Ep. 20: Emotional Intelligence, 11 signs you lack EQ & 7 Habits to improve your EQ!

Welcome to the Country Proud Living Podcast, I am your host LoriLynn!

Your emotional intelligence is defined by how well you control your emotions, respond to problems and questions, and interact with other people. Emotional intelligence is the “something” in each of us that is a bit intangible. It affects how we manage behavior, navigate social complexities, and make personal decisions to achieve positive results.

I understand that this topic may not be appealing but trust me in that having this awareness of these signs and habits will help you to better handle people who may have issues with low EQ (often they don't even know it) at least for me it has helped me be more patience and understanding.

11  Signs of low Emotional Intelligence:
1. You get stressed easily
2. You have difficulty asserting yourself
3. You have a limited emotional vocabulary
4. You make assumptions quickly and defend them vehemently
5. You hold grudges
6. You don't let go of mistakes
7. You often feel misunderstood
8. You don't know your triggers
9. You don't get angry
10. You blame other people for your they make you feel
11. You are easily offended

INTELLIGENT PEOPLE by Kendra Cherry
Self Awareness: Is one of the key components of emotional intelligence. Self-awareness involves the ability to recognize moods, emotions, and feelings.
Empathy: This involves the ability to understand the emotions of other people.
Self Regulation: Emotionally intelligent people think before they act on their feelings. They are in tune with how they feel, but they do not let their emotions rule their lives.
Motivation: Emotionally intelligent people are motivated to achieve their goals. They are capable of managing their behaviors and feelings in order to achieve long-term success.
Social Skills: Emotionally intelligent people tend to have strong social skills. They know how to deal with people effectively, and they are invested in maintaining healthy social relationships and helping those around them succeed.
