Emotional Intelligence

Emotional Intelligence is the ability to manage one’s own emotions and relate well with others.
It is a crucial factor throughout our lives.

Emotional Intelligence is composed of four parts: To perceive or sense emotions, To use emotions to assist thought, To understand emotions, To manage emotions.

To develop Emotional Intelligence we should develop skills to achieve a happy and successful life. In every field E.I is 2 times as important as cognitive abilities. E.I is not however, just about scores and results. It’s about our ability to understand what we’re feeling and manage those feelings so they don’t negatively affect others. It’s also about understanding what is going on in others and using that knowledge to manage situations effectively. It is not about being nice all the time; it’s about being honest. It’s not about being touchy but about being aware of our feelings and those of others. It is not about being emotional it’s about being smart with our Emotions.

Unless we learn what makes us its difficult to control our behavior let alone prevent our emotions to control us but once we know ourselves, our strengths, weaknesses our boundaries and breaking points we can develop strategies to prevent unwanted circumstances and situations.

The more we nourish ourselves, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually, the optimally healthier we will all be.
