What Eq Really Is?

[Uncover]

Hello! 

I have heard of this term some time ago but still, it is not clear to me what it really is. I even took a test from which resulted that I have a very poor, below average Emotional Intelligence. Why is even important to be emotional intelligent? How can I develop it? Can you recommend me some good books helping me developing my emotional intelligence? 

Thank you!

A great book that covers what emotional Intelligence (EQ for short) is is emotional Intelligence 2.0. 

It will reveal the different pillars of what emotional Intelligence is and give you tools for how you how to develop it. So I reccomend you buying that book for further information on this topic. There are lots of great suggestions in the book that you can follow. It is also important to meditate as it is directly related to EQ.

Meditation can make you more aware of the present moment; this includes your feelings and thoughts. So you will be more aware of emotions and thoughts which obviously increases your emotional intelligence noticably.

Emotional intellligence is very important if you want to live an authentic, successful, less stressful, less neurotic life.

People with a low EQ tend to be at the mercy of their emotions. They are slaves to then. They let their emotions direct the path of their lives as they weave through life trying to avoid situations that provoke negative emotions and seek ones that provoke positive ones. Low EQ will generate a lot of 'drama' in your life.

Emotional intelligence will help you to be less reactive to the circumstances of life and better able to respond more apropraitely when you do feel emotions. More often peop react to their emotions rather than respond to the situation that triggered them. There is a difference. Something that having a higher EQ will reveal.

@Uncover EQ is social skills pre much. everyone has some degree of emotional intelligence unless your brain dead autistic, but the people with the most emotional intelligence are the more social people who typically tend to thrive in other areas of life aswell. a.k.a workplace situations, finance, relationships everything haha
