty
decision, you are usually making a decision based on your emotions.
Prior to making a decision, they
consider all options and pause before taking a final decision. 5. They Don’t Avoid Difficult Conversations.
A person who is emotionally
intelligent sometimes knows that the only way out of a situation is through it.
They know that running from
conversations doesn’t work and that open dialogue is essential for building strong relationships. 6. They Don’t Jump To Conclusions.
When something is concluded
without enough facts, it means that emotion played a significant role in the decision.
As a result, they form an opinion
or make a judgment based on an objective look at all angles before coming to a conclusion. 7. They Don’t Engage In Gossip.
The act of gossip is detrimental
to both those who gossip and those who are gossiped about.
It is critical to them that others'
privacy be protected, and they will only share positive things about them with other people. 8. They Don't Blame Others.
When it comes to losing
credibility and authority, blaming others will always be the fastest way.
Rather than blaming someone
else for their mistakes and abdicating responsibility for their actions, they acknowledge and own their mistakes. 9. They Don't Shy Away From Conflict Resolution.
In the same way that
uncomfortable conversations are part of life, conflicts are as well.
They understand that some
degree of constructive disagreement is healthy for progress and are willing to work through differences. 10. They Don't Put Others Down.
Putting others down is a high-
risk, low-reward activity.
They recognize that building
others up is the quickest way to improve the world and build lasting connections. 11. They Don’t Let Fear Guide Their Decisions.
We should honor fear, but not
always obey it.
Rather than acting based on
fear, they take a logical approach, weighing all factors before making any long-term decisions. 12. They Don’t Ruminate On Negative Thoughts.
You can choose how you
respond to negative thoughts.
Instead of dwelling on self-doubt
or pessimism, they identify these unhelpful thought patterns and find constructive ways to channel their energy. 13. They Don't Deny Their Feelings.
The feelings we experience are
signals and feedback.
They learn to recognize and
acknowledge their emotions, and those of others. 14. They Don’t Get Caught Up In Power Struggles.
There is no good outcome to
power struggles.
They understand the importance
of respect and cooperation in all relationships and do not attempt to control other people or outcomes. 15. They Don't Take Shortcuts.
There is no such thing as a
shortcut.
They accept that consistent
work, commitment, and perseverance are necessary for achieving long-term success. That's a wrap!
