Anger
Anger is a normal emotion that every person feels. It is also something that everyone handles completely different from one another. The key to anger is allowing yourself to let go of it in a healthy manner. In my line of work, we tell our kids to use their coping skills. This just means to release this anger in a healthy manner. Some examples would include counting, deep breathing (my personal favorite), and to talk about it with an adult. As an adult, this is the exact same including talking to a friend or therapist. By letting go of this anger we allow ourselves to think clearly, react properly, and to feel better overall. This is an important step in becoming a better person.
Honesty
Honesty is the best policy! Have you ever heard of this statement growing up? I sure have! This statement is absolutely true, in that no matter what the situation is being honest is the key. When someone is being honest, people will not doubt them. This is the ultimate power when it comes to networking. Honest people will always stick out, as sadly this trait is hard to come by. Being a honest person is being a better person.
Listening to Others
Listening to others is crucial in our everyday lives. This is due to the need of having to communicate. Unless you’re a hermit that has no ties to other people, then you will have a conversation with someone at some point in your day. With listening to the other persons in your conversations you will not only be hearing the words they’re saying, but you will understand what is being said. Some things to do to ensure that you’re actually listening would be eye contact, focusing on the other person, and thinking about what they’re saying. These small steps will help to listen effectively to others.
