Page 1: INTELLIGENCE EMOTIONAL
Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand, use, and manage our emotions.
Emotional intelligence is sometimes called EQ (or EI).
High EQ can predict success in social and emotional situations.
EQ helps build strong relationships, make good decisions, and deal with difficult situations.

EQ is part of being people-smart.
Understanding and getting along with people helps in almost any area of life.
EQ is more important than IQ when it comes to doing well in school or being successful at work.
Page 3: How could we improve our EQ?
Emotional intelligence is a combination of several different skills.
Most people feel many different emotions throughout the day.
Being able to notice and accurately label these everyday feelings is the most basic of all the EQ skills.

Awareness of emotions helps manage them and understand how others feel.
Practice recognizing emotions as you feel them.
Label emotions in your mind.
Page 5: Understanding How Others Feel and Why
Part of EQ is being able to imagine how other people might feel in certain situations.
Understanding why they feel the way they do.
Empathy helps care about others and build good friendships and relationships.
Page 6: Managing Emotional Reactions
Managing your reaction means knowing when, where, and how to express yourself.
Use self-control to hold a reaction if now is not the right time or place to express it.
Reacting to emotions that are disrespectful, too intense, too impulsive, or harmful can damage relationships.
Page 7: Choosing Your Mood
Part of managing emotions is choosing our moods.
Moods are emotional states that last a bit.
We have the power to decide what mood is right for a situation and how to get into that mood.
