How do you manage emotions?
I control and manage my emotions by reflecting on how my emotions will
affect the people around me. We are humans and we have feelings too but we
should still be sensitive on how it will affect other people or react to it for it can
make or destroy relationships. I myself admits that I’m an emotional person but
sometimes I just keep it on myself and there are times also that I cannot hold it
in. In that case when I cannot hold my emotions, I just make sure that I react
accordingly and not in an over reacting way. In short, balancing your emotions
depending on the situation help you manage your emotions.
1. In your own words, what is an emotional intelligence?
For me, Emotional Intelligence refers to how a person knows and understand
his/her emotions to be able to handle and manage it given a certain situation.
Also, being aware about other’s emotion and that his or her emotion can affect
other. It can be also about how emotionally stable a person when experiencing
stress or problems. Having emotional intelligence is important for an individual
to live peacefully and harmoniously with other people.
2. How do one's emotions affect other people?
One's emotions can be express on many ways either
through our words, actions, facial expressions,
gestures, etc., It is natural to feel this way because
it’s our personality and behavior. If the people
around you feel or see what you are feeling they will
also feel the same way and at the same time respond
to it. One example is when your friend looks sullen
it will make you put in a bad mood too or either you’ll do something silly or fun
to make her feel better. Or when someone is crying, you’ll be sad too that’s why
you’ll pat him/her in the back to comfort him/her. This is why we should manage
our emotions, for it affect other people as well.
