Control Your Emotions and Thoughts – Even During Adversity
Emotional intelligence is the ability to comprehend and manage your emotions, so you can perform at your best.
The first step of mastering your emotions is increasing your self-awareness, so you’re better able to identify your feelings.
Once you identify an emotion, evaluate it. Ask if your emotional reactions and any accompanying negative views of yourself are reasonable, or are holding you back. Reflect on whether you can influence the circumstances triggering your emotions. Take action if you see ways to improve your situation. Don't fume over situations you can’t control.
