5 Techniques to Develop and Improve Emotional Intelligence
Emotional Intelligence isn’t something we either have or don’t have. It can be developed. Improving your level of emotional intelligence can help in all areas of your life. It can create success in a business sense and peace in your personal relationships.
Observation
Take a deep and honest look at yourself and your relationships. Do you find that you are often in conflict with others? Are you quick to anger or do you rush to judgement? Do you find yourself often blaming others for your problems?
Awareness and acceptance of our own issues is necessary in order to change.
Try viewing things from another perspective, try to be accepting of other’s perspectives, and try to take ownership of conflicts and problems in your life.
Confident Humility
Do you find that you are often seeking attention and praise?
Are you constantly comparing yourself to others?
Take a look at your accomplishments and be proud.
You can confidently state your achievements in a quiet way without demanding attention or trying to take attention away from someone else.
Allow others to have a chance to shine. Their moment in the Sun doesn’t take away from your own accomplishments.
Reactions to Stress
Managing and controlling emotions is key to stress management.
This involves controlling anger, emotional outbursts, and taking time to cool down when you are feeling emotionally raw.
This is a highly valued skill in work environments and brings stability to personal relationships.
Taking Responsibility
Take responsibility for your words and actions. Don’t be too proud to apologize when you have hurt someone.
Thinking Before you Speak or Act
Our decisions, words, and actions can all affect other people. Try putting yourself in their shoes and think about how you would feel in their place before you speak or act.

Do not set a time to change yourself and improve emotional intelligence. No change in a day does not happen in a day. Every change requires time and effort. There is no such thing as attaining perfection, there is good, there is better...

Observation confidence reaction to stress. Taking responsibility and thinking before speak are really the five techniques to improve intelligence but it is difficult to gain all these abilities.
This always comes to mind whenever making a decision, is it one you will be proud of?
If you were on the receiving end would you want someone addressing you in that manner?

Nice post
I have always valued emotional maturity and wisdom over all other forms. Knowing how to navigate the waters of life can really open doors and opportunities. This is a game of people not a game of things. For example we can seek a dollar but the path to the dollar lies in the ability to attract people who want to give you what you desire. A job interview is a good example of this. We are selling ourselves...we always are.
Thank you for sharing very useful information @aggroed
follow me
your technique is special..
Nice post. Thanks for sharing
It seems so simple to just read these things and add them to your life- but then change seems hard. Still, I read the post...
This post has received gratitude of 7.89 % from @appreciator thanks to: @aggroed.
Really true.
I think you covered all the points regarding emotional humility.
I on a personal level,dont always take responsibility.
Subconsciously I know it's not the right thing to do.
But I still continue it.
This is one aspect of myself I wanna improve upon
I've found that trying to attain a full emotional maturity makes life flow in such wonderful ways. Human interaction becomes a joy. You never have any problems in a majority of situations. As soon as you truly learn to treat people the same as you want to be treated interactions are optimized to your level.

Thank you for putting some food for thought on the table as we end 2017. Your words offer a better 2018 if they are taken to heart. Upvoted and resteemed.
Agreed.there is to much ego in the world.
We seldom self reflect on our selfs and our action.Constanly trying to find the faults of others but not our selfs.
thank your you are great post share..

No change in a day does not happen in a day. Every change requires time and effort. There is no such thing as attaining perfection, there is good, there is better...
It seems like I followed the right steem account. :D
Practical piece full of wisdom - Until we take full responsibility for all our thoughts and deeds, good/bad/indifferent, we are a potential car crash in the making!
It takes a brave person to say I messed up, I apologise and will strive for better next time; but the rewards for being honest and humble with oneself are huge and have far reaching, positive implications for the greater good of all.
Mindful is the way to go :)
I have followed and look forward to reading more over the coming months...
I am an artist/writer/lightworker still relatively new here.
I would love your thoughts on my recent post which is also about emotions: https://steemit.com/philosophy/@ldacey-laforge/hope
Best wishes for Happy Holidays.

Agreed @agroed Thinking practically before act. Love your content thanks for sharing.
Excellent post....your points are like the summary of some book i read somtime ago
Failing forward by John C. Maxwell
Good advice!
Learning to listen to your body helps. Generally people know when they're about to break. Listen to your body and learn what to do to climb out of stressful positions. It takes focus but it's possible.
My big problem is te Reaction to Stress. I cannot control it. Some times ago when i played poker i loose control every time i loose money. Do you have the magic formula? :-D
I want to highlight the last point 'Thinking before you speak or act' and I want to stress that there are 2 types of thinking: Fast thinking and slow thing (I got this from a book by Daniel Kahneman) and basically people make huge mistakes when they use fast thinking for important decisions that have long-term consequences.
So much truth in this article.
Personally, I find that emotional intelligence can be constantly fluctuating. There's good days and not so good days.
Of course, when we have developed a sense of emotional intelligence, it is easier to realise when we are moving back into a negative state and hopefully return to a positive state through the awareness.
Meditation has helped me a lot in keeping mindful, and in particular when it comes to have that high emotional level of intelligence throughout my days.
Thank you for this post @aggroed 🙏
This is on my learning to do list of the year 2018.... Still too emotional. Do you rock the emotional intelligence dear @aggroed ?
Waw this was perfectly said. I could't have said it any better. This is my way of thinking every day. I just wish people would understand that this can make a better way of living and communicating.
You're quite right...emotional intelligence does take some time to master and it definitely isn't the easiest thing to do but...the silver lining is that it CAN be done and the rewards are tremendous... nice!
Thanks @aggroed, these techniques are really meant for me. Nice one#originalwork#
