Emotional Intelligence is the ability to understand and manage emotions, and social information — which utilize both cognitive and non-cognitive skills. The cognitive skills used when practicing emotional intelligence are self-awareness and self-management. Self-awareness is being aware of your feelings and emotions. And self-management is the ability to manage those feelings, emotions, and impulses. The non-cognitive skills related to emotional intelligence is self-motivation or persistence, empathy, and social skills. Self-motivation or persistence is your ability to continue to try and give effort to something even when you encounter setbacks or when you fail. Empathy is the ability to understand on a deeper level the feelings of other people. And finally, social skills are your ability to socialize and process the emotions of others (Baack, 2017).
One example of how I might use emotional intelligence in my daily life might be when comforting a friend in need of support. When a friend comes to me to talk about something that is affecting them emotionally, I use empathy to feel and understand how they are feeling. Then I use social skills to process and cope with their emotions. Next, I would use the cognitive abilities related to the emotional intelligence of self-awareness and self-management skills to relay some ways that I manage my feelings in a healthy way to my friend. Communicating this information might help them process and control what they feel so that they can have a clearer mind to handle and react to the situation.
