Why it matters?
Emotional intelligence is key for navigating the complexities of life. It doesn’t eliminate negative emotions—nor should it—but by doing so helps us with the tools to better manage them.
If you can accurately identify and navigate your emotions, you might feel better equipped to manage stress, make decisions and avoid conflict. But how do you do it? Grab a journal (or open a note on your phone) and start exploring the intricate world of your emotions. Through this simple practice, you’re not just recognizing what you feel; you’re opening the door to a richer, more emotionally satisfying way of living.
Journaling can be a powerful tool to deepen your understanding of your emotions and how they influence your life. Reflecting on specific prompts can help guide your exploration, offering insights into your emotional wellbeing. This week, get in the habit of writing out what you feel.
