Health Alert: An Essential Diet Trick For Losing Weight In 2015

TORRANCE, Calif. - Jan. 6, 2015 - PRLog -- Losing weight is never easy. But there's an essential tool that most diets, diet pills and exercise programs gloss over.

Making healthy changes in life this year requires emotional intelligence. And best of all, emotional intelligence, or EQ, is something that can be made stronger.

"Emotional intelligence is the ability to manage emotions in yourself and in your relationships," points out natural health nut and vice president of Sun Chlorella USA, Rose Straub. "Basically, it’s about being perceptive and exercising good judgment in how your emotions direct your actions and reactions. Multiple studies indicate that 90% of top performers are people with higher EQ. It can determine everything from whether you're overweight to how much money you earn!"

Unlike IQ, EQ’s not something people are born with . . . it’s not genetically determined . . .

There’s lots of room for strengthening it and refining it. People can always increase their EQ.

And the key to building EQ is in building self-awareness . . .

In a 1972 experiment, researchers were studying EQ by challenging children to defer in eating marshmallows. They gave each child a marshmallow and then told them they'd get a second if they could hold off eating the first marshmallow for 15 minutes. Many of the children couldn't wait and gobbled up the first one immediately.

But researchers  noticed something interesting about the children who held out for the second marshmallow. The children who exercised EQ didn’t just turn on a switch that allowed them to sit there calmly staring the marshmallow down until they were allowed to eat it.

No, they did something to distract themselves . . . They kicked the chair leg . . .They looked away . . . Or – as researchers found out later on -  they imagined the marshmallow was a fluffy cloud or something other than the tempting treat.[2]

"What does this tell us? It tells us that people who exercise EQ aren’t necessarily superhuman in their restraint," notes Straub. "No, it’s that they understand what’s going on in themselves. They know their tendencies. And then they are strategic about how they let these feelings impact their behavior.This understanding explains why some people can make healthy life changes easily and others have a harder time doing it. See, it’s not that the successful ones don’t crave pasta and chocolate cake. Most of them do just like you do. But they understand their tendencies and have figured out ways to take actions despite their emotional leanings."

In order to make any healthy life changes successful - like going on a diet, or exercising more - building emotional intelligence is key.  But it's not about just turning on an EQ switch . . . it's about getting strategic.

"Using emotional intelligence and dieting is about understanding why you cave into your cravings . . . or get stuck on the couch or procrastinate," points out Straub. "And then developing strategies to counter these emotions or even use them to help you accomplish your desired task. Essentially, it’s about shifting your perspective so it’s easier to do things that will benefit you in the long run."
