The Five Core Elements of Emotional Intelligence

At its heart, emotional intelligence rests on five essential abilities.

The first is self-awareness.

This is the foundation. It is the ability to pause and recognize, “I am feeling anxious right now,” instead of being swallowed by anxiety without understanding it. A self-aware child can say, “I’m embarrassed,” rather than act out in anger. A self-aware adult can admit, “I’m overwhelmed,” rather than lash out.

Without awareness, emotions control us.

With awareness, we begin to lead them.
