New Neuroscience Reveals 4 Secrets That Will Make You Emotionally Intelligent

To become more emotionally intelligent, remember the four R’s:

• Realize:Self-awareness, ironically, comes from others.
• Recognize and label:Ask yourself how you’re feeling. If you answer “fine”, please slap yourself. Be specific. Label the emotion. Name it to tame it.
• Refine:Broaden your emotional vocabulary. Distinguish emotions to find better ways to cope or to amplify them. Create new emotions and share them. (If you’re not sick with COVID but you’re sick of COVID, that’s obviously the emotion of “pandemicitis” and we can all relate.)
• Reframe:It’s not anxiety; it’s excitement. It’s not stress; it’s a challenge. Emotions are not destiny, they are stories. Rewrite them.

Emotional intelligence starts with you but it quickly extends to others. Practice these skills and you no longer have to use the tired expression “I know how you feel.” You will know how someone feels. You’ll be able to describe it and understand how it differs from other feelings. You’ll relate.

And one of the greatest gifts we can give to others, now and forever, is to make them feel they are not alone in this world.
