What's your EQ? Yes, I said EQ not IQ. Our intellect is one component of our minds but another, equally important, component is our emotional intelligence. And yes, it's a thing - a very real and necessary thing. So today let's talk about emotional intelligence.
For a really in-depth look at emotional intelligence click here. But if you want the brief overview, I've done my best to be brief with the info below.
Each of us has an EQ - it could be low, it could be high, it could be somewhere in between.
As with anything we can abuse what we have. We can have an emotional intelligence that appears healthy but we are using to manipulate others. So we have to be careful, part of true and good emotional intelligence is being aware of the potential it carries to abuse it and therefore others. There can be a dark side to emotional intelligence, read about those thoughts here.
So today's #FridayFeeling is about our emotional intelligence, what's yours? If it's low what can you do to improve it? If you have a high EQ then do some self-examination to make sure you aren't using it to hurt (manipulate) others and yourself as well.
