Using Emotional Intelligence Against Depression and Anxiety
from:There are episodes in a person's life when the world just seems so bleak. There are times when one's existence just seems so pointless. For some people, these episodes are short and temporary. For these people the emotions of depression and anxiety are nothing to be alarmed about. However, there are those who suffer from these emotions and consider them as threats to their goal of living a happy life.
There are people for whom depression and anxiety are barriers to their success. These people find that their problems of depression and anxiety aren't mere episodes. They consider depression and anxiety as threats to their lives. Why is this so?
For starters, anxiety and depression are very negative emotions. These emotions, when they come in fits can have very detrimental effects on a person's life. When you are depressed, you won't be able to think clearly. Your perspective on things will be distorted, which means you will not be able to make objective decisions.
Anxiety prevents a person from thinking things out properly. A person suffering from anxiety often finds that he or she is unable to do anything about his or her situation. People who are overcome with anxiety often experience a feeling of helplessness and do one of two things:
a) They resign themselves to their situation. Because of anxiety, a person's mind will shut down and focus on his or her anxiety instead of the problem. Because of anxiety they will be unable to act and just wait for what they think is inevitable.
b) They act rashly. People who are overcome by anxiety often lose focus of the world around them. They make decisions that are fueled by their anxiety. Because of this, they often end up making all the wrong moves.
An effective weapon against depression and anxiety is emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is the ability of a person to perceive and understand emotions. Through emotional intelligence, depression and anxiety can stop being problems.
