For the next several weeks, I would like to share with you some of the writings of Lauretta Zucchetti. As a former award-winning executive at Apple and Xerox, Lauretta Zucchetti is currently an author, life coach, and motivational speaker. This collection of Emotional Energy tips was published in 2016.
"While few of us are entirely immune to thinking (or saying) pessimistic statements that begin with "I" ("I’m unattractive," "I should have done better," "I’m pathetic"), emotionally intelligent people have the ability to curb cynical thoughts before they fall down the proverbial rabbit hole. Instead, they rely on facts to come to conclusions. For some, it’s a mere glance at
their experience and accomplishments outlined on their CVs; for others, it’s the appearance of a clean and organized house, or an internal analysis of what they’ve done right. After all, emotionally intelligent people acknowledge that negative thoughts are just that — thoughts — just as they recognize that the derogatory interior voices they hear are theirs to turn down, tune out, or silence completely."
