YOUR EMOTIONAL BIO
RHYTHM-EBR
Author Speak…….
Going through the pages
of my book Heart Over matter your mantra for success, you
would have realized as to how very complex we human beings are. Our behavior,
basic characteristics and our abilities to deal with the world and our
environment differ from person to person. These abilities and temperament for
each of us is very complex. That is why we also call this complex human
behavior as an individual’s nature. This implies that these noncognitive
aspects of our character are to some extent given to us by nature. That is why
there are some who are very cool headed and some of us fly the handle and lose
temper at the drop of a hat. These human instinct and basic qualities like will
power, strength of character etc make a deep impact on each of us and to a
large extent dictates as to how we interpret the world .Each one of us
therefore has a unique Emotional Bio Rhythm-the way our emotions and
characteristics shape our life-which is the key to improving our individual
performance.
Emotional Intelligence
–as described in the first few chapters –is a mix of an individual’s nature,
characteristics, traits and attitude. On EI plain we all possess certain
strengths as well as weaknesses; most of us have more strengths than weaknesses.
To improve upon these weaknesses are like “Emotional Optimisation”.
To optimize, one must
first be able to understand and realize what one possesses-what the nature has
bestowed upon us. People are born under twelve zodiac signs. These sunsigns are
as per English calculator. People born under a particular sunsign possess
certain peculiar traits. These can be analysed and mapped on to the abilities
that fall under the domain of Emotional Intelligence.
In Heart Over Matter,I
have expanded the scope of EI by looking into and integrating EI with aspects like
our likes and dislikes, relation between heart and head ,our basic emotional
structure,passion,determination,motivation ,drive ,commitment,integrity,principles
,mind set and even values.
In a way I have covered
the entire domain of human competence which can be labeled as “Ones character
and Personality”. Within our character and personality map all these qualities
are loosely coupled and loosely defined. It is not possible to quantify these
traits and represent them as numbers. We call it Emotional Quotient but it
would be very difficult to assign a number to ones EQ-at best it would be some
sort of an approximation of a very subjective analysis.
Sunsigns define the
character and personalities for people born under different sunsigns. Here also
the characteristics are loosely defined and loosely structured. It is more of a
narrative rather than a grading system. I feel one needs to leave it at that
.If these can give us a gross feel about our basic character, we can take that
as a start point for moving towards optimizing our abilities.
Surprisingly these
characteristics pretty well match up with things like our sense of
humour,delayed gratification,perseverance,optimism,patience,trusting
others,impulsive nature, caring for others and so forth.
Sunsigns divides the
earth’s 6.5 billion population into 12 distinct Zodiac signs. These are
considered the twelve basic personality types. People in these groups get their
characteristics or personality traits from whatever sign that the sun was
passing through at the time of their birth. Since these sunsigns go across a
time zone there is an imaginary boundary line between two signs. This imaginary
line is called a ‘Cusp’. For simple understanding, people born close to these
boundaries tend to have characteristics of both the signs.
As you read your Bio Rhythm
as per your sunsign, you will realize that many of the characteristics match
with your character almost hundred percent. Some of these match to some extent
and you would say “Hm…this could be possible” and some don’t match at all and
you say “Oh no! This is not me”. But if you take the sum total you will find a
number of traits that match yours. Even if it is 80% profile match it becomes a
useful tool.First, you can be conscious about your strengths and weaknesses and
second you can make an effort to bring about a change in yourself. Third you
can understand your personality and avoid those situations, jobs and people
which do not go along with your personality.
For example if you are
the one who cannot work under pressure and tension as per your Emotional Bio Rhythm
then you must avoid taking jobs that have an environment or expectation which
will have you under pressure.
Your “Self profiling”
and Emotional Bio Rhythm put together can give you a fair idea as to how to
deal with life, which direction to move into and what type of area of work to
choose that goes along well with you.
Therefore you work on
two plains together, emotional optimization and optimizing your life according
to your temperament. Read on…..from my book
