📚 LIFE SKILLS

Question: How can you improve your emotional intelligence?

1. Catch your feelings in action. Pause when emotion spikes.
2. Name the emotion. Label it to tame it.
3. Ask “why” five times. Get to the root cause.
4. Mirror others’ feelings. Reflect what they feel, not what you think.
5. Practice empathy daily. Try seeing life through someone else’s lens.
6. Control your reaction. That’s real emotional mastery.

Put simply, Emotional Intelligence is how well individuals identify and manage their own emotions and react to the emotions of others. It’s understanding how those emotions shape your thoughts and actions so you can have greater control over your behaviour and develop the skills to manage yourself more effectively. Becoming more emotionally conscious allows us to grow and gain a deeper understanding of who we are, enabling us to communicate better with others and build stronger relationships.
