Sometimes the best way to solve your own problems is to help someone else.
Growing is a slow process. It’s okay if you’re not where you want to be now. With hard work and care, you will get there in time.
Low emotional intelligence: you might be oversensitive to other people’s feelings in response to you, obsess about problems until you find a concrete solution, frequently feel a flood of emotions that you can’t attribute to a specific life event: you may feel bad far more often than you feel good.
If you have high emotional intelligence, you likely regulate your emotions well; handle uncertainties and difficulties without excessive panic, stress, and fear; and avoid overreacting to situations before knowing the full details.
Emotional intelligence: you understand what’s going on in your head and heart; you don’t make hasty decisions on impulse; you can motivate yourself to delay gratification; you listen to, understand, and relate to other people well; you’re able to focus on other people.
Shame vanishes when you receive support and understanding from others. We must stop trying to appear perfect by keeping our perceived flaws a secret and going it alone.
We’re often afraid to show the messy, flawed, and vulnerable part of ourselves to others. It can be a tremendous relief when you do and someone accepts you just as you are.
“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world” – Anne Frank
You are allowed to change your opinions without people trying to make you feel guilty about it. Just because you believed it before doesn’t mean you have to believe it forever. People are always changing and learning.
To deal with emotional pain, you can develop emotional intelligence, learn to sit with negative feelings, and create situations for positive feelings.
