Emotional quotient (EQ) is the biggest “turning point” for us to lead a happy, healthy and meaningful life, because it is a skill that all of us can develop and acquire. The beauty of EQ is that it is all-encompassing and has a place in each of us.
Like all other skills that are worth improving, we must also spend time developing it.
First, let’s define what emotional intelligence is. Yale University President Peter Salovey and John Mayer of the University of New Hampshire believe that it is a capability that can:
“Recognize, understand and manage our own emotions, as well as recognize, understand and influence the emotions of others. In practice, this means that we must realize that emotions can drive our behavior and (positively and negatively) affect others , But also learn how to manage these emotions-whether it’s us> Don’t let negative emotions like fear, anger, and jealousy ruin your day; instead, you should understand why you feel this way, so that you can manage yourself confidently and calmly, and make you happy and healthy .
Imagine carefully how you want to respond to positive and negative emotions and write it down. This will allow you to have a self-knowledge that helps you manage yourself at every moment.
They try to enrich the lives of others
“Empathy is to see with others’ eyes, listen with others’ ears, and feel with others’ hearts.” – Alfred Adler
The phrase “Do not do what you want, do not impose on others” is a golden rule, and it actually happened long ago. It has a history of thousands of years and is one of the most advanced wisdoms in the world. It has benefited mankind in many ways and has withstood the test of time, because it was formed through external exploration and contact with people.
It prompts us to stand in the position of others, showing that we care about them and are willing to give them their own time and attention, of course, even love. Empathy is “the ability to understand or feel what others are experiencing from the frame of reference of others, that is, the ability to think about others in a position.”
Self-consciousness precedes empathy, so the first thing to focus on is how to help yourself. As the saying goes, when you encounter bumps or dangers on an airplane, you must reach out and put on a mask for yourself before you can help others. After doing so, you can spend time with others and show them your concern. At this time, you can listen to your heart and bring happiness, happiness and tranquility to the lives of others.
How to enrich the lives of others:
Be a good listener. Put your own things aside first. Listen to them and think about them in order to show them your concern.
At least spend time and energy every week to do a good deed for others; this is a good way to connect with people with selfless love.
Help them learn new things or build connections between them by helping them achieve their goals.
Remember:
Every one of us has the ability to improve our emotional intelligence every day and cultivate this
