"I'm so stressed out!"

Did you know that your emotional intelligence can have a big impact on how you manage stress?

When we are aware of our own emotions (to include stress) we are able to engage the thinking portion of our brain to understand what is going on around us and to thoughtfully address it.

When you can identify, think through and deal with your emotions your stress level can go down, you can have a sense of control and thus optimism and you can invite flexibility and creativity to the situation. Increase your EQ and lower your stress!
