EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE-PLAYING THE WAITING GAME?

WERE YOU ONCE THIS EAGER? WHAT HAPPENED?

"I have spent many days stringing and unstringing my instrument while the song I came to sing remains unsung." -- Rabindranath Tagore

How do you regain "that loving feeling?" How do you learn to sing your song, or to seing it again.

There are different ways people talk about it, depending upon their field and where they are on the spectrum personally -- finding your passion, getting motivated, being enthusiastic, having a reason to get up in the morning, giving a d***, life energy.

With depression and stress epidemic in the US, sometimes it's hard to find someone with this sort of life energy and enthusiasm.

EQ is about getting back in touch with your feelings. If you wince when you read that, chances are you have some heavy stuff to deal with - grief, disappointment, anger, resentment. There are emotional rules, just as there are rules to physics. One of them is that if you stuff down one emotion, you stuff them all down.

If you're numb (out of self-defense or a recent trauma), or seething beneath the surfae (which is never really beneath the surface), or having lots of physical symptoms (headaches, aches and pains, fatigue) these are all signs that you're emotions need to be dealt with. Learning EQ is learning how to let them move through you, not get dammed up.

When we say "I was very moved by that speech" we're talking about one of the roots of the word "emotion" which is "movement." If you block an emotion, you lurch along, never really able to get in the moment and enjoy the present. If you've become numb, you're just going through the motions without the feeling part that's what life is all about.
