 Anybody can become angry
That is easy
But to be angry with the right person
And the right degree

And in the right way
That is not within
Everybody’s power
And is not easy

-Aristotle
What is EQ?
Emotional intelligence is the
ability to manage feelings so that
they are expressed appropriately
and effectively, enabling people to
work together smoothly toward
common goals (Goleman, 1998a).
Emotions are an encouragement to act, and a tendency to do
things. Goleman describes the basic emotions possessed by all
cultures in the world that can be understood as a characteristic of
the emotions of various individuals. They are scared, angry, sad,
and happy feelings (Goleman, 2007).

Emotions are attitudes or responses to a situation or an object,

like judgments (Zemach, 2001).

Emotions are multi-dimensional, or having various intensities,

identified these as: adoration, ecstasy, anticipation, rage, disgust,
grief, surprise, and fear. (Robert Plutchik )

Practical ways to develop your Emotional
Intelligence

Emotional Intelligence can be learned and

developed. The ability to stay
calm and in control in difficult situations is
highly valued by the people around
you.
 1. Observe how you react to people. –
judging someone or a situation
without getting all the facts is not an EQ
quality.
2. Look at your school setting. – Humility is
a wonderful trait, and it
does not mean you are shy or lack self-
confidence.
 3. Do a self-evaluation. – Discover your
weaknesses. No one is perfect
being open to the fact that there are still
areas that you can improve
on can make you a better person.
4. Be accountable for your actions. – If you
offend or hurt someone’s
feelings, you must apologize.
5. Record your emotional response to
events. – take time to recognize
how you feel about experiences. It is
important in improving your EQ.
6. Listen to your body. – be alert to the
physical symptoms of your
emotions. Our minds and bodies are not
detached and influence each
other extremely.
 7. Monitor how your emotions and
behavior are linked. – Monitor how your
emotions and behavior are linked. – listen
to
your instinctive reactions to situations you
encounter every day,
instead of just responding without any
thought.
8. Refrain from judging your emotions. – all
the emotions you have
are legitimate, even the negative ones.
When you judge your emotions,
you will prevent your ability to completely
feel, making it harder to
use your emotions for positive behavior.
9. Notice patterns in your emotional past. –
it is one way to pick up
things about your own feelings and how
they are associated with your
experience. So, when you feel strongly
about something, think back
when this emotion was last felt.
10. Relate with other people. – being open
minded and agreeable are
traits of a high EQ. No one wants to deal
with a person who always
contradicts or is negative about everything.
11. Improve your empathy skills. – empathy
means being able to know
how other people are feeling and
responding to them accordingly.
12. Study people’s body language. – try to
read between the lines of
what and how people say things and
identify their true feelings by
watching their facial expressions and
another body language.
13. See the effect you have on others. –
another half of EQ is
understanding the effect YOU have on
other people.
[Link] being emotionally honest. – if
you say you’re alright and
have a frown on your face, you are not
communicating honestly.
 15. Be more light-hearted at home and at
school. – when you’re
positive, it is easier to see the beauty in life
and that will pass on those
around you.
 - The choice of improving one’s
emotional intelligence depends on
YOU.
