I have had a time but unlike anything else I stopped and took my time,
and the module discussion really did hit home with me. The different
concepts we all have studied the material was so essential and I
drafted many notes but the main topic that stood out to me was the
emotional intelligence segment. On the assessment that we took was
based off of my results that proved I scored higher in emotional
intelligence. The tactics to use in my emotional intelligence studying
and have the tips taught in this modules resource showed that I am
capable of holding it together and able to relate in my job to my
consumers. I work in the medical field and it takes a lot of time,
patience and coping skills to get through a successful shift. The fact
that I learned about being able to have a great EQI 2.0 as well as as a
decent IQ proved to me that I was balanced. The fact of being
conscious of others coping strategies is a tactic that I feel I would be
able to grow in because at work it is about team work and hearing
others opinions and being able to come to an agreement is very
beneficial and can cause a lot less stress. And the fact of being able to
do so also implies that the use of it can affect my peers by the
behaviors that are associated with the programmatic course of
emotional intelligence. Based on my self-assessment, my coping
strategies are practically non-existent... That's exaggerated quite a
bit, but I did find that I am apparently not the best with coping skills. I
scored highest in preventative and avoidance, which screams to me
"ANXIETY". I definitely agree with my results, I am often
(over)thinking the near future, creating an escape plan for the
situations I could be put in, as well as avoiding and procrastinating
conflict or problems as long as humanly possible. a
Some value in being conscious about coping strategies is the ability to
reduce overall stress and work through difficult emotions. It is related
to emotional regulation because in order to be aware of your personal
coping strategies, you need to be self-aware and in tune with your
mind and body. a
Coping behaviors and strategies in my opinion are directly correlated
with both self-care and emotional intelligence. To practice self-care,
you literally need to use your emotional intelligence to be in touch
with both your mind and your physical body.
