Emotional Intelligence
Emotional Intelligence is the ability to
understand, use, and manage our emotions.
Emotional Intelligence is sometimes called
EQ (or El) for short.
EQ helps us build strong relationships, make
the right decisions, and deal with stressful
situations.
On the other hand, negative emotions are those that we
typically do not find pleasurable to experience. Pam
(2013) defined negative emotions as "an unpleasant
or unhappy emotion which is evoked in individuals
to express a negative effect towards an event
Positive Emotions or person."
Positive emotions are emotions that Negative Emotions
we typically find pleasurable to experience. The
Oxford Handbook of Positive Psychology defines
them as "pleasant or desirable situational responses...
distinct from pleasurable sensation and undifferentiated
positive affect" (Cohn & Fredrickson, 2009).
Improving Managing Emotions and Its
Importance on Communication
1. Being Aware of Your Emotions
Most people feel different emotions throughout the
day, some feelings (like a surprise) last just a few
seconds. Others may stay longer, creating a mood like
happiness or sadness. Being able to notice and
accurately label these everyday feelings is the most
basic of all the EQ skills. Being
aware of our emotions—merely noticing them as we
feel them – helps us manage our own emotions.
It also a way to understand how other people feel.
Practice recognizing emotions as you feel them. Label them in your mind, and do not
disregard them. Make it a habit to be aware of your emotions.

2. Understanding How Others Feel
And Why
People are naturally born to try to understand
others. Part of EQ is being able to imagine how other
people might feel in certain situations. Being able to
imagine what emotions a person is likely to be
feeling is called empathy. Empathy helps us to care
about others and to build good friendships and
relationships.

3. Managing Emotional Reactions
Everyone gets angry. Everyone feels disappointments.
Often, it is important to express how you feel.
However, managing your reaction means knowing
when, where, and how to express yourself. Upon
learning to understand and manage your emotions,
you can now manage them for a certain time and
place.
Someone who has a good EQ knows that it can
damage relationships to react to emotions
disrespectfully, too intense, too impulsive, or harmful.

4. Choosing Your Mood
Part of managing emotions is choosing our moods.
Moods are emotional states that last a bit. We
have the power to decide what is right for a
specific situation. Choosing the right mood can
help someone get motivated, concentrate on a
task, or try again instead of giving up. People with
good EQ know that moods are not just things that
happen to us. We can control them by knowing
which mood is best for a particular situation.

The Emotions of Adolescence
Adolescence can be a highly emotional stage in one's life. Many of us experience
different emotions in similar situations, as well as similar emotions in different
situations. Several descriptions of adolescent's emotions are as follows:
Adolescence in Western culture is characterized as a period of emotional
upheaval and confusion according to Arnett (1999), others described youth's inner
lives using the word like "alienated," "desperate," and "overwhelmed."
Adolescents are dealing with lots of emotional highs and lows. One minute, they
may feel great; the next day, they feel sad and tearful.
They are experiencing new levels of emotional variability, moodiness, and
emotional outbursts. They often struggle with being dependent on their parents
while having a strong desire to be independent.
