 Being aware of one's own emotions - recognizing and acknowledging feelings as they happen - is
at the very heart of Emotional Intelligence. And this awareness encompasses not only moods but also
thoughts about those moods. People who are able to monitor their feelings as they arise are less likely to
be ruled by them and are thus better able to manage their emotions.
Managing emotions does not mean suppressing them; nor does it mean giving free rein to every
feeling. Psychologist Daniel Goleman, one of several authors who have popularized the notion of
Emotional Intelligence, insisted that the goal is balance and that every feeling has value and significance.
As Goleman said, "A life without passion would be a dull wasteland of neutrality, cut off and isolated
from the richness of life itself."Thus, we manage our emotions by expressing them in an appropriate
manner. Emotions can also be managed by engaging in activities that cheer us up, soothe our hurts, or
reassure us when we feel anxious.
Clearly, awareness and management of emotions are not independent. For instance, you might
think that individuals who seem to experience their feelings more intensely than others would be less able
to manage them. However, a critical component of awareness of emotions is the ability to assign meaning
to them - to know why we are experiencing a particular feeling or mood. Psychologists have found that,
among individuals who experience intense emotions, individual differences in the ability to assign
meaning to those feelings predict differences in the ability to manage them. In other words, if two
individuals are intensely angry, the one who is better able to understand why he or she is angry will also
be better able to manage the anger.
Self-motivation refers to strong emotional self-control, which enables a person to get moving and
pursue worthy goals, persist at tasks even when frustrated, and resist the temptation to act on impulse.
Resisting impulsive behavior is, according to Goleman,"the root of all emotional selfcontrol."
Of all the attributes of Emotional Intelligence, the ability to postpone immediate gratification and
to persist in working toward some greater future gain is most closely related to success - whether one is
trying to build a business, get a college degree, or even stay on a diet. One researcher examined whether
this trait can predict a child's success in school. The study showed that 4-year- old children who can delay
instant gratification in order to advance toward some future goal will be "far superior as students" when
they graduate from high school than will 4-year-old who are not able to resist the impulse to satisfy their
immediate wishes.
