How can you control your emotions?

Have you ever been with a person who is caring, polite, calm, heart warming and gentle? If yes, then you have met an emotionally intelligent person.

Emotional intelligence (EQ) is an ability of a person to control emotions and it is more important than IQ in practical life. If you only have high IQ, you can do well in your college but u can’t do well in your practical life.

But don’t worry, you can also become emotionally intelligent by following: Self awareness, self management, empathy, socially skilled.

Self awareness: Self awareness is creating a good relationship with your own emotions. How? For creating this relationship, you need to understand what caused your sadness, anger or anxiety. Let’s say, someone hurts you then besides crying or hurting yourself, you need to find a solution. Try to look with others views and if you find out their reasons forgive them or wait until they realize their mistakes. This is how self awareness works.

Self management: It’s about knowing how you can get over certain feelings like: if u are sad you need to do things that make you happy or make you feel better. Try meditation or write your feelings on paper and throw it away; you will feel good by doing this.

Empathy: Showing your kindness to others is called empathy. We all make mistakes but understanding the reasons for mistakes, you can make a better decision. So be kind to others and give them a shoulder to cry on.

Social skills: These are the skills that make your bonds with others. If you’ll help others, they’ll help you. If you understand others, they’ll understand you. And in this way, you’ll be able to make your bonds with others.

Disadvantages: sometimes, we become very emotional and we say things that we don’t want to say. And we make decisions that we don’t want to make. As a result, we face stress, depression, anxiety, high blood pressure, heart attacks, and trouble sleeping. So to avoid these things, you should be emotionally intelligent.

Take aways: Try not to hurt anyone because if you hurt someone he can also hurt you. Be good to others if u want them to be good with you. Try to understand others, it will help you to be less stressed, anxious and depressed. It will also be peaceful.
