EQ -Communicate Your Emotions

If you want to connect authentically with others, it's essential to communicate what you're feeling. You need to put words to your feelings to help others understand exactly what you're going through.

This can be challenging, to say the least. If you're not used to expressing your emotions, it may take practice for you to get used to it. Here are some tips to help you communicate your emotions effectively:

● Identify your emotions: Before you can communicate your feelings, you need to know what they are. Take the time to reflect and identify what emotions you're experiencing.

● Use "I" statements: When talking about your feelings, use "I" statements instead of "you" statements. This shifts the focus onto your emotions rather than accusing or blaming the other person.

● Be specific: Instead of using vague terms like "good" or "bad," try to be more precise with your emotions. Using specific words can help others understand you better.

● Use body language: Your nonverbal cues can also convey your emotions. Make sure your posture, facial expressions, and gestures accurately reflect what you're feeling internally.
Communicating your emotions can be difficult, but it's an essential part of developing emotional intelligence. By sharing your feelings with others, you allow for a deeper understanding and connection to form.

Ask for Feedback

We touched on this earlier, but it's worth expanding on it a bit more. All of us have emotional blind spots and aspects of our lives that we can't see clearly. This is where feedback from others can be incredibly valuable.

Ask trusted friends or family members for their honest opinions about how you handle emotions and what areas you could improve on.

It may be uncomfortable to hear, but it can also help you grow and develop your emotional intelligence.

It's important that you get feedback from people who truly care about you. This makes the feedback much easier to hear because you know that they have your best interests at heart.

Also, get feedback in small doses. If you get loads of feedback in a single setting, you'll probably be overwhelmed and not be able to put anything into action.

It's far better to get smaller doses of feedback more frequently so you can gradually work on areas that need improvement.

Take Responsibility for Your Emotions

Ultimately, your emotions are your responsibility. Others may act in ways that trigger strong emotions in you but you are responsible for expressing those emotions.

This includes taking ownership of your actions and reactions. Instead of blaming others for how you feel, take a step back and assess the situation objectively.

Understand why something may have triggered a certain emotion and learn how to manage it better in the future.

By taking responsibility for your emotions, you are also giving yourself power over them. You are no longer a victim to your emotions, but rather in control of how you respond to them.

Be Kind to Yourself

Finally, be kind to yourself as you seek to grow in emotional intelligence. It's not easy to deal with strong emotions.

It takes resilience and persistence. Just as you try to show sympathy and empathy toward others, show yourself the same grace.

If you have a bad day, don't beat yourself up over it. Rather, take a step back and recognize that you're human. Just like everyone else, you have good and bad days.

You have days when you better regulate your emotions and days when you don't.


Instead of dwelling on your mistakes, learn from them and move forward. Treat yourself with kindness and compassion, just as you would a friend or loved one.
