Did you know that EQ – emotional intelligence is known to be more important than IQ? There have been many studies that show IQ only accounts for about 20% of success.
The ability to be aware of, control, regulate, express your feelings and have empathy for others, are all forms of emotional intelligence.
When people are not able to manage their emotions they either react to situations or avoid their emotions and suppress them. People use various ways to avoid and distract themselves from their feelings such as getting busy, working more, using substances like alcohol or eating and other behaviors. This can lead to addictions, depression, and anxiety.
Mastering the results of your emotions in:
Improved health and wellbeing
Connecting with yourself and others
Improved relationships and social life
Ability to make effective decisions and solve problems
Increased self- confidence
This is why I have created the Art formula to Master your Emotions in 3 simple steps
First step – Awareness
Second step – Recognise
Third step – Transformation
Awareness – Become aware of thoughts, feelings, and physiology, as thoughts affect your feelings and feelings affect your body.
Recognize – Accept and acknowledge emotions and learn to identify feelings and their messages. Recognize distorted thinking patterns and beliefs, contributing to emotional reactions.
Transformation – Activate healing energy, by ceasing resistance and allowing the self to have a direct experience of emotions until the energy is dissolved. Learn strategies to deal with emotions effectively. Release and let go of past negative emotions, deep in your unconscious, using the latest cutting edge techniques.
