What's your emotional IQ?

Bet I made you think a bit there. Most of us are used to
thinking of intelligence as relating to being "smart" or
intellectual, good at solving problems or having a good memory.
But now psychologists and sociologists are seeing intelligence
as being much broader than that.

Emotional intelligence is being aware of and recognizing
your feelings, which in turn helps you to manage your emotions.
And when you can manage your emotions, you can motivate yourself
and focus on a goal, instead of wanting instant gratification.
Someone with high emotional intelligence is also able to understand
the feelings of others. So this means they can work better with
others and develop more fulfilling personal relationships.
In fact, emotional intelligence can be the best indicator of
human success, personally and professionally.

And,the good news is that you can develop your emotional
intelligence. If you'd like to boost your emotional IQ,
here are a few tips:

If you're upset, take a moment to step back and consider
what it is that is really bothering you about a situation.
Remember, not everything is "about you." Don't be too
quick to take things personally.
Listen – really pay attention to others when they talk to you.
Before you judge someone, imagine how you would feel in the
other person's situation.
Try to be open-minded about other people's moods, opinions,
or beliefs.
The Golden Rule always works: treat others the way you would
want to be treated.

So,getting a handle on your emotions and developing your powers of empathy could set you up for a more fulfilling life.

Treat You the right way,
