"When you feel triggered, pause." great advice. Sometimes the thing triggering you is intended to and many times it just our response. Pausing to reflect on these moments really has helped me determine better current and future responses. I also liked your point on telling ourselves stories to fill in the blanks. I think it's when gaps appear, without facts to confirm, that I feel compelled to turn moments, where I lacked control, into stories that make me feel like I've regained it.
I love what you're saying about control, John. I resonate 100% with this. I do the exact same thing. Our brain just has to make sense of everything all the time, and more often than we'd like, it just gets it wrong. Having the humility to acknowledge it makes all the difference. Thank you for reading along!
Emotional intelligence sounds much more difficult than it actually is. You do a great job of simplifying 💕
Thank you so much, Sue. That was the exact goal of this post: making EI simple and easy to grasp 💕

These are great reminders Ilham ✨ and I love the term EQ 💖
Thank you so much, Shelly. I love EQ too, the term, the concept, everything 💕
This is really good. I like things that can be grasped quickly, applied easily, and do the trick, and you seem very good at this. Thanks!
Thank you so much for your kindness, Arthur! I'm glad you enjoyed the post.
