How to Make Good Decisions

Emotional Intelligence - How to Make Good Decisions

Making good decisions is what determines the course and success of you life, both at work and at home.

Make decisions with your heart and then implement them with your head. You would think logic and analysis would be the most important part, but that comes afterwards. Remember, Capt. Kirk was the captain. Mr. Spok was just the engineer.

How to decide? "If you know what you feel, you'll know what you want." (M. K. Downing). This is what we mean when we say "gut feeling" - just KNOWING it's right for you.

Most of us were never taught to KNOW how we feel. This leaves you lost when it comes time to make the most important decisions. Becoming intelligent and informed about your emotions will bring your more happiness, better health, and more success at work and at home.

Let me teach you how to hone in on this, and the other important skills involved in emotional intelligence. There are several options, alone or in combination.

• Personal Coaching
• 1 1/2 day Seminar in Dallas (most weekends)
• Interactive Internet course (The EQ Course)
• Combination
  

Improving your emotional intelligence (knowing your feelings, how they work, how to manage them, to use them for the important information they provide, what to do about anger so you don't harm yourself or others or your relationships, how to develop intuition (your surest guide) ... these are just some of the concepts we cover.

Your emotional intelligence is crucial to happiness and wellness. (Did you know that 5 mins. of anger suppresses your immune system for up to 8 hours?)

#1 New Year's Resolution

I BET I KNOW WHAT YOUR TOP 2 NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS ARE

"Resolution". It's another word for Intentionality, an emotional intelligence component.

Some facts about New Year's Resolutions:

• For most people, the #1 resolution is losing weight, getting fit, getting back in shape, exercising more, eating right ... some form of wellness.
• Next is something you want to "give up", some bad habit. Quit smoking. Quit self-sabotaging. Stop yelling at my kids. Stop fighting with my partner.
• 90% of people will have broken their resolution by the end of January.
• Most people admit to having the same top 3 every year.
• We want to make it a better year for ourselves, but we are making the list at the down time of year.

Coaching can help you make a keep your New Year's resolutions.

The month coming up is a hard one for most people, cultiminating in "the most depressing day of the year," January 20th (so proclaimed by a scientist using a formula). This is because of the weather, SAD (seasonal affective disorder, all the emotions triggered around Christmas , the after-Christmas letdown, the weather, bills, not getting what you wanted for Christmas, the weather (gray skies!), fights over Christmas time with relatives ... and so forth.

Want to see the same thing on your list next year, like it was last year, and the year before? Of course you dont, so why not try coaching.

Why do we make these "resolutions" at what is usually the low-point of the year? Well, any time is good to make a resolution to make your life work better, as long as you give yourself a real chance at making the goal. Coaching can help. I help people make their resolutions all year long.

Make it your resolution to find out about your resolutions, and give yourself a chance at keeping them this year.
