“The feeling or belief that one can have faith in or rely on someone or something.”
— Oxford English Dictionary online, 2019
In A and B of the A-Z of Emotional Intelligence, we established how improved Emotional Intelligence will raise your awareness of the nuances of how attitude and behaviour affect the outcomes of your daily life.
These layers of awareness build over time, the more you exercise these muscles the better they will get about spotting trigger situations for you earlier. Things that would have endlessly bugged or upset you previously will be managed with greater ease each time, as you will see them coming and have more time to mitigate them.
Emotional Intelligence is a muscle you work every day
Increased Emotional Intelligence is not a panacea to perfect days, it does not mean that you rise above these events and skip over them. In fact, you will actively start to spot them more!
The difference is you change your approach and attitude to them, it’s something that you will continue to work on for the rest of your life to a greater or lesser degree each day. This awareness forms part of your emotional toolkit that helps you manage situations better the more you use it.
Sometimes it will be low, and that’s OK. Sometimes it will be higher and that’s OK too. The awareness of that will make your acceptance of each of these outcomes much more palatable and allow you to move through them and onto the next much quicker.
Improved Emotional Intelligence will make you more confident
This is the key, the awareness of your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to attitude and behaviour will give you more confidence. Being able to spot pressure points for yourself and others earlier will give you a greater sense of calm and control over situations that may have once felt difficult to manage. You will be more confident of the outcomes of your days and your life.
Imagine, a more confident and calm you with a feeling or belief that you can take on anything… just like this guy!
