Human is a social being. And a social being comes with feelings, emotions, moods,and behavior. And a mixture of all these things makes one’s own character,and personality. One own daily life depends upon the behavior of that respective entity. And for a prosperous life they have to manage all of these social mixture into a balance solution. In an era where life is too fast to sit and think. Emotional intelligence comes handy.
Emotional intelligence, one can say is the capacity to control his/her emotions. Emotional intelligence also includes expressing of the emotions.
Being an emotional intelligent person means that he/she is capable of doing their dealings excluding all the emotional interference and obstacles. This keeps the person on the track and out of emotional vulnerability. Being an emotional intelligent person is of great value. It makes person strong. It allows that person to live a day expressing a vibe of Brave, Strong and Confident person. Which in return helps the person becoming a successful person. Going through the history it has been well known that a person capable of not expressing its feelings to the world where every passing man is looking for a prey for his/her own benefits thus a person with emotional intelligence although it was an unknown fact back then but still it was useful so the reason behind talking all this is to motivate you, to guide you and to enlighten you with the idea of Emotional Intelligent Person.
To become one you have to observant, practice, experiment, ask others. All of the above ways are just kindergarten lessons but how to become one you have to look for it, find people with the respective capabilities and learn from the experts.
Figuring out how to build our emotional intelligence is an art form. It's not the same for everyone, and we all learn and grow if we are willing to accept the challenge.
There is no shortcut.
Empathy. Since empathy is an important component of emotional intelligence, this means learning and understanding what emotional empathy is and what it feels like to empathize with another's emotions. This can be challenging because it requires putting yourself (and your heart) in the other person's shoes.
There is a difference between cognitive empathy (being able to recognize and name what someone is feeling) and emotional empathy (actually putting yourself in the other person's shoes) to experience their pain, joy, and fear.
Practicing developing emotional empathy means coming to terms with being vulnerable, and that in itself is a process. No one wants to feel emotionally exposed, because that puts you in a vulnerable position - you can be laughed at, rejected, hurt, or ignored.
But it's also the only way to truly understand another person's perspective and feelings.
If you want to improve your emotional empathy, start by recognizing your own behavior and understanding how it affects others. Recall when you said or did something that deeply hurt someone. Imagine how your behavior might have affected the other person and put yourself in their shoes, their pain, their anger, or whether they felt betrayed or hurt by you.
To grow, we must be flexible and willing to be uncomfortable in the process of becoming aware, which means emotionally adjusting in the parts of personal growth that can be painful. It is in the most painful moments that we often grow the most. But if we don't allow ourselves to feel pain, anger, shame, or vulnerability, we can't grow.
The goal is to build emotional strength.... To develop emotional intelligence.
