Becoming a better person is as easy as going to bed. In high school, I was a dunce in math. I was fine with arithmetic and geometry, but bring fractions, sines and cosines and I was lost! My friend Clémence who was a whiz in math tried valiantly to teach me how to acquire math wizardry. Though I never became good at math, the method she used to remember her lessons has stuck with me to this day. I still use it in some aspects of my life with great results.
Every evening after she got in bed while waiting for Morpheus to claim her, Clémence used to go through her lessons in her mind. This helped her get a deeper understanding of the lessons. She would analyze her reactions and think about how she would have better responded. She even imagined questions the teacher could have asked and how she would have responded. Clémence was often surprised when some of those questions would appear during cats and exams.
This efficient method, Emotional Intelligence Coach Mucha Mlingo calls it ‘self-reflection’. Developing the habit of self-reflection is the first step to becoming emotionally intelligent; becoming a better person. As I wrote recently, highly successful people are emotionally intelligent. “Self-reflection allows you to reflect on what’s working and what’s not. This will enable you to identify what to keep and what needs to change,” says Mucha Mlingo in her ‘Self Awareness Tips for Entrepreneurs’.
