The core components of high EQ are the following: The ability to self-soothe. The key to managing emotion is to allow, acknowledge, and tolerate our intense emotions so that they evaporate, without getting stuck in them or taking actions we’ll later regret. Self-soothing is what enables us to manage our anxiety and upsets, which in turn allows us to work through emotionally charged issues in a constructive way. Emotional self-awareness and acceptance. If we don’t understand the emotions washing over us, they scare us, and we can’t tolerate them. We repress our hurt, fear, or disappointment. Those emotions, no longer regulated by our conscious mind, have a way of popping out unmodulated, as when a preschooler socks his sister or we (as adults) lose our tempers or eat a pint of ice cream. By contrast, children raised in a home in which there are limits on behavior but not on feelings grow up understanding that all emotions are acceptable, a part of being human. That understanding gives them more control over their emotions. Impulse control. Emotional intelligence liberates us from knee-jerk emotional reactions. A child (or adult) with high EQ will act rather than react and problem-solve rather than blame. It doesn’t mean you never get angry or anxious, only that you don’t fly off the handle. As a result, our lives and relationships work better. Empathy. Empathy is the ability to see and feel something from the other’s point of view. When you’re adept at understanding the mental and emotional states of other people, you resolve differences constructively and connect deeply with others. Naturally, empathy makes us better communicators.

Mind Quotient (Sonnet 1209) Throw away all stupidity of IQ and EQ, They are but stain upon mind's honor. To quantify intelligence is stupid, To quantify emotion is even stupider. When the feeble psyche seeks reassurance, It craves comfort in all sorts of nonsense. Most times it resorts to the supernatural, Exhausting that it resorts to pseudoscience. It is no mark of mental progress to replace supernatural bubble with pseudoscience bubble. No matter how they try to sell you security, Know that, human potential is unquantifiable. IQ is no measure of intelligence, EQ is no measure of emotion either. But craving for IQ and EQ is symptom of a shallow and feeble character.

Emotional awareness: The ability to hone in on how you feel, understand why you are feeling a particular way, and give each feeling a label. Emotionally intelligent people are not afraid of any emotion. They know that feelings are a natural, normal part of the human experience. Handling emotions: The ability to process your feelings and those of others in a constructive manner. For instance, someone with a high EQ is able to calm themselves down in a high-pressure situation. They are also able to soothe others when they are hurt and cheer them up when necessary. Harnessing emotions: The ability to channel your emotions in a useful way, for example in solving problems or expressing yourself creatively. For example, an artist who draws on their personal experiences in creating sculptures is demonstrating their emotional intelligence. Another way of looking at EQ is to think of it as a collection of skills: self-awareness, social awareness, relationship management, and self-management. The stronger your skills in these areas, the higher your EQ.

10 Watch EQ at the Movies Hollywood. It’s the entertainment capital of the world known for glitz, glamour, and celebrity. Believe it or not, Hollywood is also a hotbed of EQ, ripe for building your social awareness skills. After all, art imitates life, right? Movies are an abundant source of EQ skills in action, demonstrating behaviors to emulate or completely avoid. Great actors are masters at evoking real emotion in themselves; as their characters are scripted to do outrageous and obvious things, it’s easy to observe the cues and emotions on-screen. To build social awareness skills, you need to practice being aware of what’s happening with other people; it doesn’t matter if you practice using a box office hero or a real person. When you watch a movie to observe social cues, you’re practicing social awareness. Plus, since you are not living the situation, you’re not emotionally involved, and the distractions are limited. You can use your mental energy to observe the characters instead of dealing with your own life. This month, make it a point to watch two movies specifically to observe the character interactions, relationships, and conflicts. Look for body language clues to figure out how each character is feeling and observe how the characters handle the conflicts. As more information about the characters unfold, rewind and watch past moments to spot clues you may have missed the first time. Believe it or not, watching movies from the land of make-believe is one of the most useful and entertaining ways to practice your social awareness skills for the real world.

If your emotional abilities aren't in hand, if you don't have self-awareness, if you are not able to manage your distressing emotions, if you can't have empathy and have effective relationships, then no matter how smart you are, you are not going to get very far.” -Daniel Goleman

Salovey mentions the same, "The real challenge is to show that emotional intelligence matters over-and-above psychological constructs that have been measured for decades, like personality and IQ. I believe that emotional intelligence holds this promise

You usually don’t react to reality, but to your thoughts about reality!

Let’s state this again: the past does not exist. It is only a record in your head, in the form of multi-sensory memories. Why should you be worried so much about something that doesn’t exist anymore? Why would you waste your life away focusing your attention on a videotape, on a stretch of reality which is recorded?

proposed an actual concrete framework for looking at E.I. did it start to be taken seriously. It was coined the “Ability Model”  which initially proposed four elements or concepts to the model namely 1) The ability to perceive human emotion 2) The ability to integrate that emotion to facilitate thought 3) Fully understanding individual emotions 4) Regulating these emotions to promote personal growth.

When you have a severe lack of self-awareness, it follows that you will never be able to acknowledge the events in your life that you are responsible for.

There are two main types of self-regulation: behavioral and emotional self-regulation. Behavioral self-regulation involves regulating your own behavior and acting in a way that fulfills your best long-term interests. An example of behavioral self-regulation is what was mentioned above when you feel like quitting but show up anyway. Behavioral self-regulation enables you to feel one way but act differently because acting this way serves your best interests.

Emotional self-regulation, on the other hand, involves the regulation of emotions. As we saw earlier at the beginning of this book, we are all emotional creatures. However, we do not always have to be at the mercy of our emotions. It is possible to exercise control over your emotions so that you do not put yourself in jeopardy.

You can only self-regulate if you first hold yourself accountable for the actions you take. As long as an action remains someone else’s fault, you do not have any control over what that person does. However,

The second component of motivation is persistence.

People who lack self-awareness have a higher likelihood of looking outside of themselves for reasons to justify their behavior.

So, emotional intelligence revolves around empathy, and the ability to understand and manage your emotions.  Managing emotions is about understanding the trigger that had caused a particular emotion, and not responding to the trigger until you've had time to fully understand what you are feeling and why. And when you can manage your emotions, you can manage any situation you find yourself in.

People who are in touch with their feelings can easily tune in to those of others, which helps them understand where others are coming from and why they are doing or saying certain things. In some professions, it's impossible to do your job well unless you have this skill.

IQ is no measure of intelligence, EQ is no measure of emotion either. But craving for IQ and EQ is symptom of a shallow and feeble character.

We catch feelings from one another as though they were some kind of social virus.

Attunement to others demands a modicum of calm in oneself.

Feelings in families are more often avoided and managed than invited, expressed, and processed. So we learn how to find healing for the inevitable wounds of life by being more defensive, independent, or self-sufficient.

The best and worst of childhood typically get carried over into adulthood. What you do and how you think now is informed by the collective stories of your past experiences.

Emotional intelligence is about self-awareness, self-management, and relationship management.

In fact, some research studies have proved that people with brain damage resulting in not being able to experience emotions fully have reduced capacity to make good decisions. Even

Emotional intelligence truly came to the forefront of public consciousness in 1995, when science journalist Daniel Goleman published his groundbreaking book, Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ. Goleman expanded on Salovey and Mayer's model and proposed that EQ was a more significant determinant of success and well-being than traditional intelligence measured by IQ. His book sparked a revolution, not just in psychological circles but in businesses, schools, and homes worldwide. Over time, the concept of emotional intelligence has evolved and been refined. Despite the different models and definitions, its essence remains consistent: it's about recognizing, understanding, managing, and effectively using emotions in ourselves and others. Let's consider a practical scenario to illustrate this. Suppose you're in a team meeting at work, and tension is rising over a disagreement about a project. An emotionally intelligent person would recognize and manage their increasing frustration and notice the subtle signs of distress in others—clenched jaws, impatient foot tapping, and avoiding eye contact. They would then use this understanding to navigate the situation, perhaps by suggesting a short break or calmly expressing their viewpoint and encouraging others to do the same. They

To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness, it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate.

There are no guarantees, no magic pills, no holy grail. There is only poetry and probability.

Even if you surprise yourself with the strength of your own emotions and sudden resolve, it probably wasn’t so sudden after all. You were probably squashing down weeks, months or even years of irritation triggered by your job. To your unconscious mind, it wouldn’t come as a surprise at all! Emotionally intelligent people understand that we don’t always understand our own actions a lot of the time, and they aren’t scared to admit it either. People with high EQs respect the way in which the conscious and unconscious minds work together. Even when they end up doing something ‘out of character,’ they trust that there is a reason for their behaviour, and even if the final result is less than perfect, they resolve to learn from it. The unconscious mind doesn’t

According to experts, words are only 7% of effective communication. The rest of the 93% is accounted for by tone and body language.

Anyone can become angry—that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way, this is not easy.” We can thank Greek philosopher Aristotle for those words and enduring insight into managing our emotions and relationships. If you can master this one, consider your EQ journey a success. Anger is an emotion that exists for a reason—anger is not an emotion to stifle or ignore. If you manage it properly and use it purposefully, you can get results that enhance your relationships. Really. Think

Separate between confident, detached, and forceful correspondence styles, and practice self-assured and empathic interrelating." Every

EQ is so critical to success that it accounts for 58 percent of performance in all types of jobs.

When emotional intelligence was first discovered, it served as the missing link in a peculiar finding: people with the highest levels of intelligence (IQ) outperform those with average IQs just 20 percent of the time, while people with average IQs outperform those with high IQs 70 percent of the time. This anomaly threw a massive wrench into what many people had always assumed was the source of success—IQ. Scientists realized there must be another variable that explained success above and beyond one’s IQ, and years of research and countless studies pointed to emotional intelligence (EQ) as the critical factor. A

Emotional intelligence enables you to make better decisions based on what you are feeling under a given situation. It also helps to connect to others in ways that show that you care about them and the way they feel. Having a high EQ enables you to identify and control your emotions in a positive way, thus enhancing effective communication. A person with a greater EQ is able to cope with the daily stresses and struggles of life, and neutralize any potential conflicts, even as they continually empathize with others around them.

miscalculations, learning quickly, and moving on—is much easier with a strong mind-set to begin with. Failures often help make emotionally healthy people even better and stronger.

But first, here is an analogy that helps distill and define above components, given that your generation is far more technically astute in our increasingly interconnected, sophisticated, and inundated digital age: Your pragmatic psychology in your brain and nervous system is

weren’t clear yet, they would work toward developing clarity of goals because clarity is a must. Unclear or unnecessary complexity is an enemy to accomplishment. Winners apply and align both EQ and logic with purpose. Their empowering and positive beliefs and emotions radiate within themselves and onto others. They are purposefully and persistently action-oriented because without astute and effective execution, nothing matters. Strong leaders, especially successful and creative entrepreneurs, also have a compelling vision. I believe that a great way to predict the future is to create it (in my case, a vision of the future in which writing and publishing this book has

Scores climb with titles, from the bottom of the corporate ladder upward toward middle management. Middle managers stand out, with the highest EQ scores in the workforce. But up beyond middle management, there is a steep downward trend in EQ scores. For the titles of director and above, scores descend faster than a snowboarder on a black diamond.

Your EQ is greatly affected by your ability to keep this road well traveled. The more you think about what you are feeling—and do something productive with that feeling—the more developed this pathway becomes

There’s one thing you must remember—you can regulate your emotions. Once again, it is a skill, like any other. Calming down the unpleasant feelings when necessary, reinforcing the positive ones, whenever you want. In every single moment of your life, you can feel exactly as you want to feel. It will guide you directly to the conscious life in which creating lasting relationships and making new challenges will be accompanied by excitement and enjoyment rather than fear and stress.

We know from research (and common sense) that people who understand and manage their own and others’ emotions make better leaders. They are able to deal with stress, overcome obstacles, and inspire others to work toward collective goals. They manage conflict with less fallout and build stronger teams. And they are generally happier at work, too. But far too many managers lack basic self-awareness and social skills. They don’t recognize the impact of their own feelings and moods. They are less adaptable than they need to be in today’s fast-paced world. And they don’t demonstrate basic empathy for others: they don’t understand people’s needs, which means they are unable to meet those needs or inspire people to act. One of the reasons we see far too little emotional intelligence in the workplace is that we don’t hire for it. We hire for pedigree. We look for where someone went to school, high grades and test scores, technical skills, and certifications, not whether they build great teams or get along with others. And how smart we think someone is matters a lot, so we hire for intellect. Obviously we need smart, experienced people in our companies, but we also need people who are adept at dealing with change, understand and motivate others, and manage both positive and negative emotions to create an environment where everyone can be at their best.

The things that happen in our lives have a profound effect on how we view the world and experience life in the future.

Most of the things that bother us, our triggers, are our own personal challenges and have little to do with other people.

Our values are the first thing we need to consider when making a decision, since they create a decision ruler.

Increasing your emotional intelligence is a lifelong journey.

Ask yourself what actions, words, and attitudes would give you the best chance at achieving your desired outcome.

Our words have no meaning when the nonverbal message contradicts them!

One of the most powerful things that you can do to build positive relationships is to pay attention to everyone’s nonverbal communication and then ask about any telltale signs of an emotion.

Realizing that other people are coping in the best way that they know how can help us have empathy and understanding towards them.

We broaden our world when we have an outward mindset.

Knowing others is intelligence, knowing yourself is true wisdom; mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power.

We build the positivity of a relationship by asking nonjudgmental questions and listening intently to the answers.

This is perhaps particularly relevant for the Western culture where people usually don't like silence and tend to answer questions or make comments without thinking. Or even worse, believe that every silence has to be filled with a witty comment or a remark.
