Today we are living in an age of constant change. There are changes in technology, changes in the environment, and changes in values. But we are unable to change ourselves. We may be dissatisfied with our own inner environment. But we are unable to adjust and change our inner environment to suit the external environment. This leads to a lot of stress and burn out. That is why, we find even very young executives in the corporate world suffering from stress, tension and the like at a very early age. The lack of response to change leads to these symptoms. But how do we tackle these problems? It can be tackled only by delving deep within oneself.
Equilibrium is a dynamic state of mind affecting spirit, mind and body, seeking and finding congruencies between the three, moving from a lower equilibrium to a higher one. Only when a man exists simultaneously on the spiritual, mental-emotional and physical planes, can we say he is living or else he is merely surviving. And for this we need to balance all four aspects of our being - spiritual, mental, emotional and physical - and raise our SQ standards in a truly holistic fashion.
Compared to the average population, high-SQ people appear to:
- heal faster from illness and surgery
- recover more easily from alcohol and substance abuse
- cope better with stress, trauma, and emotional loss
- be less likely to suffer from depression
- be more likely to feel happy and optimistic
The steps to greater Spiritual Intelligence:
- Become aware of where you are now
- Feel strongly that you want to change
- Reflect on what your own center is
- Discover and dissolve obstacles
- Commit yourself to a path
- Remain aware there are many path
