6 Ways To Raise Your Emotional Intelligence (EQ)

Being able to talk easily and connect with others. Being socially responsible demonstrates that you really care about others and not just about your own personal gain.

Having a high emotional intelligence gives you the social skills to manage the emotions of others too.

Raising your emotional intelligence involves knowing when to be happy, sad, excited, anxious, or even vigilant. 

Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize your emotions, understand what they’re telling you, and realize how they affect the people around you. 

People who function at a high rate of emotional intelligence have the ability to adjust their behaviors and are more effective at recognizing and managing their own emotions as well as the emotions of others.

Use present language to help focus more on the present moment. Put your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs on paper. 

Knowing how to express your emotions can often help you manage them in a proper and healthy way. Don’t be afraid to give yourself the gift of silence and meditation. 

Increasing your ability to empathize can help you get closer to others, gain their support when you need it, and potentially defuse high-charged conflicts in your professional and personal life. 

Be aware and listen carefully to what others are telling you. You know you are becoming more empathetic when you’re able to decipher and recognize the feelings of others.
