Lisa Catallo recently read the book “The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry”. Here are 5 ways to help you take steps to slow down in life.

If emotional intelligence is so important, why don’t we talk about it with children?  In today’s society, we ask each other ‘how are you?’ and the response is almost always ‘fine’.  Fine is not an emotion; fine does not express anything; fine is a cover-up.  We try to protect our children from our negative emotions most of the time.  The problem with this is that children are the best emotional antennas, they can sense when their parents are not happy.  Not hiding emotions doesn’t mean we dump all our concerns on our children all the worries of being an adult and parent; it does mean that we can share in a controlled way.
