Hello friends of steemit, I want to talk a little bit today about emotional intelligence I hope you like the subject.
As human beings we possess both rational and emotional mind, the rational mind is related to the capacity to emit thoughts in a logical and analytical way, it is a process in which we are completely conscious; in contrast we have our emotional mind, in charge of feelings and impulses, our emotions are a legacy that has been left by our ancestors after thousands and thousands of years of evolution.
Our most primitive ancestors only had reptilian brain and limbic brain, some time later the neocortex would develop, which is responsible for our rational part, that explains why there is so much relationship between our thoughts and feelings, which when they operate in harmony help us to make better decisions and have behaviors and make more assertive decisions. However, due to that close relationship that exists between our rational and emotional part, sometimes occurs what is called neuronal abduction, where our limbic brain responsible for our emotions is able to control our rationality, which is why sometimes driven for only our emotions we have completely rational behaviors, such as: screaming, insulting, even hitting someone in a moment of anger.
That is why controlling our emotions is a fundamental and determining factor to obtain satisfactory results in many aspects of our lives, this new perspective shows us that our IQ is not the only key factor that determines future successes, since emotional intelligence can To become even more important, having emotional intelligence covers five fundamental pillars:
1.- Deduce our own emotions
2.- Manage our emotions
3.- Motivation
4.- Empathy
5.- Directing relationships with others
