What are your keys to being successful? Do you know what your emotional intelligence score is? Isn't it true that it's really what is inside your head that makes you feel stress, overwhelmed and pressure? The technical aspect of changing your thoughts is your conscious mind. When you operate from the conscious mind you know who you are, what you are doing and why you do what you do. (Yes, that means you consciously know when you are stressed.) Consciously you can create success...design smart goals, create a strategy, and do what it takes to create an action plan and achieve your goals. But....what holds you back? Do you live with the fear of failing, or being unsuccessful and not know where these fears come from? Your unconscious mind remembers all experiences and memories that you have lived and the feelings you felt. When you allow your unconscious mind to remind you of negative thoughts and perceptions, feeling poorly about yourself, the result is what generates poor habits. This in turn can overwhelm you with feeling stress and pressure. Having a high emotional intelligence score helps you know your are aware of your emotions and the situations when you might have the opportunity to become stressed and overwhelmed. Successful indiividuals have emotional intelligence. Does your conscious mind create success and positivity in which you thrive? Or, do you allow your unconscious mind to keep you coming from a place of fear? Personal effectiveness is an awareness of emotional intelligence and a key to achieving success. What kind of attitude do you have? What does your self-talk reinforce within you?
