EQ SKILL #1: EMOTIONAL SELF-AWARENESS



Pay attention to your thoughts, because they become words.
Pay attention to your words, because they become feelings.
Pay attention to your feelings, because they become decisions.
Pay attention to your decisions, because they become actions.
Pay attention to your actions, because they become habits.
Pay attention to your habits, because they become your character.
Pay attention to your character, because it is your fate.

Adapted from the Talmud (Jewish Sacred Text)

  1. This out of all we have learned, struck me the hardest. It the one thing I'm continuously trying to work on. I try hard not to have a knee jerk reactive. I'm getting better but not where I want to me. I'm going to print this and place it so I can think of it daily.

    1. Agreed...these are deep thoughts and ones that I want to be very conscious of.
