Emotional Intelligence at Play

Difficulty dealing with emotions?

Emotions are an outward psychological expression of a particular situation that is experienced mentally or physically. Emotions are there for a use not just as an after effect. Any emotion you experience directs you to an area that needs your immediate attention.  Commonly you must have heard that being emotional is a good or bad thing. But emotions cannot be labelled as either good or bad. Emotions are an outward expression of a feeling that you experience.

Why is EQ so important?

As explained, emotions have a particular use and the most important one is to channelize your energies. If you understand your feeling underlying that emotion it is easier to manage. Emotional  Intelligence is the ability to understand, utilize your emotions in an effective way and also help others understand theirs.

Emotional  Quotient is, therefore, the ability to use emotions to achieve your goals and also help other people with their destructive emotions. Managing emotions is not easy as they stem from your deep-rooted psyche. If you score high on EQ, your aptitude to learn new things increases due to enhanced cognitive functioning.

Why being emotionally  Intelligent will pave your way to your success?

“What really matters for success, character, happiness, and lifelong achievements is a definite set of emotional skills – your EQ — not just purely cognitive abilities that are measured by conventional IQ tests.”

— Daniel Goleman
