Morning Mantra: "Don't promise when you are happy, don't reply when you are angry, and don't decide when you are sad." Emotions are tricky. The word emotion means energy in motion. This energy (emotion) can be fleeting, so when we make decisions based on them, we can end up wishing we hadn't. Emotional intelligence is the ability to be aware of how your emotions drive your behavior. Emotional intelligence is your ability to recognize and understand emotions in yourself and others, and your ability to use this awareness to manage your behavior and relationships. It allows us to respond instead of react. The emotionally, intelligent person is skilled in four areas; identifying emotions, using emotions, understanding emotions, and regulating emotions. Emotional intelligence is not about rainbows and unicorns, it’s about mastering the messy art of handling your own, and other people’s emotions. #BeInTuneWithYourEmotions #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes
