Emotional intelligence
(EI), often referred to as emotional
quotient
(EQ}, is the ability to recognize,
understand,
manage, and influence our own emotions, as well as the
emotions of others. Unlike traditional
intelligence,
which
focuses on cognitive abilities
such as problem-solving
or
logical reasoning,
emotional intelligence
encompasses a wide
range of skills and behaviours
that impact how we interact
with the world around us.
At the core of emotional intelligence
are five key components:
self-awareness,
self-regulation,
motivation,
empathy and
social skills.
Self-awareness
is the foundation of emotional
intelligence.
It refers to the ability to recognize and
understand
one's own emotions and how those emotions affect
thoughts,
behaviours
[15 w.p.m] and interactions
with others.
A person with high self-awareness
is in tune with their
emotional state and can identify what they are feeling at any
given moment.
This level of awareness allows individuals
to respond
thoughtfully
rather than react impulsively.
[20 w.p.m] It also
involves recognizing
patterns in one's emotional responses and
understanding
how personal beliefs and past experiences
shape
current emotions.
People who possess strong self-awareness

growth. Self-regulation
is the ability to control
impulsive feelings and behaviours,
managing your emotional
reactions
in healthy ways. It allows you to stay calm under
pressure,
avoid making rash decisions and adapt to changing
circumstances.
Motivation in emotional intelligence
refers
to achieve goals for reasons beyond external
personal satisfaction.
It fuels perseverance
the face of challenges.
