Feelings follow behaviour.

We often let our emotions rule our lives, one minute we sit idly and the next we ready to pounce or become defensive and attack anyone and everyone that seems like a threat to us. The question is, are we able to rule or control our emotions in this demanding environment. It is said that females’ emotions can be affected by the smallest of things returning the biggest explosions, for example an unhelpful shop assistant with attitude will hit the last nerve of some women.

Many women go through Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and Menopause and men are usually at the receiving end of the emotional feeling which sometimes causes outbursts and mood swings as well as irritability, depression and anxiety. However emotional intelligence is needed to cope with the demands of a corporate and capitalist environment we operate in. It’s about being “heart smart”, emotional intelligence helps one build strong relationships, succeed at work, and achieve ones goals.  Do feelings follow behaviour? Or does behaviour follow feelings? I tend to side with the latter. Under normal circumstances it is the thought process and the feeling that is evoked that brings about the behaviour we display. We need to be more emotionally intelligent so that we are not controlled by our feelings.
