Let Go Of Control With Emotional Intelligence
August 24, 2008 | 1 Comment
Are you addicted to being in control?
Recently several people wrote to me about their need to control. In one case, by “overprotecting” adult children and in another by limiting the “negative” effects of change in the workplace.
Trying to stay in control at all times and control all things is exhausting and limiting. When we are compelled to try to change the situation, ourselves or others we are really emotionally hijacked. We struggle to stay in control as an alternative to dealing with our feelings. Being out of control provides the illusion that we are safe.
In this post you can take an assessment and get an idea of how much of an investment you have in control. You can also listen to my most recent podcast on the subject. at www.yesyoucan-podcast.com and while you are there, check out more free podcasts on using emotional intelligence.
