The Importance of Balancing EQ and IQ for Self-Love
IQ is all about knowing what and who we are. We know we are supposed to be important, love, forgive, and respect ourselves. On the other hand, EQ is all about internalizing all these things and knowing that you have some Worth. It is the emotional intelligence side that is not just about recognizing or not recognizing the feelings we have but being aware of ourselves and developing and maintaining relationships through empathy. Empathy is being able to get out of ourselves and to feel from somebody’s else perspective. Without empathy, there is no emotional intelligence. Knowing your emotions, other people's emotions, and how to alter your behavior so that you are kind to all is key to emotional intelligence.
Join the conversation with your host Bettina as she shares more about the importance of balancing EQ and IQ for self-love. Without empathy, self-love, self-worth, and self-esteem that you get from emotional intelligence, it is impossible to live a happy and fulfilling life. Change your story, change your life, and open up your emotional intelligence. There is so much in you that you have not tapped into.
