It is not only\u00a0success<\/a>\u00a0that is more likely for those with high emotional intelligence.<\/p>\n Research\u00a0indicates that people with this trait are also likely to have\u00a0better relationships and be generally happier.<\/strong>\u00a0There are\u00a0tests\u00a0that can measure\u00a0emotional intelligence<\/a>. However, if you have the following traits, then it is likely you have high emotional intelligence.<\/p>\n Highly emotionally intelligent people are\u00a0very self-aware<\/strong>. They have a good understanding of how they are feeling, which makes is easier for them to\u00a0handle their emotions in a healthy way<\/strong>.<\/p>\n They also have a\u00a0wide emotional vocabulary<\/strong>\u00a0so can name their emotions. For example, rather than just saying they are happy, they may describe themselves as content, connected, blissed-out or joyful. And when they are feeling sad<\/a>, they might pinpoint the emotion as irritability, loneliness, disappointment or rejection.<\/p>\n Having this wide vocabulary helps them to\u00a0truly understand their emotions<\/strong>. It also enables them to deal with any negatives more effectively<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Highly emotionally intelligent people can use also this awareness to\u00a0identify other people\u2019s emotions<\/strong>. Being able to understand how other people are feeling\u00a0enables them to provide the right help and support<\/strong>. They ask the questions that allow others to open up about their feelings and desires.<\/p>\n This means they create deep, meaningful relationships<\/strong>. They can then use this information to effectively cheer someone up or calm someone down.<\/p>\n Having this ability to connect makes them thoughtful of others. They are likely to remember details of other people\u2019s lives, such as their work, interests, family and friends.\u00a0Emotionally intelligent people make others feel good by acting on these details<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Like, for example, remembering someone\u2019s favorite flowers and buying them a bunch to cheer them up.<\/p>\n Emotionally intelligent people understand that\u00a0thoughts are just thoughts<\/strong>\u00a0and not facts. This helps them to avoid ruminating over things too much. They also understand that\u00a0our thoughts cause our feelings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n They, therefore, watch their inner dialogue carefully and\u00a0choose to let difficult and unhelpful thoughts go<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This also means that emotionally intelligent people don\u2019t tend to\u00a0hold grudges<\/a> or dwell on the past<\/strong>. They understand that the past can\u2019t be changed and focusing on negative past experiences\u00a0simply clouds the present moment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Being emotionally well balanced also helps people to\u00a0appreciate all that they have<\/strong>.\u00a0It is very easy for negative thoughts and feelings to dominate.<\/p>\n Emotionally intelligent people are able to\u00a0focus on the positive<\/strong>\u00a0and bring a healthy balance to their lives. Thinking about the positives in our lives and what we are grateful for helps us to\u00a0shift out of negative thinking patterns and low emotional moods<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Some people are more naturally emotionally intelligent<\/a> than others.<\/p>\n However, this is a trait\u00a0we can all learn or improve on<\/strong>. Paying attention to our thoughts and feelings, listening carefully to others, and looking for the things to be grateful for in our lives can help us develop this trait.<\/p>\n References:<\/strong><\/p>\n Studies suggest that high emotional intelligence is more important than IQ in creating success. And certain personal traits indicate an above average EQ. It is not only\u00a0success\u00a0that is more likely for those with high emotional intelligence.
