THE DANGER OF LOW EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Emotional Intelligence is the ability to understand the emotions you’re feeling and their impact on your behaviors. Our level of emotional intelligence affects our ability to make effective decisions. People with high emotional intelligence have the ability to manage his or her emotions and turn those emotions into energy when doing those activities that they don’t want to do, but must do in order to be successful.

 The most common emotion in business is FEAR. Fear is the ultimate success killer. Feat turns some of us into cowards and makes heroes out of others. Our emotions control our self awareness, self confidence, ability to communicate, influence, and accept change. When you begin to understand your emotions and turn them into positive energy, you will see your performance increase exponentially.

 Use the following steps to develop emotional intelligence:

 1.    Become Emotionally Literate

Start controlling your feelings rather than labeling people or situations.

 2.    Turn Anger Into Energy

Harness your anger and use it for energy to take productive actions.

 3.    Separate Thoughts & Feelings

Thoughts: I feel like (I Think)

Feelings: I feel (I Am)

 4.    Listen To Your Feelings

Your feelings communicate emotional needs, embrace them and learn from them.

 5.    Avoid The Haters

Do your best to avoid negative talkers and negative thinkers. Iron sharpens iron so surround yourself with people who add value to your life.

 

That’s food for thought, you do the dishes.
