Emotional Intelligence

Morning Mantra: "Emotions are not a choice. Behavior is."Emotions must be felt. The joy, the sorrow, the anger, the peace. How you respond to the emotion is another story.Negative emotions like loneliness, envy, anger and guilt have an important role to play in a happy life. They are big flashing signs that something needs to change.Instead of just being reactive to a situation that creates negative emotions, try being aware of what the deeper meaning is.  The WHY.Our emotions are what make us human, the word emotion means 'energy in motion'.The key is to not let them control your behavior, your happiness, or the course of your life.Step back and observe the knee jerk reaction. Look at things from the perspective of why it causes you to behave in the way you do.  Learning the reason and addressing it allows you to be in control, not the emotion.You cannot deny your emotions, but you can learn to respond to them.#BeEmotionallyIntelligent  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHIppie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes
