Respond to Willow Post

Hello, my name is Willow and my major is in psychology with a concentration in mental health. 

Based on the emotional intelligence test my highest score was a tie between self-regulation and empathy. My results do reflect my current feelings about myself. I've been working in my mental health for months now and learning how to love myself. Emotional intelligence can help me overcome challenges and achieve my goals by allowing me to recognize the parts in myself that I need to change in order to become the person I want to be. It will also allow me the strength and emotional depth to overcome any obstacles. Awareness of your EI score can relate to self-care by allowing someone to be able to reflect on themselves and improve in the ways which would make them happy.

Remember to respond to two peers while being respectful of and sensitive to their viewpoints. Consider advancing the discussion in the following ways:

• Post an article, video, or visual to reinforce a peer's idea or challenge them to see their point from a different perspective.
• Engage in conversation with your peers around EI. Consider asking a question or sharing your personal experience. Also consider asking advice from a peer who has a strength in a domain in which you have opportunity to develop.
