    HOW TO ACHIEVE EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE


    Emotional intelligence is a valuable skill that many people strive to master. It’s a combination of self-awareness, self-regulation, social awareness, and constructive relationships that bring about a person’s ability to understand their own emotions, as well as those of others.


    This understanding can lead to improved communication, better decision-making, and overall higher performance in both personal and professional life. Developing emotional intelligence is not easy; however, it can still be learned and mastered with consistent effort and dedication.


    In this blog post, we will discuss how to achieve emotional intelligence, including practical tips and strategies that can be implemented in everyday life.


    Whether you’re looking to improve a relationship, better your workplace performance, or just become more aware of your own emotions, this blog post is for you.


    By the end, you should have a better understanding of what emotional intelligence is and how to use it to your advantage. So, let’s get started!



    1. Develop Self-Awareness


    Developing self-awareness is the foundation for emotional intelligence. Self-awareness is the ability to recognize and understand your feelings and behaviors and how they influence situations and people around you.


    It is important to know what you are feeling and why you are feeling it. This understanding can help you make better choices by recognizing the potential consequences of each emotion and behavior.


    Being self-aware can also give you insight into your strengths, weaknesses, and values. With this knowledge, you can better assess and manage your emotions and behaviors, and make more intelligent decisions.



    2. Identify and Manage Your Emotions


    Emotional intelligence is about being aware of your emotions and learning how to manage them. It is essential to developing healthy relationships and achieving success in life.


    The first step to emotional intelligence is being able to identify your emotions. You can do this by simply noticing how you feel and asking yourself questions like, “What am I feeling right now?” Once you’ve identified your emotions, the next step is to manage them.


    You can use techniques such as deep breathing, journaling, and talking to someone to help you process your feelings and make better decisions. With practice, you can gain greater control over your emotions and become more emotionally intelligent.



    3. Develop Empathy


    Developing empathy is an essential part of achieving emotional intelligence. Empathy is the ability to perceive and understand the feelings, thoughts, and experiences of others.


    By being able to “walk in someone else’s shoes”, we can gain insight into their motivations and better understand the situations they are going through. This can help us solve conflicts more effectively, build stronger relationships, and develop a greater understanding of our own emotions.


    To become more empathetic, focus on active listening, practice self-awareness, and put yourself in the other person’s position. This will help you to become more understanding and compassionate.



    4. Maintain Positive Relationships


    Maintaining positive relationships is an important part of emotional intelligence. Positive relationships foster feelings of security, self-worth, and support.


    Cultivating and maintaining these relationships is essential for our emotional wellbeing. To do this, it is important to practice empathy, be a good listener and active communicator, and show respect and kindness towards those around you.


    It is also important to be aware of the impact your behaviour has on those around you. By being thoughtful and mindful of the relationships you have, you can create and sustain healthy connections with others.



    5. Communicate Effectively


    Communication is one of the most important skills for emotional intelligence. This means being able to both express your thoughts and feelings to others, as well as listen to theirs.


    Effective communication requires being able to understand different perspectives and how to best respond to them in a way that is respectful and understanding. Good communication also means being able to be assertive and to set boundaries, while still being open to hearing other people’s opinions.


    Working on your communication skills will not only help you to be more emotionally intelligent, but it can also help your relationships with others to be more meaningful and productive.



    6. Handle Stress


    We all experience stress, whether psychologically, emotionally, or physically. It can be caused by external events like a job loss, or internal events like a nagging worry.


    To achieve emotional intelligence, it is important to learn how to manage stress in a healthy way. There are several strategies you can use.


    First, it is important to recognize and acknowledge when you are feeling overwhelmed. Taking a few deep breaths and counting to ten can help you to take stock of the situation and decide on an appropriate response.


    Secondly, it is important to identify what is causing your stress. Once you know the source, you can find ways to address it either directly or indirectly.


    Lastly, try to practice healthy self-care activities like meditation, yoga, or journaling, which can provide a sense of wellbeing and peace.



    7. Make Good Decisions


    Making good decisions is a key part of achieving emotional intelligence. When we take the time to make well thought out decisions, we are able to take into consideration more than just our own wishes and feelings.


    We can think about the potential outcomes of our decisions, and how they may affect our relationships with others. This involves learning to step back and objectively review the situation and our possible decisions.


    We can also use our emotional intelligence to understand the emotions of those around us, and weigh these perspectives into our decisions. By taking the time to make decisions thoughtfully and considerately, we become more emotionally intelligent.



    8. Learn Conflict Resolution


    Conflict resolution is an important part of emotional intelligence. When faced with a conflict, it is important to take a step back, assess the situation objectively, and look for a solution that is beneficial to both parties.


    It is also important to be willing to compromise and understand the perspective of the other party.


    Learning to effectively resolve conflicts can help to reduce stress, build trust, and strengthen relationships. Additionally, it can help to improve communication and build better team dynamics.



    Conclusions


    Emotional intelligence is an important tool for success in life. It involves understanding and managing your own emotions, as well as those of others.


    It can be developed through self-reflection, recognizing and understanding emotions, and communicating effectively.


    With practice, you can improve your emotional intelligence and achieve greater success in life.

    THE IMPORTANCE OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE


    The importance of emotional intelligence has to do with knowing how to control emotions for our own well-being. That is why said Emotional Intelligence is the plus that will really allow us to live a life with greater confidence and security.

    Many people are deluded into thinking that high intelligence quotients, those determined by tests, or success in business give us the label of "self-confident", and with that fact they already believe that it is enough to feel fulfilled. That is a false perception of things.

    You can be the most efficient surgeon, the best architect, the most honest lawyer, the most outstanding soccer player, the most enterprising merchant; but if you do not have emotional intelligence in your life there will always be instability. The reason is very simple to explain but not easy to understand, especially for those who have a selfish and linear thought focused in only one direction according to which they are always the right ones and the others are the wrong ones.

    Many people who are successful in their careers and have problems in other aspects of their lives are not able to handle them properly because their emotions run rampant. Many examples could be given of people who are brilliant in business and their careers, and yet at the family or couple level they are totally unstable because they cannot control their impulsiveness, this is because said person lacks the concept of Emotional Intelligence.

    Many of the people who are successful in certain aspects of their lives are arrogant, and this arrogance makes them forget that in other facets they could also be the best.

    The instability of these people occurs because to achieve such emotional intelligence, the first thing to do is to recognize your own weaknesses and defects in yourself, and to be tougher, perhaps we could talk about having to defeat that "gross" side. and "stupid" in us.

    From there, from the analysis of those weaknesses, from recognizing them, something very valuable is achieved: acquiring empathy. That is understanding what others feel, the ego begins to deflate, and one is more careful about the things that are said and the reactions that one has; It is like a whole mental prophylaxis that frees you from egomania, arrogance, pettiness and other mental conflicts that do not leave a part of our being alone.

    It's like a mental revolution, since you get used to watching each of your thoughts to do the right thing, not only for the benefit of one but for the good of others. That is something very important, because that way our conscience is clear. But of course, learning or acquiring Emotional Intelligence is a process that takes time, it is a winding path, with ups and downs, and yet it is worth going through because controlling our emotions is the key to our happiness. And do not forget that said control implies perseverance in decreeing positive thoughts in the mind.

    Finally, it must be said that acquiring empathy is the first step to firmly develop said Emotional Intelligence, which is much more important in life than achieving titles or achieving success at work, because controlling emotions gives you true stability.

    Having emotional intelligence is having the correct balance to adequately weigh successes and failures and be able to locate yourself at the point of balance, the right point where a serene, sensible and happy person should always be.
