Positive Solutions 4 Life-Transforming Your Mind & Body from the Inside Out

Foundation of Emotional Intelligence


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re exploring three foundational skills that fuel emotional intelligence: self-reflection, self-awareness, and self-regulation.

These aren’t just buzzwords. When practiced, they can transform the way you handle challenges, relationships, and even your sense of self.

Here’s what we’ll cover in this episode:

  • The five components of emotional intelligence and why the first two—self-awareness and self-regulation—are essential.

  • What self-reflection really means (and what it’s not).

  • How self-awareness helps you recognize emotions in the moment.

  • The role of self-regulation in choosing thoughtful responses over impulsive reactions.

  • How these three skills work together like a cycle to build resilience, stronger relationships, and better decision-making.

  • Practical strategies you can start today: journaling, mindfulness, feedback, stress management, and “if/then” plans.

    Think of it this way:

    • Self-reflection = GPS check

    • Self-awareness = your dashboard

    • Self-regulation = your driving skills

      Together, they form the foundation of emotional intelligence, guiding you safely toward the life you want with more clarity, confidence, and compassion.
