Everything we do - every action, every thought - is motivated by our emotions.
\\n
\\nIn the simplest form, our emotions push us towards what we want and away from what we don\\u2019t want.
\\n
\\nAnd right now, the emotions we\\u2019re experiencing, individually and collectively, are extremely powerful.
\\n
\\nThis means that our emotions might be holding us back from showing up the way we want to for our family or community.
\\n
\\nOr our emotions might be pushing us to do things we don\\u2019t want to do or say things we don\\u2019t really want to say.
\\n
\\nSince our emotions play such a powerful role in our lives, it\\u2019s easy to see that understanding and regulating our emotions is a vital skill.
\\n
\\nThis skill is called Emotional Intelligence.
\\n
\\nAnd it\\u2019s so important that a client of mine calls it a superpower.
\\n
\\nAnd like any other skill, Emotional Intelligence is trainable.
\\n
\\nIf you\\u2019d like to learn how to train yourself in Emotional Intelligence, and gain the ability to show up for the world as a parent, as a neighbor, or as a colleague, just drop a comment below or send me an email (art@artburnscoaching.com).
