While it\u2019s easy to think Emotional Intelligence or EQ as it\u2019s commonly referred to by the term Emotional Quotient) is all about mushy feelings, it\u2019s an idea born from psychological research and now strengthened by neuroscience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
It is an awareness of your own emotions and your ability to use that awareness in life situations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Well, the question is how do we understand ourselves? And how do we use that knowledge to succeed in the world around us?<\/span><\/p>\n
These questions have been answered in this Life class.<\/span><\/p>\n
An emotionally intelligent person is aware of the influence emotions have on people, acts accordingly, and consequently has more successful relationships all around.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Drawing on the work of Daniel Goleman, below are five pillars of emotional intelligence<\/span><\/p>\n
    \n
  • Self-awareness<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Self-regulation<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Self-motivation<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Empathy<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Social skills<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Although emotional intelligence seems to come naturally to some, our brain\u2019s plasticity means we <\/span>can<\/span><\/i> increase our emotional intelligence if we\u2019re willing to put in the work.<\/span><\/p>\n
    Here I would like to share my learning from the \u201cHappiness Program\u201d on the ways to boost our <\/span>Emotional Intelligence <\/b>skills that I could connect with these sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n
      \n
    • Listen to others<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Exude positivity and kindness<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Take responsibility for your actions<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Develop self-awareness<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Connect with breath and emotions (Meditate)<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Empathize<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
