Resilience Can Be Learned – Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Matters

Resilience – Are we ever in need of a HUGE dose of it about now.   The culture chaos all around us has so much to do with emotional intelligence (EQ), also known as Resilience.   

Researcher Daniel Goleman, in his groundbreaking brain and behavioral research shows a shift in how we see IQ and life success.

What is EQ, Resilience anyway?   Up until 2012, in my studies to become a Certified Life Coach, I had never heard the term before.   Was it ever eye opening and life changing to learn how much of a road block the lack of EQ (Emotional Intelligence), or Resilience can be in one’s life.

Emotional Intelligence includes self-awareness and impulse control, persistence, zeal or enthusiasm and self-motivation, empathy and social deftness or skillfulness, ability without difficulty.   The really good news is these all can be acquired.

In his book, Emotional Intelligence – Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, Dr. Goleman points out that the qualities I just listed above mark people who excel in real life: “whose intimate relationships flourish, who are stars in the workplace.  These are the hallmarks of character and self-displine, of altruism or selflessness and compassion – basic capacities needed if our society is to thrive.”

Why is emotional intelligence, resilience so important for right now as well as success moving forward?   Well, to put it right out there, the personal costs of deficits in emotional intelligence or resilience can range from problems in marriage and parenting to poor physical health.   “New research shows that chronic anger and anxiety create as great a health risk as chain smoking.”  Lack of emotional intelligence, or resilience can sabotage the intellect and ruin careers.  “Perhaps the greatest toll is on children, for whom risks include [...]

A Mother Ponders Mother’s Day…………..

Solemn Birthday my Sweet Guinevere Rose!

You would have been 35 years old this Mother’s Day had we said YES to the LIFE you were meant to LIVE.

Had we said YES to you and run fully into the arms of Papa God for forgiveness, instead we chose to continue along the path of lies and deception, deceiving ourselves and all around us, who could have helped us choose LIFE for you. The path into darkness grew for more than 2 decades….impacting every aspect of our marriage, parenting and our lives. We ignored the LIFE, and her impact, of our first child we chose to snuff out.
By the grace of God our marriage survived, hanging on by a thread….that thread was Jesus! Even though the church, the body of Christ, was all around us no one ever talked about the need to heal from abortion. Oh, maybe a short conversion, placing a little bandaid over the wound. In fact, abortion was rarely talked about….it was one of those taboo subjects….”too political” and “too divisive”! Such little understanding of how GOD WEPT over the brokenness He saw in His own children who were too busy “playing church” rather than BEING His church….
Yet, in our silence so many wounded and broken souls walked in and out of the doors of the church without a word to open the door, even a crack, to God’s healing grace from the deep soul wound of abortion trauma. Yes, the wound is deep, permeating every nook and cranny of one’s life. The open festering wound oozing, with it’s infectious poison, into every aspect of a woman’s life *spirit-soul-body* UNTIL one day, Oh bright and glorious day, the light of Jesus [...]

Ok, enough!…of your political rhetoric President Obama and Cecile Richards

For you to use your position to EXPLOIT, once ago, and ATTACK, innocent people for your own political gain in the wake of the most recent TRAGEDY in Colorado Springs!  Three people died, or did you miss that memo?

The man who did this was NOT PRO-LIFE, if he had been TRULY PRO-LIFE, he could have and would have NEVER done such a thing.

You see, President Obama and Cecile Richards, TRUE PRO-LIFERS offer hope, not false hope and falsehoods.   TRUE PRO-LIFERS believe that ALL human beings have value, NOT just the ones you choose to value or who can advance your political agenda and parrot your rhetoric and talking points.

LET’S GET REAL!

This tragic event took place in a location that BREEDS violence against women and children.   The spiritual atmosphere is death and violence, which breeds more death and violence!  Think about it?!

This tragic event took place at a legal abortion clinic – Planned Parenthood.  Planned Parenthood would like to add the words “safe” in their rhetoric.   However, the latest best available science does not prove that, but instead contests it.   They claim to care about women’s healthcare, yet continue to ignore the latest and best available science and worldwide research.

