Benefits of emotional intelligence

1. Increases self-knowledge

Self-knowledge allows us to review our belief and value systems, increase self-esteem, recognize our strengths and weaknesses to make better decisions. All this implies a constant personal growth that translates into a greater inner well-being.

2.- Improve our interpersonal relations

When we feel good about ourselves, relationships with others tend to be of better and higher quality. We have a clear tendency to find solutions and minimize conflicts, skills that are highly valued in the workplace and in every social context.

3.- Strengthens leadership capabilities

The development of the capacities and skills that emotional intelligence provides is indispensable for good leadership. A person who has emotional self-control and develops empathy will always be able to influence and guide others in their development processes.

4.-Increases motivation

When we know how to manage our emotions we understand that “failures” are really learning experiences that we turn into steps to support us and keep moving forward to achieve our goals.

5.- Benefits mental health

By strengthening emotional intelligence, anxiety, stress and even depression tend to lower their symptoms. When we become aware of what we feel, a door opens to look for strategies that help us focus on other emotions that are more conducive to our health.

From the previous approaches we can conclude that developing emotional intelligence is giving oneself the opportunity to grow as a person, find more favorable paths to achieve goals, notably improve interpersonal relationships and all this leads us to live in greater individual and collective well-being.

Fundación Vivir is based on the idea that each and every person we help or educate through emotional intelligence can achieve small changes in their environment by actively participating with kindness, generosity and creativity.

“Because it’s better to live better.”
