Our senses can quickly get the best of us if we don’t check in with them often. Sometimes, gaining control and not letting our emotions completely dominate our lives can be challenging.<\/p>\n
But people with high emotional intelligence<\/a> have thought about what drives their emotions. This helps them in situations where emotions tend to overdrive.<\/p>\n Those with high emotional intelligence communicate more effectively, adapt to change, manage stress and conflict productively, build stronger relationships, and perform better at work.<\/p>\n Of course, anyone can improve their emotional intelligence with practice and dedication, but knowing how to do it seems like a mystery to many. With that said, knowing what people are emotionally avoiding might be a better starting point.<\/p>\n People with high emotional intelligence understand the importance of letting their feelings show, but they don’t let them lead their lives<\/a>. They know we wouldn’t be human without emotions, but those emotions don’t have to dictate every second of our lives.<\/p>\n They take a few deep breaths and travel inward to understand what these feelings want them to take away from the situation. Then they allow their rational thinking to balance their emotional intelligence. Emotions drive much of our existence as humans, but they don’t have to control us or define who we are.<\/p>\n Above all, emotionally intelligent people take responsibility for their feelings. They do not blame others<\/a> for any situation or event; they are entirely in control of their emotions and can admit when they are wrong.<\/p>\n People with high emotional intelligence know that playing the blame game only pushes them farther in life and puts them in a victim mentality. Emotionally intelligent people understand that no one can make them feel a certain way; they decide what feelings they are experiencing at any given moment.<\/p>\n Emotionally intelligent people<\/a> don’t let their feelings run wild and take over completely, but they don’t hide them either. They know that if they store their feelings in a deep, dark place, they will only fade into the background later because emotions must ebb and flow like your own breath.<\/p>\n You wouldn’t hold your breath forever for fear of letting it out. So why do you feel the same way? Emotionally intelligent people don’t give up on their emotions; they express them to release this burden and continue their lives healthily.<\/p>\n Research at the University of California, San Francisco, shows that the harder it is to say no, the more stress, burnout, and even depression. Saying “no” is hard for most people. “No” is a powerful word you shouldn’t be afraid to use.<\/p>\n When it’s time to say no, emotionally intelligent people avoid saying things like, “I don’t think so” or “I’m not sure.” Saying “no” to a new commitment frees up your existing obligations and allows you to fulfill them successfully.<\/p>\n Emotionally intelligent people understand that even though they are highly aware of their emotions, this does not exclude them from being part of humanity.<\/p>\n They understand that they do not have superhuman abilities that allow them not to feel pain, hurt, and sadness. Instead, they accept it and let go of negative feelings when necessary.<\/p>\n When they feel these feelings, they also feel happiness and joy. This is because they know that life works through ups and downs.<\/p>\n All emotions serve as lessons for us in the grand scheme of things. They do not feel sorry for their feelings. Instead, they know that feelings come from the heart and that the heart will always express itself honestly and fairly.<\/p>\nHere are five things that people with high emotional intelligence should avoid:<\/h2>\n
1. They don’t let their emotions rule entirely their lives<\/h3>\n
2. Emotionally intelligent people do not blame others<\/h3>\n
