Just like you, I am interested,even fascinated, by the tremen-dous potential hidden in eachand every one of us. Just like you, I am certain thatmy inner world is at least as fas-cinating as the outer one, andthat by discovering it I gainaccess to another quality of life.Just like you, I am searching for away to balance my body, mind,and emotions, in order to livemore fully and more happily.Just like you, I am looking for thebest inspiration and guidancefrom those who already exploredthis emotional realm.And just like you, I am moreinterested in HOW to connect tomy emotions, as in WHY they areso powerful and meaningful.Based on my decade-long practiceof coaching, with individuals,families and organizations, Iselected 32 main concepts havingthe strongest impact on emotion-al competencies:
y Ambitiony Angery Blamey Carey Changey Couragey Difficultiesy Emotionsy Experiencey Failurey Familyy Feary Forgivenessy Freedomy Generosityy Happinessy Hopey Imaginationy Joyy Kindnessy Lifey Lovey Past/Futurey Peacey Perfectiony Presencey Self-Awareness
y Self-Confidencey Self-Controly Self-Respecty Simplicityy Stressy Wisdom
Each of those is illustrated by apicture, worthing 1000 words, aswell as by a series of quotes. Thosewere selected especially accordingto their capacity of giving youpractical clues. Therefore, thequotes are originated not fromthe usual “mainstream” emotion-al intelligence authors, but fromthinkers, writers, scientists andartists from all cultures and ages,having a good connection withtheir emotional wisdom.Even if they are not quoted, thegiants of E.I. such as professorsPeter Salovey and Jack Meyer, dr.Reuven BarOn or dr. DanielGoleman, or Joshua Freedman,are always present behind thelines, guiding you with their pro-found wisdom and empathy.
I choose to use pictures of chil-dren because they are closer totheir emotions than adults, andalso more open to express theirown feelings. It is well knownthat even if emotional intelli-gence is developing during ourentire life, as an accumulation ofwisdom and maturity, its foun-dation is set in childhood andearly adolescence. Therefore, week after week, letyour inner child resonate withthe one(s) in the picture, in orderto reconnect with the experienceof the illustrated concept. Read the quotes and allow themto shutter your beliefs and self-image. Most of them are para-doxical, because the emotionallogic is perceived as paradoxicalby our rational mind. But themoment when the two sorts oflogic combine, they lead us to adeeper experience of reality, to abetter connection with both innerand outer worlds.
During your daily activities, lookfor opportunities either to experi-ence this new way of thinkingand feeling, or to express morefreely the emotion of the week.Discover what changes in yourefficiency, wellness, charisma,peace, or happiness. Discover newways of dealing with the others:family, friends, customers, co-workers, neighbors. Feel more,understand more, do more.By keeping a diary, it will be eas-ier to notice the subtle changesoccurring in your life, and con-nect them with a specific conceptor practice. Write down any rele-vant association among yourthoughts, emotions and actions.And, if you have around friendsor relatives also wanting to devel-op their emotional potential,share with them all your findingsand successes.May the Emotional Force be withyou!
Daniel Bichis,
The emotional frontier is truly the next frontier to conquer in human understanding. The opportunity we face now, even before that fron-tier is fully explored and settled, is to develop our emotional potential and accelerate rather dramatically into a new state of being.
