Recent studies in social psychology and economics reveal the incredible importance of emotional intelligence. This form of intelligence affects every aspect of a person's life, from how much they will earn to their overall happiness with life.
Emotional intelligence describes the ability of an individual to make critical insights into their current emotional state. This has also been called heart intelligence because of the association between higher emotional intelligence and being in tune with one's own 'heart rhythm.'
Stressors in life are constant. Everyone experiences stress on daily basis, no matter if they are happy or depressed, healthy or sick.

Stressors in life are constant. Everyone experiences stress on daily basis, no matter if they are happy or depressed, healthy or sick.
What is being found more and more is that the people who manage their stress most effectively, and in turn are happier, are the people who look deeply into what is stressing them and find ways to remove that stress. These people have a high heart intelligence. They do not necessarily eliminate the stress from their life, rather they are able to reframe their reaction to the stressor.
For example, a common stressor is getting stuck in a traffic jam. People with low heart intelligence tend to become angry and form a new, detrimental heart rhythm because of these stressors. They often see the universe as 'out to get them' or as though they are 'the only one who has bad things happen to them.' These feelings of anger, sadness, and persecution will over time contribute to health problems like heart disease and diabetes.
People with high heart intelligence on the other hand are able to regulate their emotions and re-frame their outlook on the situation. These people will say to themselves "this is just a minor irritation in life" and find ways to be thankful for the situation they are in. Thankfulness may be something like "It's a good thing that (inconvenience) happened, for if it were not for that, I would have ended up in this (outcome) worse situation. Or, an acceptance of the situation may be something like "the car breakdown preventing a scheduled road trip probably means I am not meant to go anyway."
While in each example, the stressor is not removed from life, they have instead reshaped the way they react to stress into a more productive and healthy manner. This keeps a person with high heart intelligence in tune with their heart rhythms and leads to a healthy, more satisfying life.
Fortunately, everyone can increase their emotional intelligence with a little practice. Try this: place your right hand over your chest, feeling your heartbeat, and find a genuine sentiment of appreciation for someone or something in your life. Make sure it is a true sentiment of appreciation or warmth. Focus on this feeling of gratitude for 15-20 seconds and then remove your hand.
This activity will help you get into alignment with your heart rhythm. Practice exploring your emotions in this way a few times a day. When stressful situations arise, repeat this exercise and find sentiments of inner peace. This will not only realign you with your heart rhythm but also increase your heart intelligence and give you a healthier more fulfilling life.
Not too bad for a few seconds of soul searching!

ReplyDeleteHello to every one out here,
I'm very excited sharing this testimony about how i save my marriage when my heart was broken, My name is Michelle Robert from USA, My husband and I are both directors and shareholders in our family business. We have been married for 20 years but my husband is now going for a divorce, i agreed in the first place but i later realized what happens to my family and what rights will I have in the business if my husband divorce me, and i have worked so hard for my family and this business, i was incomplete and wondered what to do because he already went to court. I was browsing on the internet when i saw a post on how a spell caster called Chief Nwaluta Mallam Zack helped someone bring back her ex, so i wondered if he can help me, i gave him the try and contacted him at his email {nwalutaspelltemple@gmail.com}, he told me not to worry that everything would be alright, i gave him the chance to cast the spell, he told me that in 48 hours my husband will come back and beg me, i never believed it at first, surprisingly completing 48 hours he came back and started to beg me not be to be annoyed about what he did, and now we are happy again. Thank you Chief Nwaluta Mallam Zack today my home is restored back if you are going through similar problem you can contact him at his private Email: nwalutaspelltemple@gmail.com .
