Do You Embody Emotional Intelligence?

Did you know that our emotions are the language of the body while thoughts are the language of the mind?

Every time we have a thought, consciously or not, our brain sends a chemical cocktail throughout our body that is felt in the form of a corresponding emotion.

We will never be able to outrun an emotion.

It happens instantaneously and sometimes even without our notice.

We suddenly feel a certain way; sad or upset and we don’t know why.

There is a thought that created that emotion.

There was a memory of the past, or an imagination of the future that creates an experience in our body in the here and now.

Have you ever just watched someone you love from afar and all of a sudden you felt a warm flow of love wash over you toward them?

Your body responded to that thought.

Sometimes we see or hear someone do something that creates a negative feeling for us, too, like fear, sadness, scarcity, or anger.

We may feel sick to our stomach or our heart races, and we can become dysregulated where the feelings we feel are so overwhelming that we are having trouble getting back to a balanced state and it hinders our ability to have a logical and reasonable interaction with others.

We all can have moments of dysregulation with the stresses of life and learning to recognize those moments within ourselves and others is so important for the health of our relationships.

Learning to have compassion for ourselves and others and being able to communicate that in a loving way is the key to putting the health of the relationship first by communicating that one of you is not in a good state of mind and emotions to be able to have a productive conversation.

I’ve heard that any relationship can only ever be as healthy as the least healthy person in it.

Sometimes we must agree to take a break, but also to agree upon a time that we will come back to discuss the issue at hand. Because “stonewalling” which is refusing to communicate, along with criticism, defensiveness, and contempt, are all attempts of our brain to protect us from uncomfortable emotions.

The more emotionally intelligent (recognizing our emotional state) and emotionally resilient (being able to process through our challenging emotions) will determine our own state of health, emotionally and physically (because our emotions are of the body and can affect our physical state) and the health of all of our relationships.

Our life is only as enjoyable as the health of our relationships and WE get to CREATE for ourselves our own experience of each of our relationships! Whether it’s your MARRIAGE, MOTHERHOOD, FAMILY, WORK, or with YOURSELF, let’s chat about how I CAN HELP ❤ ~Be Blessed, Jenny xoxo
