Seven Rainbow rules to increase Emotional Intelligence

How many of us really understand our own emotions? How many of us really know the difference between thinking and feeling? Sometimes when you ask someone “What are you thinking ? and “What are you feeling?” the answer is just the same. It is vital to make people understand the importance of knowing, understanding and managing their emotions.

A person who has high EQ are the once who are more successful in their personal and professional lives. Emotional Intelligence is something which can be developed over a period of time but many a times people do not focus or give importance to.

The ability to recognize our feelings and those of other people, to manage our emotions and actions, and to skillfully interact with those around us are the people who have high Emotional Quotient. People with strengths in EI maintain emotional balance, even amid difficult situations. They understand unspoken emotions and dynamics among individuals or groups. And they cultivate positive relationships personally and professionally, All that makes an effective leader, team member or parent and spouse for that matter. People who lack EI have hard time at work and in their lives. They find difficulty in achieving their goals, lose their temper easily especially under stress. Leader who lack empathy can’t be an effective or a good leader.

Elements of Image which creates First Impression

“You never get a second chance to make a great First Impression”- Will Rogers.

So why not make some extra effort to make your first Impression work’s in your favor. The four elements of first Impression which helps in creating positive image are Clothing, Grooming, Body Language including Etiquette and Vocal Communication. When you use them judiciously, they help you project the right image and thereby create powerful First Impression. Since First Impressions are formed during the first few seconds of meeting the stranger, they are largely formed on the basis of visual cues. Over 80% of the message you covey is visual in nature therefore visual cues form the critical Elements of First Impression.

The elements that hit the stranger in front of you first are clothing and Grooming. The next element to seep in is your Body Language and Etiquette. Last is the Vocal Communication by which you are judged. Yet, they work in tandem when creating First Impression.

Remember, First Impression aren’t about creating inaccurate impression that are not true to the Inner You, but of keeping away wrong impressions that fail to reflect the Inner You accurately.

How will you know out of these four elements which require greater focus and how can you implement them? Well as I already mentioned about three important factors that influences First Impression i.e You, The Stranger and The Situation, plays a vital role here. More importantly, none of the individual pieces of these Elements live in a world of their own. They are interlinked and all linked to the Inner You, your Inner Life. It goes without saying that a little knowledge is your worst enemy. In such a case ignorance is better than implementing a few and letting the others lie as they are. It is the artist in you who would know how to implement the four elements, not only to create positive First Impression, but also to make sure you don’t send out conflicting signals.

While the ground rules and the technique come from the science, skill in creating powerful First Impression is the Art. Art is about taking what Science has on offer and putting it to use in differing situations. When you use a combination of the artist and the scientist, you will end up creating unique First Impression that turn out to be Lasting Impression. They will not be the replica of all the impressions that others are creating around you.

Take care of the Elements and implement what is right for the Inner You and the Outer situation. You shall automatically project a unique you.

4 Repercussions of First Impression

First impressions are not only quick to form , they last forever. You owe it yourself to create powerful First Impression because your success, happiness and fulfilment depends on them.

Every first impression is contextual. It is based on a situation where a stranger in front of you is trying to maximize benefit to herself/himself company and minimizing pain. It also depends on stranger and their perceptions, knowledge and experience. It is what the stranger considers important in the given situation and the characteristics they want to see in you and the way they sees themselves. And the most important factor is “YOU“. What kind of image would you like to portray? Image is your identity, it’s you in the eyes of others.

To create a postive you need to put in extra effort as negative image or impressions are tough to correct.

The unforgiving thing about First Impression is that, once formed, they are imprinted on the brain practically forever, making them lasting Impression.

Once the first impressions are formed there are certain repercussions:

Edge Of The world

When the day ends and night begins

When love fails and hatred wins

Thats when you know , you have come to the edge of the world

When rich becomes richer and poor becomes poorer

When corruption is on the top of the minds

Thats when you know, you have come to the edge of the world

When a child lies and the mother cries

When a lover cheats and infidelity remains

That when you know, you have come to the edge of the world

When cruelty wins over goodness

When revenge wins over forgiveness

That when you know, you have come to the edge of the world

Lets wake up from this gloomy life

And makes this world a place of joyful ride

Thats when NO one will come to the edge of the world….

God’s priceless gift….” A Mother “

I remember those wonderful days
When you wrapped me tightly in your arms, close to your heart

I remember when you helped me
in every decision of life because that’s the toughest time,

I remember your tight hugs when I am feeling low
because you have all the love to show

I remember you supporting me
When whole world seems to be accusing me

I remember you wiping my tears
when I face my deepest fears

I remember when you shout at me
because you wanted best for me

Mom,I wish I have you by my side
I love you and thank you for all you did for me
and hope someday I make you proud for whatever comes to be

I wish you were here, mom I miss you so much
no one knows what I would give for just one touch.
