Undoubtedly, we all experience joy differently. Joy plays an integral role in our life - it’s the feeling of great pleasure, happiness, and peace, but it’s not an innate feeling - we have to work to ensure we have joy.
Many of us aren’t comfortable with our emotions, we have learned to push them away so we don’t have to feel and think about them. Feeling your emotions physically can be a challenge but a necessary one that is relevant to your overall health.
It’s normal to run from discomfort. We try to avoid the physical, emotional, and mental discomforts of life as much as possible. But avoiding these feelings creates challenges.
As parents, we want to provide the best of everything for our children. We've outlined how instilling emotional intelligence skills in your children will be a game-changer for them.
As adults, we have the ability to learn a lesson from everyone we encounter, all of which helps enhance our personal growth.
Often times we're fixing a problem with a band-aid to manage a moment, but if we took the time to process our emotions, we could problem-solve the challenge. Giving our brain time to process what would prevent a repeat.
Conflict is part of our lives. The way we manage it greatly impacts the strength of our relationships. Having strong communication skills is essential to effectively navigate challenging conversations.
Do you ever feel you’re missing someone or something in your life? When I feel this way, I reach out to the those I’m closest with, “my people”, as they always have a positive influence on me. There’s significant power in selecting those who you spend time with wisely.
