87: Who Are You Calling Soft?? Emotional Intelligence Is NOT About Being a 'Nice' Person.
Have you ever been around someone whoâs like, âEmotional intelligence is being all soft, sweet, and floating around in a cloud of feelings all dayâŠâ and youâre like, âAww, thatâs cute. NO.âEmotional intelligence is not about being calm all the time.Itâs not about never getting angry, or letting your kids walk all over you.And itâs definitely not about sitting in a circle holding hands and talking about your feelings 24/7.It is about knowing yourself, managing your reactions, showing up with empathy, and staying motivatedâeven when everythingâs a hot mess.And honestly? Thereâs still so much misconception around EI, especially in the parenting world.âYou're raising snowflakes!â, âYou must talk about emotions all day!â Umm. Who even has time for that?!So hereâs the truth: emotional intelligence helps you make smarter, more efficient, more connected, more productive⊠like, everything you actually want.And it has nothing to do with floating on clouds or never saying no to your kids lol.If youâve ever thought, âAm I just too emotional,â or âEveryone says I need to toughen up,â take a seat!!Emotional intelligence isnât weaknessâitâs power.Enjoy!đ đ FREEBIES:Parent Guide: "3 Steps From Chaos to Connection" (How to raise emotionally intelligent kids)Parent Guide: "Beating Anxiety in Kids" (Evidence based strategies to support anxious, sensitive kids)AVAILABLE NOW at stephaniepinto.com/resources đđđHi, I'm Stephanie Pinto.
