All Things E.Q. for week of Sep 21-25: Our motto for this week is: Don't give up what you want most for what you want now. 40 Years of Stanford Research Found that People With This One Quality Are More Likely to Succeed. What is this one quality? Delayed gratification. For such an essential skill, delayed gratification does not get spoken about very much. Here is the link to the article above, if you would like to share it with your class. The strategies for this week are:1.Know that the biggest obstacle to getting what you want is often just failing to start. Our mind may tell us we are not smart enough, or special enough or any other lie we may invent to lull us into inaction. However, often the only thing we need to do is to take action. Jim Tunney shared this sentiment perfectly when he said, “It’s the will, not the skill.”2.Seek a healthy balance. Living each day to the fullest means you allow yourself opportunities for free time, for work time, and enough time for sleep. Work is important because it is how we contribute to ourselves and others. Free time feels better and is more enjoyable when it is balanced with productivity. A great irony about leisure is that the more you have of it, the less you enjoy it. Seek balance.3.Use retrospection in the present. Before making a choice, try to look from the perspective of your future self. At the end of the week, would you have rather taken the night to relax or to start getting ahead on some deadlines? Thinking about what choices will yield better results in the future may help you make choices now that will serve you well later. Also, knowing how rewarding it is to be done with work, can help motivate you to get started. Wishing you a wonderful week, Danna Evans All Things E.Q.
