“The reality is unless we act responsibly and admit, confront, and resolve our personal issues, we are destined to repeat them. It’s either resolution or repetition.”

Emotional Quotient

Tue, 18 Oct 2011 08:18:00 -0400

According to Mayer and Salovey’s Four Branch Model of Emotional Intelligence, emotional intelligence abilities are divided into four areas. These interesting aspects are the following:

1. the capacity to accurately perceive emotions

2. the capacity to use emotions to facilitate thinking

3. the capacity to understand emotional meanings

4. the capacity to manage emotions

Goleman divides up emotional intelligence into the following five emotional competencies:

To identify and name one’s emotional states and to understand the link between emotions, thought and action
To manage one’s emotional states — to control emotions or to shift undesirable emotional states to more adequate ones
To enter into emotional states associated with a drive to achieve and be successful
To read, be sensitive to and influence other people’s emotions
To enter and sustain satisfactory interpersonal relationships

In Goleman’s view, these emotional competencies build on each other in a hierarchy. One must identify one’s emotions in order to manage them. One aspect of managing emotions involves entering into drive-to-achieve emotional states. These three abilities, when applied to other people, lead to the fourth one: to read and influence positively other people’s emotions. All four competencies lead to increased ability to enter and sustain good relationships.

**trying to search the real meaning of EQ***

..This quest started when my friend and I saw a post about a psychologist’s claim on the relationship of IQ and EQ. Popularly, the relationship states that people with high IQ have low EQ, and vice versa. When she asked me if i believed in this theory, my mind suddenly disappeared into nowhere. Speechless, I did not have a choice but to raise my right eyebrow. That’s when I realized how confused my mind was with the truth behind EQ. This motivated me to search the standards of experts on what EQ is all about.Upon searching, contradicting notions emerged from different articles. Hahaha. Anyway, this post contains the graspable information from http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Emotional_Quotient. :)

Free Spirit Sphere – Qualicum Beach, British Columbia

This hanging room is the brainchild of Tom and Rosy Chudleigh, a Canadian couple who build these spherical living spaces for customers around the world. The Chudleighs have two spheres hanging on their property: the Eve model, which has a diameter of 9 feet, and the Eryn model, which has a diameter of 10.5 feet. The spheres can be ordered fully loaded, equipped with plumbing, electricity and insulation. An average sphere weighs around 1,100 pounds, and it takes a crew of three about a day to install. The Chudleighs say that the structures gently rock in the wind, a nice thought — depending on just how windy it is.
