2 EQ ASSESSMENT AND PERSONAL REFLECTION EQ Assessment and Personal Reflection The capacity to identify, comprehend, and control one's own emotions as well as the capacity to comprehend and shape the emotions of others is known as emotional intelligence ( Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, 1999) . It entails understanding how emotions influence people's conduct and have a positive or bad effect on them. There are methods you can improve emotional intelligence, even though the idea can sometimes seem hazy or difficult to grasp. You can improve your ability to forge bonds with others and carry out joint duties by taking the time to hone and develop these talents. Your actions may be influenced by your emotions. Being emotionally intelligent might aid you in avoiding circumstances where you might act impulsively rather than according to logic. You can achieve more success in both your personal and professional lives by comprehending and controlling your emotions as well as those of others. While seeing other people and their relationships can be beneficial, keeping an eye on your own feelings and reactions can also help you become more emotionally aware. Think about how your feelings affect your choices and actions. For instance, you may observe that you become irritable with other people when you are stressed. You might also notice that your shoulders slump or that your head is cocked downward when you're depressed or angry. Exercise Reflection The first exercise, Learning Styles and Payoffs, introduces the reader to the idea of emotional intelligence right away. To determine the reader's thoughts on the value of the information on EI along with how the reader plans to use the instructional resources, three questions are asked at the start of the activities. In the following section, the authors ask their

3 EQ ASSESSMENT AND PERSONAL REFLECTION readers about learning. This portion of the exercise appeared to be designed to compel the reader to reflect about their most recent attempt at anything new. Ciarrochi and Mayer write in the conclusion that the exercise's goal was to "draw the conclusion that EI is something that we employ on a daily, in fact hourly, basis and learning how to improve these skills is as valuable and perhaps even more valuable as other skills that we have learned” (2007, p. 59). The authors write, "One aspect of managing emotions is to be able to stay open to feelings, even though they might be unwelcome," at the end of lesson three. If emotions include information, ignoring such information will frequently be foolish (p. 66). The activity gave us a lot of useful knowledge on how emotions can influence our decisions. This reader thought that the exercise's usage of the emotional blueprint was intriguing since it tied to the plot. Very intelligent people who do not take the time to first control their emotions frequently make sensible or irrational conclusions. Finding the emotional blueprint was made easier with the help of exercise four. The reader thought it to be intriguing to ponder on how one concludes. The conclusion contributed to highlighting how crucial it is to consider all available information before making a choice. According to the authors, Larry was aware that the case's facts had not been properly gathered. The absence of pure facts in this case did not, however, inspire him to participate (p. 69). The facts of this case made it clear that there were other factors at play in the decision-making process in addition to emotion. The fifth exercise, which dealt with emotional experiences, provided understanding of the relationship between our physical feelings and our emotions. Exercise six concentrated on being able to associate bodily sensations with the appropriate emotional category. These activities were

4 EQ ASSESSMENT AND PERSONAL REFLECTION beneficial because they increased the student's understanding of how to properly identify an emotion and link it to a behavior. The reader got introduced to an unfamiliar concept in exercise seven, the energy of emotion. This activity is used by Ciarrochi and Mayer to demonstrate how emotions affect thinking and action. The reader had never considered how challenging it can be at times to convey one's feelings. "Emotions follow rules and have patterns of energy," the researchers write. For example, satisfaction, grief, or even boredom fall within the category of lower-energy emotions if one is feeling low energy (2007, p. 73). There is validity in the statement that energy comes from emotion. The writers turn their attention to controlling emotions and comprehending induvial emotional lenses as they continue to exercise number eight. For this kid, the exercise on managing emotions had the biggest influence. There are numerous diverse interpretations of the word "insight." The reader found it particularly moving when the author wrote, "In this case, "a" responses indicate that you have a developed sense of emotional insight; "c" responses suggest that you are not sure about your insight into how people feel, and what motivates or affects them" (p. 77). It is far too common to fail to consider how a person's emotional condition may influence others. The ninth exercise held particular attention because it was concerned with comprehending the process of feelings and how it affects thought and action. Additionally, the authors wanted their readers to become more aware of their own circumstances. Through the many case studies as the exercises developed. Various emotional lenses, according to Ciarrochi and Mayer, "influence how we take in information, process it, and then act on it. You might be

5 EQ ASSESSMENT AND PERSONAL REFLECTION able to get different and more desired results by being open and shifting your emotional lens" (p. 82). This realization enables the reader to concentrate on the specific outcome wanted by concentrating on their own unique manner of interpreting information and reacting to it. The most impactful exercise was number ten, according to this reader. Today's leaders are unaware that their influence is one of the greatest underutilized tools available. There have been numerous instances where the impact of a manager or emotions spread quickly through the population without the person in charge even being aware of the consequences or extent of their impact or how it might be used to their organization's advantage or disadvantage. Personal and Biblical Application The validity of the capacity to identify, comprehend, and control one's emotions has been confirmed. It is believed that emotional intelligence makes for stronger leaders and reduces mental exhaustion. The reader has taken away multiple ways to improve one’s Emotional Intelligence. For example, if one discovers that your handling of someone's feelings or your interpretation of a certain emotion was incorrect, learn from your errors and approach the situation better the next time. In Genesis 1:27 it reads, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them” (KJV). Emotions are included in all people because we are made in God's image. It would be difficult to claim that a person's emotional state is unrelated to their mental condition or that emotions aren't a key component of human connections. The Bible is filled with texts in which God instructs his people to take care of their emotions, including restraining from rage and controlling speech.

6 EQ ASSESSMENT AND PERSONAL REFLECTION With this Biblical text in mind, readers can learn from each interaction with others and improve moving forward. Emotional Intelligence is improved through self-awareness and self- reflection. This reader has begun working in these areas to improve Emotional intelligence and working to be a better leader and example for those in community. People who have higher levels of emotional intelligence can impact those around them in the best way possible. This also allows people to express their own emotions properly and this will create a healthier environment around them. God expresses emotion in the Bible. He is envious, loves, and becomes angry. His son has emotional outward manifestations in John 11:35. In Psalm 147:3, God expresses His profound concern for His people: "He healeth the broken in heart, And bindeth up their wounds" (KJV). It's crucial to manage all the blessings that God bestows wisely. Understanding, empathy, compassion, comprehension, and good communication all start with emotions. Since relationships are what we were formed for, it makes sense that an emotional connection would also be a part of those relationships. Thus, telling readers that Emotional intelligence is a very important attribute for all people in community.
