Role of emotional intelligence in relationships.

By better understanding and managing our emotions, we are better able to communicate

our feelings in a more constructive way. We are also better able to understand and relate to those with whom we are in relationships.

Understanding the needs, feelings and responses of those we care about leads to stronger and more fulfilling relationships

Happiness comes from within

When you read the words, “peace of mind,” what do you

think of?

think of?

After decades working as a licensed clinical psychologist in

private practice and studying what brings human beings real

happiness, I know the words “peace of mind” can mean

different things to different people.

For some, peace of mind comes from receiving other’s

approval. These people believe that if everyone loves and

thinks highly of them, they will be happy. Others equate peace

of mind with possessing material things such as cars,

expensive clothes, or a fabulous house. While some are

convinced that landing a high-power job, earning a college

degree, finding one’s soul mate, having healthy children, or…

as you know, the list can go on forever.

How to install your Emotional intelligence !

10

Your Magic Reset Button

Here’s a simple – although peculiar – method for

returning quickly to your emotional baseline. I call

it the “emotional reset switch.” To “install” your

emotional reset switch, choose a spot on your

body that you can touch conveniently and in a

socially acceptable manner. My favourite spot is

on my forehead, between my eyes and just above

the brow line. You can do this while looking into a

mirror if you like. Now, touch the tip of your index

finger on that spot, and at the same instant

conjure up in your “body memory” the sensation of

feeling calm, at ease, and in control. This familiar,

non-anxious state is your emotional home base.

It’s the place you want to come back to after any

provocation.

Emotional Education

Emotional Education – The biggest predictor of life

success is emotional intelligence, according to

neuroscientist Richard Davidson. Most schools (or

administrators) talk a good game about emotional

learning, but what’s really happening? Is your son or

daughter’s school helping students remain calm,

refocus, and become more self-aware? If not, what are

they doing regarding your child’s emotional

development? One success story is the Robert W.

Coleman School in West Baltimore, which sends

children who are disruptive to the “Mindful Moment

Room” where they’ve learned to self-soothe and deal

with stress constructively. The pupils also begin each

day with a breathing exercise, led over the PA system,

and the good news is it's really working. There were

zero suspensions in the 2013–14 school year, which is

a dramatic decrease in this high-crime neighbourhood.
