It can be hard to manage big emotions while we’re at work. It’s even harder if we’re not aware of what we’re thinking and feeling. That’s the reason why being aware of our emotions plays a big role if we’re aiming to be emotionally intelligent (EI). You’re emotionally intelligent if you can handle your own emotions as well as understand the emotions of people around you and can regulate those emotions.
Knowing yourself is the best tool in regulating your emotions because you know your triggers, and are aware of your reactions. This does not mean you won’t ever react–instead of respond–to difficult news, though. You don’t become a robot. But, it does mean that you will understand yourself and others better.
Some Signs that you’re emotionally intelligent are:
Being aware of how you present yourself to others - Embracing change
If you express yourself assertively - You live a balanced life
You’re curious and eager to learn - You’re empathetic
You’re grateful for what you have
You have a strong sense of self-awareness
Being emotionally intelligent empowers you to deeply know that other people’s emotions are not about you. They’re responsible for their emotions and you’re responsible for yours.
