Emotional awareness is a key component of emotional intelligence. Knowing your emotions, and being in control of them, helps you better control your reaction in difficult situations, and it gives you the ability to decide if your feelings are helpful or harmful to your growth. Unlike your Intellectual Quotient (IQ), your Emotional Quotient (EQ) can grow. To increase your EQ, go through each day of the 25-day cycle in this journal and perform each step. If you feel you need to further improve, then repeat the cycle as often as necessary. With practice you will master these steps and greatly improve your emotional intelligence and wellness, along with improving your professional and social relationships.
