O que fazer se lhe faltar autoconhecimento em inteligência emocional?

Aqui estão algumas etapas que podem ajudá-lo a desenvolver essa habilidade: * Pratique a autoconsciência: Tire um tempo para refletir sobre suas emoções, pensamentos e comportamentos. * Aprenda a nomear suas emoções: Isso pode ajudá-lo a entender melhor o que está sentindo e por quê. * Busque feedback: Peça feedback honesto de amigos, familiares ou colegas de trabalho sobre como você lida com suas emoções. * Busque recursos e aprendizado: Leia livros, faça cursos ou participe de workshops sobre inteligência emocional. * Seja paciente consigo mesmo: Desenvolver inteligência emocional é um processo contínuo que requer tempo, prática e empatia consigo mesmo.

Assessing your emotional intelligence (EI) is difficult, but it is so worth it. You could try doing a self-assessment. Ask for feedback from trusted friends, family members, colleagues, or mentors who are willing to provide honest and constructive advice. Set aside time for self-reflection and think back on past interactions and situations where emotions played a significant role. Consider using validated emotional intelligence assessments or quizzes. One strategy that I use is journaling. It is such a great way to track your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Writing down your experiences can help you identify recurring patterns, triggers, and other areas where you may struggle with EI.

1. **Self-reflection:** Spend time reflecting on your emotions, reactions, and behaviors. Consider journaling to track patterns and triggers. 2. **Seek feedback:** Ask trusted friends, family members, or colleagues for honest feedback about how you come across and how you handle emotions. 3. **Educate yourself:** Read books, take courses, or attend workshops on emotional intelligence to learn more about emotions. 4. **Practice mindfulness:** Mindfulness techniques can help you become more aware of your emotions as they arise, allowing you to respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively. 5. **Set goals:** Establish specific, measurable goals for improving your emotional intelligence and track your progress over tips.

It is probably pretty challenging to ask for feedback, especially if you lack EI in certain areas. I recommend choosing individuals that you trust and respect to provide you with honest and constructive feedback. Even if you choose people that you trust, it is still important to create a safe environment for feedback conversations. Instead of asking general questions like "How am I doing?" or "Do you think I have good emotional intelligence?", ask more specific and open-ended questions that encourage detailed responses. For example: Can you share a recent situation where you observed me reacting emotionally? How do you think I handled it? Pro Tip: Try not to become defensive or justify your behavior!

Extremely important to develop the habit of stopping your “Thinking Cruise Control” and bring full attention and presence to what we are doing, feeling, thinking. When we are in a new, different, difficult situation, PAUSE - put your foot on the break to stop Cruise Control and ask yourself “What is going on here? What am I feeling? What are the thoughts that are coming my way?” Some of my clients wear a beaded bracelet or pendant that they can touch to help them remember to PAUSE and REFLECT.
