If any of these thoughts have gone through your head or other thoughts about why your relationships are not in the place you would like them to be, check out The MARE Foundation concepts. Let me help you navigate the aspects of Emotional Intelligence and understand your feelings and how to manage them in a way that benefits you.
Many experiences in life are lessons in learning about ourselves. If we continue to get into relationships and have them dissolve or be troubled, we need to look into what we are seeking in these relationships. What are the expectations that we have? Are we setting appropriate boundaries? Are we having empathy for their perspective? Relationships are complex, even work relationships can be challenging if we are not using all the emotional intelligence concepts.
Have you found yourself blaming others for troubles in your life? Blaming others puts us in the victim role and creates an attitude of helplessness. But the good news is that you have power! You CAN do something. TAKE ACTION! Taking action creates self-confidence and boosts our self-esteem. Think of the last time that you set a goal for yourself and then started taking action. Even if you did not achieve the goal, you felt the positive benefits while you were making the changes needed. It wasn’t the tasks you were doing, but the knowing that you were taking some control over your life, which created that positive feeling.
