    Emotional intelligence (EQ) involves self-awareness of one's own emotions and the ability to understand and manage emotions. EQ helps with building relationships, decision-making, and dealing with difficult situations. It is as important as IQ for success in life. Improving EQ involves practices like labeling one's emotions, understanding others' perspectives, managing emotional reactions appropriately, and choosing moods suited to different situations. EQ skills develop with age as the parts of the brain responsible for self-management mature beyond adolescence. Responding assertively rather than passively or aggressively is important for effective EQ.

    Emotional

    Intelligence
    • Emotional Intelligence is sometimes
    called EQ ( or EI) for short. Just as a high
    IQ can predict test scores, a high EQ can
    predict success in social and emotional
    situations. EQ helps us build strong
    relationships, makes good decisions, and
    deal with difficult situations. EQ helps us
    to build strong relationship , make good
    decisions , and deal with difficult
    situations.
    One way to think about EQ is that
    it’s part of being people-smart.
    Understanding and getting along with
    people helps us to be successful in
    almost any area of life. In fact , some
    studies shows that EQ is more
    important than IQ when it comes to
    doing well in school or being successful
    or being successful at work.
    IMPROVING YOUR EQ
    • Being Aware of Your Emotions – simpley
    noticing them as we feel them and helps us to
    manage our own emotions. It also helps us
    understand how other people feel. But some
    people might go through the entire day without
    really noticing their emotions. Practice
    recognizing emotions as you feel them. Label
    them in your mind( for example, by saying to
    yourself “I feel grateful, “I feel frustrated.” Etc.
    Make it a daily habit to be aware of your
    emotions.
    • Understanding How Others Feel and Why
    Part of EQ is being able to imagine how
    other people might feel in certain situations. It
    is also about understanding why they feel the
    way they do. Being able to imagine what
    emotions a person is likely to be feeling ( even
    when you don’t actually know) is called
    empathy. Empathy helps us care about others
    and build good friendships and relationships. It
    guides us on what to say and how to behave
    around someone who is feeling strong
    emotions.
    • Managing Emotional Reaction
    We all get angry. We all have
    disappointments. often it’s important to express
    how you feel. But managing your reaction means
    knowing when, where, and how to express
    yourself. When you understand your emotions and
    know how to manage them, you can use self-
    control to hold reaction if now is not the right time
    or place to express it. Someone who has good EQ
    knows it can damage relationships to react to
    emotions in a way that’s disrespectful, too intense ,
    too impulsive, or harmful.
    • Choosing Your Mood
    Moods are emotional states that last a bit.
    We have the power to decide what mood is
    right for the situation and then to get into that
    mood. Choosing the right mood can help
    someone get motivated, concrete on task, or try
    again instead of giving up. People with good
    EQ knows that mood aren’t just things that
    happen to us. We can control them by knowing
    which mood is best for a particular situation
    and how to get into that mood.
    • Emotional intelligence is something
    that develops as we get older. If
    didn’t, all adults would act like kids,
    expressing their emotions physically
    through stomping, crying, hitting,
    yelling and losing control.
    Some of the skills that makeup
    emotional intelligence develop earlier. They
    may seem easier: For example, recognizing
    emotions seems easy once we know what to
    pay attention to. But the EQ skill of
    managing emotional reactions and choosing
    a mood seem harder to master. Thats
    because the part of the brain that’s
    responsible for self-management continues
    to mature beyond our teen years. But
    practice help those brain pathways develop.
    Types of Responses
    • Passive Response: Behaving passively means
    not expressing your own needs and failures, or
    expressing them so weakly that they will not be
    addressed.
    • Aggressive Response: Behaving aggressively is
    asking for what you want or saying how you feel
    in threatening, sarcastic, or humiliating way that
    may offend the other persons.
    • Assertive Response: Behaving assertively
    means asking fir what you want or saying how
    you feeling an honest and respectful way that
    does not infringe on another person’s rights or
    put the individual down.
