The heart lesson

The positive attitude that helped me secure my mind might not sustain, there’s an emotional element that needs to consider.

I call emotional intelligence the most difficult lesson to learn. It includes emotional perception, the ability to reason using emotions, the ability to understand emotions, and the ability to manage emotions.

The nonverbal signals of our body language and facial expressions are the first step. Our emotions help us prioritize what we pay attention to and react to; we respond emotionally to things that garner our attention. It can be a bit tricky as our emotions may perceive a wide variety of meanings.

The ability to manage emotions effectively is a crucial part. We need to regulate our emotions and respond to them appropriately not just to others but to ourselves too!
