Emotional Intelligence

Date: 20th February 2022

Happy Sunday, Readers! How are you all doing today? I hope you had a nice Sunday, and I hope you had a relaxing weekend.

It is the end of the weekend, which means it is time to use our bodies and minds for the events of the new week and we all have to return to our various jobs and activities.

Many of us have been in relationships, whether present or the past, which is why I am sure we can relate to the topic.

Relationships are not an easy task because there are many things involved, and one of them is emotions/feelings.

Emotions are the pioneers of every relationship, and it is also the deciding factor to whether a relationship will be long-lasting or short.

Emotions/the way you feel can be incredibly deceiving sometimes because, like oxygen, we can’t see them, but we know they exist, and they guide us when we are dealing with other people.

Notice that if you don’t feel too good about another person, you won’t try to associate with them; instead, you will even find yourself avoiding them, but when you feel good about someone, you will find yourself going closer to them anytime you find the chance.

I have seen a lot of people who have given into their emotions, and while it is good to follow your feelings and not hold them in, your emotions can sometimes lead you to hurt yourself and even those around you.

Even if I know it may never be possible, I think it would be great if schools taught students how emotions work and how to control them, because many children come out of school thinking that academic skills are the only thing that matters in the world, but that isn’t true.

In the real world, we have to deal with tons of people.

Not everyone will have the same mentality as you, so I think it is essential for children to learn emotional intelligence because it will help them when they eventually enter society.

I am not very great at handling my emotions, and anytime I find myself being overwhelmed by them, I quickly turn to things that will take my mind off them, maybe writing an article or playing a game.

I say emotions can be our greatest enemy because we are usually not the ones who control how we feel about things, and sometimes we give other people control over our own emotions.

Most people let others control how they feel, and that is why you see them either depressed or confused because they are always in a never-ending loop of emotions, and they don’t even have the control switch for their emotions anymore.

When you let what others think or say about you control how you feel, you will eventually lose yourself.

Emotional intelligence is something I think we all need to have because it is when you have total control over your emotions that you will truly begin to live the way you want.

It has even been scientifically proven that when you are emotionally intelligent, you will be able to adapt better whenever change comes.

Not many people in the world love change, but when you have mastered/better control over your emotions, you will have all the tools necessary to deal with any change that occurs both in your life and workplace.

The best thing about emotional intelligence is that it benefits you in all areas of life.

Wherever you find yourself, whether in school, work, or at home when you learn to control your emotions, you will be able to adapt to anything.

Sometimes work can be hard, especially those jobs where you have to deal with customers/people, because you will always see people who will try to make you upset, which may lead to you having tough conversations.

If you have the right skills necessary, I am sure you will find it easier to communicate with the other individual, which would help you settle disputes and arguments easier.

As you can see, emotional intelligence has its benefits, but these are only a few of them, and there are still many more benefits, but for the sake of this article, I would only put these two in there.

I hope you have learned more about emotional intelligence and how your emotions can affect you and those around you with this article. Thank you for reading
