How Can I Take Better Care Of Myself (and Others)
In our fast-paced technological society, people are finding it more and more difficult to set some time aside to take care of themselves – physically, but more importantly mentally and emotionally. While many go to the gym to maintain their fitness and sculpt their bodies, they rarely dedicate time to maintaining their ’emotional fitness’, also known as emotional intelligence.
Taking care of and developing your emotional intelligence is critical these days. As people reach more or less the same level of education and technical skills, success becomes less and less dependent on those “hard” skills, but more and more on the intangible “soft” skills such as emotional intelligence.
Given that most people are time-poor when it comes to taking care of themselves, allow us to share with you 3 simple ways you can use today to start taking better care of yourself emotionally, and in turn, take better care of others…
1. Taking care of yourself may only take 1 minute because, in one minute, you can change your attitude and change your entire day. Every day, take one minute for yourself.
Stop, look, listen and ask yourself:
- Is there a better way for me to take care of Me right now?
- Is there a better way to handle the situation and learn from it?
- How does this situation serve me?
The greatest reason for outer success – at work and in life – is an inner success.
2. How you look at life is the single best way to take care of yourself. You have a perspective that either beats you up or builds you up. And you can choose our attitude. One thing you could do when you get rushed, feel overwhelmed, and lose your perspective is to ask yourself:
- 10 years from now, how much difference is this going to make?
3. Don’t be fooled by a bad mood, or by a good mood. The brain tends to focus on “either-or”. It’s either “all good” or “all bad”. But in reality, it’s not all or nothing and not permanent. Like a magnet which harbours simultaneously a positive and negative pole, there are two sides to everything in life. While people often see only one side in the heat of the moment, it’s important to ask yourself quality questions to balance your perception.
When you’re on a low, pause for a moment and ask yourself:
- What’s the upside?
- How is what is happening right now serving me?
When you’re on a high, pause and ask yourself:
- What’s the downside?
- How is what is happening right now a disservice to me?
Remain aware of your mood, and balance your perception to make better quality decisions. Remember that foolish decisions are often made while riding the high and procrastinating on the important things often happens when you’re on a low.
In a Nutshell:
So, every day make sure that you take at least one minute to put yourself first and take good care of yourself emotionally. Because if you don’t who will…
- Stop, look, listen and ask a quality question.
By doing this, you’ll also give other people the opportunity to take good care of themselves too!
