Hello Friends,

 

Here is a little something that I thought worthwhile to share.

 

I hope that all is well with you and have a wonderful day.

 

It's called, Keeping a Leash On Our emotions and the writer is unknown.

 

Kindest regards,

Harold

Keeping a Leash On Our Emotions

 

In the usual business situation, anger and irritation are much more

of a problem than love. True, you might occasionally let someone

you like get away with something you shouldn't. Most bosses,

however, are more apt to make wrong, unwise decisions in the heat

of anger or resentment.

 

Keeping a leash on our emotions is something we must do for

ourselves. No one else can do it for us.

 

Everybody gets exasperated once in a while. But if it happens

frequently or if you tend to nurse a grudge afterward it isn't

good. You've got a problem. Better check up on yourself.

 

No matter where you work, there will always be people whose faults

and personality defects can be annoying and irritating--if you let

yourself be annoyed and irritated. But supervisors and managers who

let their feelings get out of control in this manner hurt their

effectiveness. They limit their usefulness to the company and may

even block their own advancement.

 

You can't control other people sensibly until you first control

yourself. That's fundamental. So, whenever you start to get

irritated, STOP! Grab hold of yourself. Don't get mad. Get curious.

 

Remember, when people anger you, they aren't necessarily doing it

on purpose. To some extent, they may not be able to help acting the

way they do. We are all products of our past experiences. If you

had lived through what that person has lived through, you might be

just as irritating.

 

So why let yourself get angry? The minute you get angry, you lose.

The action you take is not going to be as smart or appropriate as

it would be if you kept your cool.

 

Whenever you feel yourself getting angry, try to stop the exchange

and postpone any discussion for the time being. When you've cooled

down a bit, put yourself in that person's shoes and see if you can

figure out what makes him or her tick. The more you realize why a

person acts in a certain way, the less it will irritate you. It

will make you a lot more tolerant, less touchy, and a lot more

effective in dealing with people.
