Your emotional potential is about to take off!

But first of all, what is emotional intelligence? Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize, manage and understand our own emotions and therefore develop the ability to understand the emotions of others.

When we learn to manage our emotions, we learn to perceive, identify and recognize our own emotions and also those of others through facial expressions, body language and tone of voice, among other things. Understanding emotions means that we learn to interpret the meaning of each of these and how thinking affects and generates different emotions and, as a result, certain behavior.

Given all this, we can take advantage of emotions to facilitate decision-making, the way of thinking and conflict resolution, among other things. Through the management of emotions, we also learn to influence people's lives in a conscious way.

Emotional intelligence is crucial for both personal and professional success, and people who manage and handle their emotional intelligence well have many benefits such as better relationships and can establish more meaningful connections than other people who do not know how to manage their emotional intelligence. As a consequence, they are also happier and experience better health as they learn to manage anxiety, stress and depression among other things.

All of this allows the person to be much more creative, productive and collaborative, in turn: they are much more effective leaders as they inspire and motivate team members. They also make better decisions and resolve conflicts in a positive way.

Now just imagine a little of all the benefits that come with managing emotional intelligence, the question now is how do I improve my emotional intelligence? The good thing about this is that you can learn to develop and strengthen emotional intelligence and I will explain to you what are some recommendations to do so:

First you have to work on self-knowledge, that is to say: you must reflect on your own emotions by identifying your strengths and weaknesses on an emotional level. All of this will allow you to learn to manage your emotions effectively, avoiding impulsive reactions and looking for the best strategies to deal with stress. In social skills, it allows you to develop a level of communication both in active listening and in the way of transmitting a message and thus conflict resolution. Empathy is also very important since it is important to put yourself in the place of others to try to understand their feelings and perspectives on certain issues. Are you ready to start working on your emotional intelligence?
