In 2022 the strength and power of building the connections and relationships with those we disagree with will become more and more essential. Difficult discussions will have to be navigated with power and grace.
Regardless of the situation at home with family, in business, or in social situations, we are all looking to be seen and heard for our uniqueness and accepted into the tribe we work with and live with.
The past 21 months have fractured plans and lives in many ways. Some people and businesses have managed to move forward with change and thrive. Others are still looking for any form of normalcy they knew in hopes it would return. Many are still hanging on to a thin thread wondering what’s next to knock them off their feet and asking, “how do I even survive?”
When is the last time you felt at peace with yourself, the life choices you’ve made, and know you were seen for who you are in a meeting, or maybe even at a family gathering? For some, it is the one thing missing in our lives. What we long for more than anything is to be seen and accepted for who we are uniquely.
We all have the need to belong and yet wonder if we are seen, heard, or recognized in many conversations. Knowing who we are and learning how to succeed with fast-moving technology requires looking at the big picture with logic as well as heart to be in connection to a group, business, and even the world.
As we approach the beginning of any year, we frequently look for clues of what to expect and what influences the world around us has in store for us. Looking at it from a different perspective can prove interesting.
Let’s begin with the numerology for 2022. Numerology is the study of numbers in your life. You can uncover information about the world and each individual person by using Numerology. Numerology is seen as a universal language of numbers. The number 2 shows up in 3 times in 2022. When we reduce 2022 by adding the digits together to a single number, we get 6.
At its very core, the 2 in numerology represents partnerships — the coming together or balancing of two individual people, concepts, or things. A feminine force with power and grace. The power of 2022 is learning how to stay calm in any situation. The number 6 signifies domestic happiness, harmony, and stability and comes with huge responsibilities such as family obligations, children, and the home.
Part of developing harmony and stability and happiness is emotional intelligence and one of its key components is empathy. Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within their frame of reference, that is, the capacity to place oneself in another’s position. In the family, if we start with our children. We can learn how to teach empathy to kids when they are young and help them translate empathy into action and avoid and/or disrupt the trauma we see today in schools and neighborhoods.
The one constant in today’s world is change. As fear and uncertainty increase, we look to minimize risk. Instead, we must explore new ways to engage with empathy and understanding of others. Emotional Intelligence is outpacing IQ in importance for being able to fit in or stand out in work and play. For business, it helps define and create the culture and improve the dynamics between employees and management. Even sites like Indeed now include benefits of emotional intelligence for applicants and companies to explore.
The balance between being part of a tribe and still your own person is learning to use emotional intelligence with other intelligences to manage yourself and engage with others with respect and understanding of their values and how you present yourself in social situations. Exploring how we make the most of life in 2022 will prove interesting.
