I dare you to do this. I dare you to open up your calendar and take a look at all the things you have scheduled, and then take a step back and ask yourself, why don't you have anything on there scheduled for you? I'm not talking about what you will do for others. I'm not talking about for your kids. I'm talking about why don't you have an hour or 30 minutes or 15 minutes blocked off where you just be, when you're out of human doing mode and you're in human being mode. Because when you talk about emotional intelligence, and people always ask me how am I able to stay balanced, you have to be intentional. It's called emotional intelligence for a reason. It's a skill, and your emotional growth It's not going to just happen. You're going to have to be intentional about it. Take a moment and put some time on your calendar because conditioning yourself through calmness when you're by yourself is how you're able to stay calm in this crazy-ass world.
