Do you have the confidence to achieve the goals you have set for yourself?
Whether they are professional goals, or personal goals, your self-confidence has a huge influence on how well you can achieve them. If you do something well, your confidence will increase. If you experience a setback, the chances are your confidence will nose dive.
Use your emotions productively
The way you manage your emotions will have an impact on your confidence and therefore, the way you feel.
‘Feeding’ on a particular emotion, or spending a great deal of time focusing on it, will have a negative influence on your productivity. It will also affect your personal relationships, working relationships and even your ability to do your job. So it is important to understand how your emotions affect your performance.
Understand how emotional intelligence impacts performance
Looking at your emotions objectively will help you to become more positive and happy in all areas of life. Emotionally skilled people know how to deal with their frustrations and difficulties. By controlling their emotions, they are able to enhance their personal performance.
Emotionally intelligent people will:
- Focus on the positives and surround themselves with positive people rather than energy drainers
- Be open and friendly but know when to assert boundaries and say “no”
- Respond well to conflict and manage this positively
- Look forward and not dwell on the past
- Know how to be happy and look for more ways to indulge that happiness
- Be lifelong learners. They will take every opportunity to nurture new ideas and grow as individuals
- Learn how to manage and influence your emotions to bring about an effective change.
One key step towards emotional control is to know when you are actually being emotional. You also need to understand why. Working out the right course of action, for you, is paramount to ensuring the most effective results.
It is possible to control your emotions and enhance your personal performance with a blend of therapeutic approaches. This ensures a tailored approach that will help you to move towards your personal goals, as well as increased confidence and greater life satisfaction.
Be In Control, Don’t let your emotions stop you achieving your goals.
What’s the main takeaway from this?
I would put it this way: if you want to control your emotions, stop trying to control your emotions.
Instead, aim at controlling your reactions to your emotions, and start using your emotions for something positive.
