    FUSION

    ''There is to much work, information, problems. I need fusion. ''

    Dear EQ net workers,

    A teacher told me that she felt very stressed because all the things she has to do. "Its to much." "What will I read from all the magazines, books, E-mail attachments and what not." Its to much: "Where will I begin, how can I choice". There is to much work, information, problems. I need fusion.

    Fusion.
    You have one brain. You have one self. You have one identity.
    Yet in our daily lives we divide ourselves up. Our life with friends family gets separated from our work: our emotions get separated from our cognition. So imagine putting it all back together, all going the same place at the same time.

    Fusion is putting all the different parts of your brain and identity together. It melds your greatest attributes (i.c personal, psychological, intellectual, ethical, creative) Fusion occurs when you combine, cognitive (thinking), emotional and creative energies. The result: an intense burst of energy, power,efficacy and a total absorption into your task or project.

    To encourage fusion, use your EQ skills to create communication, trust, self awareness, and purpose. Create an environment that stimulates heart and mind.

    Fusion Questions like:
    • What makes you most effective?
    • What is the most fulfilling use of your time? for example stimulate both emotional and cognitive intelligences.
    • Finally make sure that levels of skills and challenges match.

    Fusion activity:
    Frequently and randomly - at least five times a day - check in with yourself.
    Also check it with your pupils in the classroom!
    • How is your energy?
    • How is your body (warm, cold, feels good or not)
    • Level of focus/ productivity?
    • Emotional state?
    • Who is with you?
    • Is that what you need?
    • Do you like to share something?
    • Do you wish you where doing something else?
    • Are you in flow? (that creative state where you are fully absorbed)

    Friendship is a powerfully force to promote fusion. A group of people who are excited about an idea helps create an environment that makes the brain most productive. This month, set a goal of creating one new friendship. Send a mail to EQ Europe about what happens.

    With love
