You are very likely already familiar with the term “emotional intelligence”. After all, in the world we live in, there is more and more talk about this capacity, which essentially concerns our ability to understand and manage our own emotions. With our feelings and emotions in good order, the aim is to achieve far greater quality of life and wellbeing in every area of life and, why not, with ourselves too.

But how do you develop this kind of intelligence, handling interpersonal relationships, connections and emotions better, while at the same time setting impulsiveness and anxiety aside?

A good way to get started on the subject is to understand that emotional intelligence is classified into 5 different pillars:

1. Self-awareness: the ability to recognise how you feel in response to different stimuli or triggers;

2. Emotional control: going beyond recognition, knowing how to manage and deal with your feelings and emotions in those situations;

3. Self-motivation: being able to channel feelings and emotions towards different ends, so that they result in self-motivation;

4. Social skills: the ability to build and maintain healthy interpersonal relationships;

5. Empathy: the ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes and understand their feelings and motivations.

The first step towards developing emotional intelligence is self-awareness: identifying your strengths and weaknesses and observing how you behave in different situations. It is through this analysis that you will gradually get to know yourself better, developing and building on your strengths, dealing better with the areas that are not so strong, and learning to access and manage your feelings.

You can be sure the benefits will be many.

With emotional intelligence, you may notice, among other benefits: greater self-confidence and self-esteem, more assertive decision-making, less everyday stress and anxiety, the development of leadership, better productivity, more empathy and emotional responsibility, less procrastination and self-sabotage, as well as success in different areas of life.
