In the final part of this extended blog we will see
how our emotions effect our behaviour and then go on to
look at our strengths and limitations.
EMOTIONS AND OUR BEHAVIOUR
If our moods can determine our thinking
it then follows that this process will also be reflected in our behaviour. But
making that connection from emotion right through to what we do is not always
obvious.
- The more we understand and are aware of the nature of the 'behavioural supply chain’, the more we will realise just how much control we can have - and in this life, real control is a very rare commodity.
OUR EMOTIONAL STRENGTHS AND LIMITATIONS
Knowing our strengths is, of course, important but understanding our
limitations can be just as potent an asset. In fact, failure to appreciate that
we have limitations can be a weakness and may even prove to be a serious flaw.
- If we understand our limitations as well as our strengths we are less likely to stumble unprepared into a challenge.
- Profound knowledge of our capacities leaves us better placed to exploit our talents to the full and give ourselves every opportunity to succeed.
- We give ourselves every chance to play to our strengths, and after all, why would we want to do anything else?
The idea is not to prevent the flow of our emotions, but to manage them together with our moods, and to regulate the effect they have on our thinking. It is not
the intention to breed Vulcans. A common question is 'how can I be doing all
these things if I am to concentrate on my work?' The point is that, like any
other skill, the more we practice, the more it becomes second nature.
