Emotional intelligence can be developed! And this is good news. Moreover, emotional intelligence is the basis of emotional health. Emotional intelligence, namely its level, affects: - a sense of quality of life - creating happy relationships - choosing a suitable job - meeting interesting people - the ability to convey your position without conflict Are you interested in this? Then let's look into the workshop of emotions - into the brain! This is where emotions are born. After all, an emotion is a reaction to a stimulus. And a stimulus is a look, smell, color, sound, and so on. The ability to recognize emotions: 👉 read facial expressions 👉 determine the level of physical tension 🔥 A person thinks with his body - what does this mean? Emotions manifest themselves in the body: they can clench your fists, spasm your diaphragm, raise your shoulders, slouch your back, clench your jaw. The ability to recognize the emotions of other people is very clearly represented by the character in the film “Lie to Me.” Why develop it, after all? Very often, conflicts occur due to misunderstanding of each other . Sometimes one does not even try to convey his position to the other, because he does not feel that they want to hear him and want to understand him. You can often hear people say such phrases as “it is useless to prove anything to him.” Usually, the one who firmly stands on his position experiences anger or fear. And these feelings are not associated with the subject of the dispute, but with the fact that he may lose in this dispute. For him, this is a personal disaster. A person who develops his emotional intelligence will be able to sort out his feelings and understand that others are really right in this matter, and the fear of losing is associated with the situation of bullying in the 6th grade. And then a controversial work situation or family situation will not suffer due to an impasse or conflict, relationships will not deteriorate. Another element of developed emotional intelligence is the ability to understand the motives of other people. According to D. Rock, there are 2 motives: - avoid what poses a threat - strive for what brings security and pleasure : These two motives manifest themselves in the following areas: • status • certainty • autonomy • relatedness • justice Based on this, for example, at work, you can manage the emotional state of employees if: 💫 recognize the achievements of employees, 💫 know about how they live, what interests them, 💫 give the ability to independently organize your work and pay fairly for your work. In this example, we see that emotional intelligence underlies all life processes. Articles on ZenSign up for a consultation
