A: Emotional intelligence is the ability that each one of us should be able to recognize and validly reason with different emotions to enhance our thinking. There are five main components of emotional intelligence that we have learned which include self-awareness, self-regulation, internal motivation, empathy and last but not least social skills. Using self-awareness as an example, it allows us to better understand ourselves on our moods as we become more aware of what is happening around us and also on how our moods may have an effect on the people around us. I have also learned about the six seconds model which have three important pursuits mainly: know yourself, choose yourself and give yourself. With this model, it allows me to think about the “what”, “how” and “why” type of questions before reacting to any situations.
