TOPIC:
Do you feel like you respond or react in daily interactions? And when you don’t feel your best, how do you reset? Today, we are educating each other on our mystery topics… *dramatic pause*... emotional intelligence (EQ) & how to get out of a funk. We take a self-regulation pop quiz to explore how emotional intelligence shows up in various areas of life, and share ways to improve your EQ. We also provide practical strategies to reconnect with yourself while in a funk, like decluttering or listening to music reminiscent of a happier time.
