Tapping into your emotional intelligence is a process that benefits your self and social awareness, relationship and personal management. While emotions might be considered as only taking place in your mind, science proves that that emotions have a direct impact on your Nervous System that create specific body responses.. The importance of this connection is often automatic especially in stressful situations. However, when the option of choice is considered, you have the opportunity to experience greater authority over your both your mind and body’s responses. This, in turn, allows you to navigate relationships, work, stress management and your well-being more effectively.
Resonance Repatterning® is a multidisciplinary process that builds coherence within your body-mind system. The communication between your mind and your body are directly linked. This connection allows you to create greater meaning to gather from listening, observing and responding to what your emotions, thoughts, body sensations, and beliefs tell you.
Life is energy in motion. You can use your e-motions to give you energetic feedback on what you are paying attention to and the meaning behind what is orchestrating your thoughts, beliefs that can lead to automatic or chosen responses. This gives you the opportunity to create new possibilities by using what you have direct access to within.
Overthinking or being flooded with emotions can lead to greater overwhelm and shut-down. However paying attention to what your emotions are telling you can open the doorway for a shift in perception. This gives you the opportunity to weigh appropriate emotions for where you are, and what you are going through to consider appropriate and life-enhancing thoughts with best timing.
This happens with emotional intelligence. Recognizing what triggers you, and what moves you away or towards something or someone is important. Moving from being overwhelmed or flooded with emotions, or seeing clearly to notice and accept what is happening without any new awareness or feeling of agency is dis-empowering. Becoming more self-aware, making time and space for greater understanding, allows you to better listen to your body. This creates choices to empower your emotional response and actions you consider.
Emotional Intelligence on the Physical Level
Your body responds to your emotions biochemically through your posture, facial expressions, gestures, breath cycles, tone of voice, Nervous System influence of neurotransmitter and hormone production, heart rate, as well as temperature in stress responses. Your emotions impact your attention, how you think and what happens next.. This happens through unconscious material in both your survival and emotional brain. Accessing emotional intelligence activates your thinking brain so you can consider the meaning of your experience. Taking time to develop emotional intelligence skills. Your mind then has the opportunity to begin to identify habitual and automatic reactions, and with greater self-aware, analyze and choose new possibilities.
Emotional Intelligence and Your Attention
Where you put your attention in any given situation sets up how you will respond. If your mind has not let go of old tapes from the past or worry about the future it is difficult to keep your attention in the present. While your survival and emotional brain want to keep you safe based on past experiences, your attention limits you from getting the most out of life currently. Until limiting patterns from the past are made conscious, it is not possible to take the lessons you need so you can pay attention to what is happening in front of you today, Once you have transformed limiting patterns from your past, you can then apply your new awareness to your current situation. This puts you in the position to choose something new or different.
Emotional Intelligence and Language
Your self-talk affects your ability to listen, see or feel what is showing up in front of you. If you react to life from a dis-empowering belief about yourself or another person or group, your body-mind system will communicate this. Your energy level, stress or calm will have an impact on your ability to be present. In fact, your ability to see, feel, or listen to yourself will equal how much you can see, hear or understand what is happening with another person. When you consciously move through different issues in your life you expand your perception and range of vision, change your thoughts, beliefs and posture towards life.
Emotional Intelligence and Meaning
When you have worked through different issues in your life you expand your perception and range of vision. This allows you to consider other viewpoints if you have first considered yourself with greater self-compassion and empathy. It is through this lens that you can discern what feels empowering or dis empowering for your life. Giving meaning to what you are experiencing allows you to take lessons, choose between options while aligning with your values. With coherent new awareness you are better able to have empathy for others. This allows you to give new meaning to what you are experiencing from a broader and more compassionate perspective.
Emotional Intelligence Applications
When you find yourself feeling stuck, you can choose to tune into your breath and then focus on what emotions you are feeling. Notice how you are holding your body. Get in touch with your thoughts and any beliefs that are running through your mind. Acknowledging this can gives you insight into how you are responding to life in the present. Notice the meaning you give this feedback. Altogether, how does this impact your ability to focus or pay attention, get things done, take action with your goals, or make choices in your life?
Take account of timing in response to what you are feeling. Daily journaling is a powerful way to record what is happening. After you journal, ask yourself the question, Is this the best time to take action? Are my choices empowering or dis empowering? Is there someone or something that this is most related? Is this a good time to take extra steps, or do I need to pay more attention to what is happening right now? Both are equally important.
If you are in traffic or at work, consider options that will allow you to shift your mood to practice self-care in the moment as you catch yourself spiraling down. As you go through the day, this can be as simple as remembering an empowering or joyful moment in your life. Is there an empowering belief or thought to consider when you catch yourself in negative self-talk? Notice how these actions change your breath, your mindset and choices.
Use gratitude and appreciation for others, yourself or parts of your life to lift your mood. Create an inventory of favorite stress reduction activities to change things up. Or, if you need to, take a pause on your current situation and the rumble it is causing you until you can give yourself the time and compassion to work out what is going on within. When you do, the biology of your mind and body will change. Over time, new neural pathways and positive habits will become more automatic and beneficial to your health, wellness and well-being.
