EQ, otherwise known as Emotional Intelligence is a measure (through a standardized test) of one’s capability to recognize and acknowledge his emotions and that of others. As a matter of fact, it has been said that it is, at times far more important than IQ (Intelligence quotient) to survive in this world. EQ can be akin to being street-smart versus being book-smart, or IQ. It is actually EQ that will help you navigate your relationships (family, personal, and work-related), success in career (because you need to work with people, not just machines) and life in general. So, after that being said, let’s move forward and learn ways on how to further improve EQ:
· Learn how to identify the toxic people in your life and do something about it, NOW – People attract energies and sometimes, when you are being negative, you attract someone negative and then you both drown in too much negativity to the point that you are not even noticing the saturation anymore. This is not good for your EQ. You are closing doors to grow and learn. Negativity makes your brain dull since there is no room for new learning.
· Negative emotions are a part of life, but it doesn’t mean you have to give them a room and invite them for a stay overnight – First, let us try to identify negative emotions. It could be anger, hate, shame, sadness or jealousy. The list could be long, but the focus is not there. Of course, you are human, and you may not have the power to make yourself feel only positive emotions. There will always be times when circumstances call for negative emotions. The point is to learn how to acknowledge and let go the negative, so you may start processing the situation and be able to move forward to the positive.
IQ, EQ and social intelligence goes hand in hand. These are the three important factors you need to focus on if you want to improve your intelligence and your life.
