Tip of the Month

In the book Social Intelligence by Daniel Goleman, the case is made over and over again that we are all better social problem solvers when we monitor and moderate our emotions.  Decisions made in high emotional states are rarely as effective as decisions made AFTER our emotions have run their course, and we return to a calmer and more clear-thinking place.  In essence we need to learn to better understand our own emotional patterns so we can thoughtfully respond to the challenges we face, versus reacting to them.
