Which emotion are you feeling right now?

As you look at this list of emotions, which one are you feeling?

Noticing which emotions you feel at what times and how they change is key to a practice of mindfulness which simply means your capacity to remain present. Being present allows you to focus on the task or person at hand and provide your best self in any situation.

Being aware of your emotions and how they might be effecting your thinking and your actions leads to a higher level of emotional intelligence which is proven to be more important than your IQ.

There is an assessment that can measure your emotional intelligence which will provide you with ways you, personally and specifically, can improve your ability to communicate with others.

Emotional Intelligence – Social Awareness – Active Listening

Increasing your social awareness starts with building your skills in active listening. What is the person trying to convey to you by their tone of voice or body language? Listening for what isn’t being said is sometimes as or more important than the words someone is using.

If you are mindful of all the cues someone you are talking to is exhibiting, you have a better chance of interpreting the true meaning of the conversation. The better you are at gathering clues to the context of the message, the higher your chances are of building trust with that person through your interactions with them.
