12 Signs of emotional maturity
1. Flexibility
You are able to see each situation as unique and you can adapt your style accordingly.
2. Responsibility
You take responsibility for your own
life. You understand that your current circumstances are a result of the
decisions you have taken up to now. When something goes wrong, you do
not rush to blame others. You identify what you can do differently the
next time and develop a plan to implement these changes.
3. You understand that vision trumps knowledge
You know that you do not need to have all
the answers. As long as you can identify the problem, you can visualise
a solution and research the best way to implement that solution.
4. Personal growth
Meeting the challenges of tomorrow
requires learning and development today. You have a desire to learn and
a thirst for knowledge. Learning and development activities form a key
part of your schedule.
5. You seek alternative views
Knowing that the way things are done can
always be improved, you willingly seek out the opinions and views of
others. You do not feel threatened when people disagree with you. If you
feel that their way is better, you are happy to run with it.
6. Non-judgemental
Variety makes the world a more beautiful
place. Even when you disagree with people, you do not feel the need to
criticise them. Instead, you respect their right to their beliefs.
7. Resilience
There will always be things that go
wrong. There will always be setbacks and major disappointments. While
you may initially be a little upset, emotional maturity allows you to
express your feelings, identify the actions you can take, and move on.
8. A calm demeanour
It’s hard to be calm 100% of the time but you are able to remain calm the majority of the time.
9. Realistic optimism
You are not deluded. You know that
success requires effort and patience. You do, though, have an optimistic
disposition whereby you believe you can cope with whatever life throws
at you. You also believe that there are opportunities out there for you,
so you seek them out.
10. Approachability
You are usually easy to get along with
and people feel comfortable approaching you. Building relationships is
never contrived; it comes easy to you.
11. Self-belief
You appreciate when others praise or
compliment you. It feels good when they approve. However, you know that
there will always be people who disapprove but you are confident in who
you are and what you do. If you believe that a particular course of
action is right for you, you will do it, whether they approve or not.
12. Humour
You don’t take yourself too seriously.
You are able to enjoy a good laugh with friends and colleagues, even
when you are the butt of the joke.
One of the greatest obstacles to emotional maturity is a lack of self confidence.
