What does EQ have to do with managing change?

Everything!

If you can create awareness of the way you respond to life events, such as change, and manage your response to the event you're well on your way to effectively managing change.

You've heard the saying, 'It's not what happens that matters but how you respond to it that really counts', increasing awareness is a vital key in managing how you respond.

EQ gives you the awareness and mindfulness you need to increase your ability to distinguish between the event that happens, and the way you respond to it. Simply being aware of your response means you can make changes that benefit you. Being emotionally intelligent allows you to manage your emotions such as anger, anxiety, frustration, and fear which in turn relieves stress in your life.
So, what does it mean to be emotionally intelligent?

EI has been coined by Daniel Goleman in 1995 the theory emphasizes the importance of awareness, control and management of our emotions and the emotions of other people.

The skills, sometimes referred to as learned competencies, are recognized as the fundamentals to success in leadership to your ability to manage life's curve balls - often defined as change. We are creatures of habit and naturally resist change. EQ gives you the tools needed to welcome change effectively.

Being emotionally intelligent includes the following abilities:  
  • Self Awareness: The ability to recognize and understand feelings and emotion, and the ability to understand your responses to situations and other people's actions.
  • Self-Management: The ability to choose how we think, how we feel, the actions we take, and to motivate ourselves; also known as self-regulation.
  • Social Awareness: The ability to recognize and understand the feelings and emotions of others. This includes skills in empathy.
  • Relationship Management: The ability to express your emotions and to communicate effectively.
These skills can be learned - and used well can help you manage change and achieve success in life.

Take an EQ-i2.0 self-assessment to discover your strengths and areas requiring development. Contact me today and I can administer your self-assessment today.


I wish you all joy and peace in your hearts and much love and happiness in your souls.


Love and JOY,
Cynthia

Joy Restoration Coaching Happiness
Sleeping is a very important part of everyone's life.

Actually, the things we do before we go to bed matter, too. Many people watch TV-shows till late at night, drink a couple of beers with chicken wings, check all the existing social networks or just work till they are too exhausted.

In fact, many happy people have special rituals to make this before-bed time pleasant and relaxing. They look forward to prepare themselves for sleep and to do that with pleasure. Here are some before-bed rituals that happy individuals tend to do every evening.

EQ Importance In Raising A Child, 14 Tips
Aha! Parenting.com
Help Your Child Manage Emotions In A Healthy Way
     
Why is emotional intelligence so important in raising a child? Managing anxiety in order to tackle a big project, managing anger to work through a marital conflict, managing fear to apply for a job -- the ability of a human being to manage his or her emotions in a healthy way will determine the quality of his life in a much more fundamental way than his IQ. In fact, psychologists have come to call this ability EQ, or Emotional Intelligence Quotient.

What are the core components of high EQ? Emotional self knowledge and self acceptance, sensitivity to the cues of others, empathy (which can be defined as the ability to see and feel something from the other's point of view), and the ability to regulate one's own anxiety in order to talk about emotionally charged issues in a constructive way.
Your child's EQ begins with her relationship with you. How can you lay a solid foundation?
