Techniques To Improve Your Emotional Intelligence


Emotional Intelligence, or EI, describes an ability or capacity to perceive, assess, and manage the emotions of one's self, and of others. Lets start like that what is important in our life's.

1- belonging
2- love
3- happiness / contentment / joy
4- success

These all points are directly related with our emotions. Even if you answer power, control, sex, status, or money, chances are, you can only get them (in a lasting way) if you use your emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is a way of recognizing, understanding, and choosing how we think, feel, and act. It shapes our interactions with others and our understanding of ourselves. It defines how and what we learn; it allows us to set priorities; it determines the majority of our daily actions. Because emotional intelligence is so closely tied to the ways we relate to ourselves and others, it is responsible for as much “Happiness” and “Success” in our lives.

To improve yourself in any part of the life you must know that our cognitive, emotional and social skills play a vital role to develop a positive personality. Tools or techniques of EI.

1- To know yourself ;- It is very important you should know what and who you are? Your likeness and dis likeness? Your good and bad points etc. To be very straight to know yourself, to choose yourself and to give yourself. It includes self awareness, goals , commitment and what/how you desire to be. Please don't forget my old techniques interpretation of your own self that helps.

2- A feeling that you need a change in your current circumstances;- Once you know yourself then picture will be clear for you where and why you need improvement. Motivation and action play a great role to achieve this goal.

3- An openness to new ideas;- Creativity is defined as the tendency to generate or recognize ideas, alternatives, or possibilities that may be useful in solving problems, communicating with others, and entertaining ourselves and others. In order to be creative, you need to be able to view things in new ways or from a different perspective. Think and discuss with your dear-one about your ideas and how to achieve it.

4- A commitment to action on the new ideas ;-A commitment is a really serious agreement to do something. It means putting the full force of personal integrity behind an action. Keeping commitments, even when difficult, creates positive power in the world. It’s all a question of priorities. To meet your new ideas you must have honesty, tenacity, willingness to take responsibility and for all this to make go one should be “motivated”.

Have a good day - Keep smiling!
