Study Notes

Improving Emotional Intelligence

  • Recognize Emotions: Pay attention to daily emotional fluctuations. Note feelings (e.g., stressed, confused) and any patterns. Analyze how these feelings affect your day.

  • Manage Emotions: Adopt an objective perspective on feelings, looking for both positive and negative aspects. Uncover underlying reasons for emotions. For example, stress may arise from a late wake-up, but also consider potential benefits like extra sleep. Don't dwell on negative emotions; allow them to pass and focus on solutions.

  • Handle Others' Emotions: Empathy is vital for emotional intelligence. Active listening is key. Acknowledge others' feelings and ask clarifying questions. For instance, if a colleague expresses frustration and resignation, ask open-ended questions to understand the situation. Emphasize understanding their emotional responses without offering immediate opinions.
