Journey full of Emotions!!!

Leave a comment

I learned a lot throughout the sessions of Emotional Intelligence.
It is very important to be aware of our own emotions and also have empathy towards others.
Many a times, we neglect our emotions which in a way affect us and the people associated with us.
This life class is surely going to help me in my life.  After listening to different people and understanding different theories made me realise that it is difficult to be emotionally intelligent but not impossible.

I am grateful to this organisation and both the facilitators @Nandini ma’am and @Evelyn ma’am for facilitating the EI sessions .

Visit to the orphanage helped me realise that how Grateful our lives are and we keep stressing over small things.
We need to nourish and cherish our mind and body to be happy and be emotionally strong!

I will try taking this life class back to my life!

Forever Grateful!

 

 

Emotional Intelligence – “Why we need it now, more than never”

While it’s easy to think Emotional Intelligence or EQ as it’s commonly referred to by the term Emotional Quotient) is all about mushy feelings, it’s an idea born from psychological research and now strengthened by neuroscience. 

It is an awareness of your own emotions and your ability to use that awareness in life situations. 

Well, the question is how do we understand ourselves? And how do we use that knowledge to succeed in the world around us?

These questions have been answered in this Life class.

An emotionally intelligent person is aware of the influence emotions have on people, acts accordingly, and consequently has more successful relationships all around. 

Drawing on the work of Daniel Goleman, below are five pillars of emotional intelligence

  • Self-awareness
  • Self-regulation
  • Self-motivation
  • Empathy
  • Social skills

Although emotional intelligence seems to come naturally to some, our brain’s plasticity means we can increase our emotional intelligence if we’re willing to put in the work.

Here I would like to share my learning from the “Happiness Program” on the ways to boost our Emotional Intelligence skills that I could connect with these sessions.

  • Listen to others
  • Exude positivity and kindness
  • Take responsibility for your actions
  • Develop self-awareness
  • Connect with breath and emotions (Meditate)
  • Empathize

The more regular we are and the more we sustain our practice, the easier it will be to dive deeper within to find our inner strength, our sense of self-esteem, a sense of creativity, and our inborn intuitive ability – and that translates into Emotional Intelligence.
