What is Emotional Intelligence?
Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand, analyze, express, and manage your own emotions while also being able to recognize and respond to the emotions of others.
Emotional Intelligence is just as important as IQ when it comes to truly understanding ourselves and others. It is also a necessary component to achieving and maintaining peace.
"All learning has an emotional base," - Plato.
Emotional intelligence has been referred to as a subset of Social intelligence and an important component used to guide our overall thinking, decision making, and actions.
The 5 Domains of Emotional Intelligence
Self Awareness
Self Awareness involves recognizing and understanding what our emotions are. This is not always an easy task. Sometimes we take on the emotions of others on a subconscious level or our emotions just feel like a jumbled mess.
We need to take a screen shot of what we are feeling and analyze it, separate our feelings from the feelings of others, and get to the root cause of our feelings in order to correctly identify the emotion and why we are feeling it.
Managing Emotions
This involves controlling and managing our feelings, taking a step back to analyze what we are feeling before acting impulsively, regulating our emotions and responding appropriately, as well as accurately responding to the emotions of others.
Social Awareness
Empathy is the ability to recognize, understand, and empathize with the emotions of others. It is a key component to achieving and maintaining peace.
Relationship Management
This aspect of emotional intelligence helps with building rapport, compromise, finding common ground, and conflict resolution.
Emotional Reasoning
Once we have awareness and understanding of our emotions, they can help guide our reasoning, cognitive abilities, and decision making and subsequent actions.

EXCELLENT Post @Aggroed !!
EQ is the foundation for Both monetary SUCCESS + HAPPINESS...imho
Perhaps a Good example of a high EQ is Richard Branson...
Someone I've been mentoring for over 15 years, had the privilege to be 1 on 1 with Richard for about 45 minutes 12 years ago.
Richard was not only respectful but also very humble and almost like a young kid... don't have time to fully tell this story but believe that Branson is not only a Multi-Billionaire.... but also a very Happy and a "Well-Grounded" Billionaire.
Thank You Again @Aggroed... very well written Post. ReSTEEMed !!
Cheers !!

This is something I'd love to see... I know that emotions has a very great effect on the person and the more focus you have on money the less you'll have on happiness..... And isn't the money only a way for us to reach happiness?
If you made a post about Richard Branson, send me a link~

Robots will have a long, long way to go before they can ever be truly as human as a person is, especially when it comes to emotions.

I'm not sure if I'm to keen to see A.! gain emotions to fast anyway. Us humans provide enough emotion for the earth as it is. I'd rather A.I stick to logic. If your wondering why i'm not sticking to a single Robot or "node" is because they will be all linked together into a single consciousness through the "Internet of Things"

I like when you said: "We need to take a screen shot of what we are feeling and analyze it, separate our feelings from the feelings of others, and get to the root cause of our feelings in order to correctly identify the emotion and why we are feeling it."
I often struggle with anger and I recently recognized, with the help of others, that my anger ia often actually a result of disappointment, fear or sadness, and Im just fighting to conceal my vulberability with a facade of anger.
It helps to as you say, analyze our feelings to discover the root cause. I cant heal if I dont address my pain and my pain ends up hurting those I love if I fail to handle it well.
Thanks for the great post!

I never really understood much about emotions or empathy but it turned out I was really good at. I have been able to give empathy without knowing what it really was I was doing. Must be my "Gemini" skills. I really enjoyed this and I need to get better with my emotional awareness and how to understand them to make better decisions sometimes though.

Well written article as usual from you. I really enjoy a lot of what you write and share.
I really think that EQ is able to fostered and grown just like IQ. I've always had a low EQ but I really feel that I've imporved that over the years... also, psychedelics are a huge assistant to that growth as well as some good meditation.

It is said that you must have an emotion to be called human. Without it you may call yourself a monster. Every learning, every music and every experiences are nothing without emotions.

If I may say about it. Imotion is the natural feelings of every human must experience, but the intellengent there is the being careful of those things that will move your Imotion. Not be able to keep boundry and being careful can render your Imotion useless. Thanks for sharing

One can have emotional intelligence, and know logically how others expect us to react, yet be unable to do so. Emotions aren't logical. One cannot turn them on and off at will. Perhaps managing them is possible, but even steps like repeating things back won't work if two people disagree on what a reasonable outcome should be. Another factor that is messy is timing. If one person is unwilling or mentally unable to respond in a time frame that the other person needs to get on with their job, then it puts an undue stress on the relationship. Knowing this is happening does not make the pain and or stress easier to deal with. Understanding emotions only goes so far when the people involved have different ideas about how the other person should react in a time of crisis. Sometimes we just need to make the best decision for ourselves and move on.

I think I have a strong EQ in some areas (Self, Family).... and terrible EQ in other areas (Social)...
Or maybe, it's the opposite.... I'm terrible at "Social Awareness" because of my high EQ that is incompatible with the low EQ of the society?

Yes, I experience this lately.
So many people have rudimentary problems with emotional intelligence but think about it, our victorian era belief systems DO NOT ENCOURAGE(!) emotional intelligence.
How many people actually face and overcome jealousy issues in their lifetime?
Answer: very few
Most people do not continue growing their entire lifetime. Most, shutdown emotionally, at some point and are mostly the same for the rest of their lives.
I consider having a strong connection with my spiritual inner child the best way to understand what I am feeling, and then finding center amidst great criticism, as the way to confidently make my way forward in life by making good decisions and standing by them.

Great post, I am currently trying to teach my 10yr old autistic son about emotional intelligence, he really struggles with his own emotions and has no understanding of why he feels the way he does. He is very empathetic, so much so that his whole day can be brought down if someone else is upset or distressed. Trying to teach emotional control when you have absolutely no understanding of your own feelings is so difficult.

Beautiful post @aggroed, thank you! The importance of emotional intelligence tends to be greatly underestimated in our world. If people took a little more time to learn how to respond with compassion rather than simple react this would be a much more peaceful place.

Yes i think it is important to have emotional intelligence but also just being aware that sometimes it is a passing phase. It comes n goes in waves from time to time n there is no solid ground to really stand on. Understanding how it also differs from people to people. Interesting post @aggroed :)
