Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, Asher Blake here and welcome back to discipline
over everything. Today we're diving into something super powerful, building
emotional intelligence through mindfulness. Ever feel like you're riding an
emotional roller coaster, like one minute you're on cloud nine,
the next you're in a ditch of despair, Well guess what,
You're not alone. We all experience these ups and downs,

(00:22):
but the key is learning to navigate them with grace
and awareness. And that's where mindfulness comes in. Now, before
you start thinking about chanting monks on mountaintops, let me
tell you. Mindfulness isn't just for yogi's. It's a simple,
yet incredibly effective tool we can all use to understand
our emotions, better manage them more effectively, and ultimately lead

(00:43):
more fulfilling lives. Think of it like this, Mindfulness is
like having a backstage pass to your own mind. It
lets you observe your thoughts and feelings without judgment, giving
you the space to choose how you respond instead of
just reacting on autopilot. So let's break down down five
key takeaways that can help you build emotional intelligence through mindfulness. One,

(01:05):
become an emotion detective. The first step is learning to
identify your emotions. Pay attention to your body. Those physical
sensations are huge clues. A racing heart, tied chest that
could be anxiety. Butterflies in your stomach might be excitement
or nervousness. The key is to start labeling those feelings.
I'm feeling frustrated, this makes me happy. Just putting a

(01:28):
name to it can make a world of difference. Two
Embrace the power of observation. Mindfulness isn't about changing your emotions,
It's about observing them. It's like watching a cloud drift by.
You acknowledge its presence without trying to grab hold of it.
Same goes for our feelings. Allow yourself to feel them fully,
without judgment, then gently let them pass. Remember, emotions are

(01:52):
like waves, they come and go free. Practice active listening, ever,
notice how often we interrupt or jump to conclusions in conversationations.
Mindfulness helps us become more present. Listeners focus on the
speaker's words, their tone of voice, even their body language.
This not only deepens your understanding, but also shows genuine

(02:12):
respect for the other person. Four. Cultivate self compassion. We
all mess up sometimes it's inevitable, but mindfulness teaches us
to treat ourselves with kindness and understanding instead of harsh
self criticism. When you make a mistake, acknowledge it, learn
from it, and move on. Remember everyone is human, including you. Five.

(02:34):
Find your mindfulness anchor. Think of an anchor that grounds
you when things get hectic. Maybe it's taking a few
deep breaths, going for a walk in nature, or listening
to your favorite music. Whatever it is, make it a
regular practice to reconnect with yourself and find that sense
of calm amidst the chaos. You know that feeling when
you're truly present in a moment, enjoying a delicious meal,

(02:56):
laughing with friends, or simply taking in the beauty of
a sunset. Mindfulness helps us cultivate more of those moments,
allowing us to appreciate the little things and live a
richer life. Speaking of living it, I remember being stuck
in traffic last week, feeling that familiar surge of frustration.
But then I took a few deep breaths, focused on

(03:16):
my surroundings, the vibrant colors of the trees, the sound
of birds chirping, and within minutes the anger melted away.
It's amazing how a simple shift in perspective can change everything,
So there you have it. Five key takeaways to help
you build emotional intelligence through mindfulness. Remember this isn't about
becoming some zen master overnight. It's about taking small steps

(03:39):
each day to cultivate greater awareness and self compassion. And hey,
don't forget to share your experiences. Let me know in
the commons what helps you stay present and manage those
tricky emotions. Because remember, we're all in this together, and
by sharing our journeys, we can inspire each other to
live more fulfilling lives. Until next time, keep it mindful,

(04:00):
keep it real, and keep on shining. This podcast is
