Synthesis
The journey to personal development entails knowing how to manage your emotions. You have to understand
how your emotions influence how you think and how you act upon your experiences. IQ is not enough to
become successful in life. You need to be emotionally intelligent so that you can cope well and enjoy your
journey in school and in life.
Emotion is your reaction to any stimulus, and it comes from your limbic system, the area in your brain that
reacts automatically to the world around you without your rational thought or reasoning (Hasson, 2012). All
emotions have positive reasons as to why you feel them.
There are different types of emotions. Positive emotions may help you to become more motivated in doing
your tasks; they may even develop your creativity or establish harmonious relationships with others. Positive
emotions are also associated with good physical and psychological conditions. On the contrary, negative
emotions, such as anger, rage, boredom, and disgust, may reduce your efficiency and even your motivation
to perform certain tasks. However, when emotions are too strong, and you lose control of handling your
feelings, your thoughts and even your actions are affected. Thus, you have to know how to manage your
emotions. To manage your emotions, you need to notice and be aware of your emotions. You have to
recognize what you feel in a particular situation or experience.
Finally, emotional intelligence is the capacity to understand and manage emotions. According to Daniel
Goleman, one of the proponents of emotional intelligence, emotional intelligence includes the individual's
ability to motivate oneself despite frustrations, the capacity to control impulses, and the ability to empathize
with others.
