Abdullah Al Moinee 

Emotions are the particular patterns of psychological activities which are derived from the circumstantial chronicles of life. The chronicles are designed to go through many mutations and certain changes. Intelligence is the ability to adapt the changes. The measure of intelligence in the sensible realm of emotions is known as emotional intelligence. Emotional Intelligence (EI) creates the capability of individuals to recognize their own emotions and those of others, discern between different feelings, and characterize them appropriately. Emotional Intelligence is the ground to guide the emotional information of thinking and behavior for adapting the environment for enviable existence. 

Emotion is a mental state variously associated with thoughts, feelings, behavioral responses, and a degree of decision intertwined with mood, temperament, personality, disposition, and motivation. The original role of emotions is to motivate adaptive behaviors with respect to cognitive changes. The positive or negative experiences regarding the emotional activities needs to be managed by the driving force of intelligence. The emotional intelligence includes the skills: emotional awareness, the ability to respond positive perspective out of negative notion, the efficiency to harness respective emotions for applying them to tasks like thinking and problem solving. These skills can be extracted and adapted by means of unified force of emotional experiences and intuitive intelligence through perpetual practices. The practices will make anyone enable to recognize the right route to drive the essential emotions. 

Emotional intelligence represents a unique intersection of both mind and brain. Our feelings are there to be engaged and expressed with imagination and intelligence for practicing to adapt the skills and strategies for guiding the emotions. Intentional observation is a primary skill to adapt emotional intelligence. People need to observe how they react to others, make a concerted effort to put themselves in others place, and commit to be more open and accept of that particular perspectives. Self-evaluation is the positive catalyst to adopt the emotional intelligence which helps anyone to identify personal problems for getting an honest picture of own self. The picture aids to take responsibilities for actions which includes facing mistakes head-on, apologizing, and try to make the things right. The evaluation let people know how their actions will affect any environment. The work environment and behavior should be organized responsibly on the basis of grace, gratitude, humility, and harmony. The robust responsibility prepares people to examine how they react to stressful situations and work on staying calm, collected, and composed. 

Emotions are data that are actually valuable information that can help people see from a new perspective, find the truth, and make better decisions by the implementation of inborn intelligence. The intelligence impels the intuition to operate any action on trust and recognize, identify, clear up any misunderstandings. Emotions lead to actions and actions lead to results. Emotional intelligence makes people capable of understand the consequences of actions by activating the self-examination process. 

The gradual growth of emotional intelligence (EI) or emotional quotient (EQ) is nurtured by segregating positive and negative emotions perpetually through regular practices. Regulation of thoughts that create the emotions is essential to ensure the healthy growth of a psychological constitution for life. Following the constitution can help to change the perspectives by reducing negative emotions, enhancing adaptability through stepping at the situation objectively. The sensible steps help to know the stressors keenly and being proactive efficiently. It goes without saying that out of the vulnerabilities will come our strengths. Everyone encounters challenges. In these circumstances people need to be positive, think positive, and do positive which help them for adapting to the adversity, making weapon out of wound. The situational learning designs the path of life by being blessed for practicing optimism and sharpening emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence can evolve over time. Every situation of life is a prime learning opportunity to cultivate the nutrients of EQ for harvesting the guidance of emotions intelligently. Assertive communication is one of the nutrients of EQ that goes a long way toward gleaning respect without coming across as too passive. Emotionally intelligent people utilize the communication sustaining their own opinions and respecting other simultaneously. Thus they can stay imperturbable during any conflicting situations avoiding the impulsive decisions, making conscious choice to be focused on their assertive actions. 

Life is an art that reflects the sensible realm of emotions through the ways of work. The labyrinth of life can be explored by means of simplicity through the intelligent approach of dealing the emotions with empathy, motivation, self-awareness, and self-management. Empathetic people allow their experiences to create a resonance in order to respond in an emotionally appropriate way. It is the way to connect and navigate through the realm of other’s emotions. Whilst it may not come naturally, it can be nurtured gradually through practice, motivation, and meditation. Self-motivation is the shield of emotionally intelligent people which eventually motivates others. Their goals are set as they are resilient in the face of uncertain and certain challenges. The resilience originates the self-awareness to become intuitive inherently. The active intuition helps people to evaluate emotions around the environment for enhancing communicative and cognitive congruence. The congruent skills are necessary to predict about how any feelings will form through an interaction, consequently the cautious prediction help to take proper decision. The more the prediction will transmute into practice, the more people become emotionally intelligent. People need to maintain a journal of schedules for self-management so that the disciplines can concrete emotional stability out of the procrastinated instability. Self-management always triggers self-motivation for excavating the positive potential from emotional interaction. The positive potential prepares people to glean the great things even staying out of their comfort zone. In such premises, the emotional intelligence inspires them to be patient in exploring the trinity: I, me, and myself. 

Integrity and gratitude are the fueling forces that make anyone emotionally intelligent to inspire others through words, deeds, and examples. The ethics, endeavor, and enthusiasm in dealing with the emotions through perseverance and patience originate the intelligence for visualizing the visions and values. A strong personal philosophy can be originated by meditative motivation to guide the visions for decoding the emotions and manifesting the pathway to drive them intelligently. The philosophy gives birth to an inner compass that acts as the guardian angel of our purposes. The compass works properly only after perceiving the positive and pacific psychology by conceiving the courageous cognition for achieving the sense of motivation. The motivation sustains one’s visions, missions, beliefs, and core values which is originated in the conscious circle of emotions. The core of consciousness aspires people to see the multiple perspectives of a given situation. According to the review published in the journal of Annual Psychology, the practice of guiding the emotion on the ground of intelligence allows people for self-control with self-compassion through acquiring a better understanding of themselves which leads to self-actualization. Author and science journalist Daniel Goleman said “The emotional brain responds to an event more quickly than the thinking brain. Mindful meditation has been discovered to foster the ability to inhibit those very quick emotional impulses.” Bridging the gap between mind and brain, believing in the positive aspects of life, the mindful meditation sustains the altruistic attitude where courageous conscience can derive the determination to stimulate the emotions in an intelligent way.
