Emotional Intelligence and the Wise Choice Process



Emotional Intelligence and the Wise Choice Process

As you saw in your research on emotional intelligence, the choices we make in life are highly influenced by the responses we have to both our own emotions and the emotions of others. Often times, we do not make our best decisions because we allow our emotions to stop us from fully processing ALL of the possible choices available to us.

The following is an example of what is called the Wise Choice Process:

1. What is the situation about which you need a decision?

2. How would you like the situation to be?

3. What do you believe are your possible choices? What else?

4. What’s the likely outcome of each possible choice?

5. Given both the choices available to you and all of the possible outcomes, which choice(s) will you commit to doing?

Using the Wise Choice Process, choose three situations in your life about which you currently need to make a decision but are “stuck” in terms of how to approach it. Using College Writing Guidelines, complete the Wise Choice Process for each of those three situations.