The most recently published reference guide, that should be used as a textbook, Complications – Abortions Impact on Women, compiles 650+ worldwide studies of the physical and psychological HARM of abortion on women.

This is NOT a political debate, it is a HUMAN LIFE issue, a broad scope women’s healthcare issue.

The latest and best available science is calling out Planned Parenthood, President Obama – drawing a line in the sand.   Stop the political rhetoric and start speaking the truth!   Stop lying [...]

Mommy Baby Rescue

Getting the text at 8:15 a.m. “I am at the clinic right now” dropped a lead weight in my gut. Everything in me screamed, “No! Ending the life of your 5 1/2 month old baby in your womb will not solve your problems, it creates new ones!”

We had talked the night before and I shared my story of my abortion trauma experience and the things I so wished I had been told by the abortion clinic – the same one she was sitting in, but 34 years prior.

She didn’t want to go through with the abortion but she hadn’t been given other options either. This appointment was her 5th visit – every time she would walk out of the clinic because in her words, “Why should my baby be punished with a death sentence, he’s done nothing wrong. How could I hurt him like that? I just don’t know what else to do!”

I texted her back to see if we could meet, I will come to you. And would it be ok to bring a friend who is a specialist in open adoptions to at least give her more information about her options. All of them. And also, the known risk factors and aftermath of abortion trauma, especially at 5 1/2 months pregnant. Women Deserve Full Disclosure

I could feel the adrenal rushing through my body as the thought came to my mind, “MommyBabyRescue!” In my mind’s eye I saw an enormous guardian angel standing behind and protecting a pregnant mommy with her hands gently and protectively placed over her burgeoning belly. It was a beautiful picture [...]

    Righteousness ~ Reconciliation ~ Rest are November’s theme

Righteousness ~ Reconciliation ~ Rest are November’s theme

I don’t know about you but I get excited about words and the meaning they bring to our lives!

Words have power to lift up and encourage or tear down

The quality of the words we use really do dictate the quality of our lives.

Righteousness is interchangeable with justice. We all want justice for the injustices we see around us. But righteousness is a greater word in that it reflects God’s nature and His standards of what is just.

Being reconciled to God helps us know how to carry out wise justice in our world that is necessary for rightness in our world.

And last but certainly not least rest. Rest for our soul and our body. Creating margin in our lives from so much busyness. The hustle bustle of life can stress and strain us to no end. God gave us the gift of rest so we could rejuvenate ourselves – disconnect from tasks and the to-do lists. We were not created to work seven days and be on the go go go 24/7. Rest helps our mind filter things out.

Rest lets us rejuvenate, recreate, recharge for our work. Please don’t ignore the value of rest. Take care of yourself ~ YOU are loved, YOU are valued.

Peace!

Content – Contented – Contentment

Been thinking a lot about contentment lately. And, interrelated words, including contention, the opposite of contentment.

I implore a greater understanding and mindset of contentment.

“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. Proverbs 17:22

BE Cheerful. In the midst of any circumstance, as much as is possible.

“Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5

Gratitude and Satisfaction with where you are in the here and now, is the present.

“All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.”
Proverbs 15:15

Abundance flows out of a cheerful heart.

“A heart at peace gives LIFE to the body, but envy rots the bones.” Proverbs 14:30

So please, consider this, above all else, GUARD YOUR HEART. [...]

VISION & VIRTUE….LifeVictory highlight

VISION & VIRTUE….LifeVictory highlights for the month of June. If you’ve been following us for a while each month is a different LIFE principle. L.I.F.E.V.I.C.T.O.R.Y.

What do these two words mean to you?

Virtue isn’t a word commonly used these days…I think it’s time to bring it back into vogue…I think it could solve a tremendous amount of problems today….that’s my VISION! Behavior reflecting a high moral standard.

What would a virtuous vision look like to you? Does Papa God have a virtuous vision for the world and what would that look like? http://ow.ly/i/2i6qD
