A life devoid of emotions has no meaning. Emotions and experiences guide us every step we take. By being devoid of emotions, we lose certain tunes and fail to make choices that reflect what is truly meaningful to us. On the other hand, emotions left alone do not turn life into a dreamland. These emotions must necessarily be balanced by a rational analysis that the cognitive brain is responsible for. Otherwise, decisions made 'in anger' can jeopardize the complex balance in relationships with others. If we don't pay attention, if we act thoughtlessly and unplanned, we will be shaken by the ebb and flow of pleasure or disappointment that will randomly come our way. The term emotional intelligence best describes this balance between emotion and reason. It is intelligence that includes the management of our understanding and emotions. Emotional intelligence has little to do with IQ. Studies show that less than 20 percent of a person's success in life is attributed to IQ. Eighty percent of one's success belongs to other factors.
-the capacity to determine the emotional state of others and oneself
-the ability to understand the natural flow of emotions
-reasoning over our own and others' emotions executive ability
-the ability to direct our own and others' emotions
These four natural abilities are the core principle of self-mastery and social success. When combined, these skills form the basis for self-knowledge, dignity, compassion, sharing, and the ability to overcome difficulties. Although these may seem simple and most of us are sure that we probably have these abilities, the situation is not as it seems. People with high IQ but pathetic emotional intelligence may have good jobs and careers, but they have few friends, are unlikable, talk about themselves all the time, and are indifferent to those around them. Their main flaw is that they are unaware of their own feelings; Likewise, they are deaf to the feelings of others.
The best indicator of success in life is the mastery of emotional intelligence compared to IQ. A study on children living in poor slums showed that emotional intelligence plays a more important role in life success. These children are adults They owed their success when they were young not to their IQ, but to their ability to control their emotions, cope with their resentments and cooperate with others during their deprived childhood.
The inability to clearly distinguish different emotional states can lead to malnutrition. You work very hard, you lose sleep and your body tells you 'stop for a while, you need to sleep', but you only listen to the 'you need' voice and you satisfy this by eating the junk food that is always at hand. Because overeating is commonplace, but it is also very difficult to control. Most doctors who specialize in nutrition and obesity agree on this point: In societies that are always under stress and have plenty of food ready to meet it, not being able to manage emotions well is the main reason for weight gain. People who know how to cope with their stress usually do not have weight problems; because they are people who have learned how to listen to their bodies, differentiate their emotions and respond to them intelligently.
