Getting the Most out of Life

Emotional Intelligence is the Key.

Emotional Intelligence is the ability to recognise and navigate your own emotions and tune in to the emotions of those around you.

People who have higher levels of Emotional Intelligence tend to excel in their dealings with others because they are able to be aware of their emotions, they are able to make choices about how to respond rather than react to situations and they are able to sense and make sense of the emotions of others.

A higher level of Emotional Intelligence will bring you more success in the relationships you have with others. An awareness and understanding of emotions (both your own and the emotions of others) is necessary for building and maintaining healthy, long-lasting relationships, first with yourself and then with other people. If this seems like a daunting proposition, then you are not on your own, for most of us, this is a learnt skill.

Emotional Intelligence training can be of benefit if you find it difficult to identify and manage your own emotions, or you miss or inaccurately read other people’s emotions.

If you are aware of and able to navigate  your own emotions, then being aware of  and dealing with the emotions of others becomes quite easier.

Being able to ‘tune -in’ to the emotions of others’ helps you to successfully engage in the give-and-take that is so essential to forming solid relationships. Learning about Emotional Intelligence will help you to understand that your emotions are useful for:

* Understanding yourself – what you like, want and need most so that you avoid the disappointment of having to settle for less

* Basing your decisions on what really matters to you and to those closest to you

* Getting motivated to move toward your dreams and goals

* Recognising other people’s emotions and what they could mean

* Making your point when you communicate

The higher your Emotional Intelligence, the better able you are to recognise and accurately identify emotions and their triggers and use your emotions as an essential part of relating to others. Being educated about Emotional Intelligence helps you understand the fact that your emotions are the essential factor in igniting your motivation to make decisions, set goals, and strengthening old relationships or seeking out new ones. If you misunderstand your emotions and the signals they give you, or if you are unable to pick up on other people’s emotional signals, you risk making decisions on inaccurate information, setting goals that are too high or too low, putting undue pressure on current relationships, or missing out on productive new ones.

Taking the Emotionally Intelligent approach can help ensure that your decisions, goals and relationships in life will be the right ones for you.
