Emotional Intelligence for Critical Thinkers
Most people aren’t taught emotional intelligence in their upbringing. And because of that, there are often lingering negative emotions hanging around inside us that might need to be addressed if we’re going to experience a life without the burden of anxiety, depression, and emotional triggers.
Getting out of anxiety and depression is often not an easy task, but there is an angle I take today that might give you a good start.
What does it take to become the best version of you? What do you need to do for yourself so that you become happier and more fulfilled?
This episode is all about you and what it takes to become the most supportive, compassionate person to yourself.
Where should you start when it comes to healing old stuff from the past? Should you do a deep dive into your childhood, bringing up all kinds of memories and traumas that you may or may not have repeated to therapists over and over again?
Or should you talk about how it bothers you today and see if someone can help you gain a new perspective? What about skipping over the trauma and just looking at what behavior came out of it?
There’s a path you can take to reverse old emotional triggers just by doing something different to get a different result. If it sounds too easy, then you definitely need to listen to this episode.
