EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

 

I will now introduce you to the concept of EQ,- Emotional Intelligence

EQ is an important part of your road to success. You would not be able to experience different feelings like joy and satisfaction, without having any form of emotional intelligence. You would not be able to discriminate between good and bad feelings and why they occur.

Emotional intelligence is the ability of making conscious choices of thoughts, feelings, and actions when relating with yourself and others. It is essential in your relationships with your family, friends and colleagues.

 

According to the psychological definition , there is 5 different characteristics who defines Emotional Intelligence:

 

1. Self-awareness--knowing your emotions, recognizing feelings as they occur, and discriminating between them

 

2. Mood management--handling feelings so they're relevant to the current situation and you react appropriately

 

3. Self-motivation--"gathering up" your feelings and directing yourself towards a goal, despite self-doubt, inertia, and impulsiveness

 

4. Empathy--recognizing feelings in others and tuning into their verbal and nonverbal cues

 

5. Managing relationships--handling interpersonal interaction, conflict resolution, and negotiations
