Emotional Quotient or Intelligent quotient

Image
Emotional Quotient (E.Q. ) related with the level of emotional intelligence (E.I.). . Emotional Intelligence is synonymous with the emotional leadership. check out my new website:  www.yadavruchi.com You  will be surprised it is not your I.Q. which is more important for your mental well being  rather it is you E.Q. This term became a popular word when Daniel Golman  ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Goleman  ) wrote the book on ‘ Emotional Quotient-why it matters more than IQ’ . I have heard many people bragging about their I.Q. but when they get work deadlines or any sort of pressure/crisis in the life, they easily crack under pressure. These days stress is a major reason when it comes to mental health. Some experts are of opinion that these days stress level of an average person is similar to the stress level of schizophrenic patient in early 20 th  century. Still, no one talks about how to handle stress? How ...

Highly sensitive people/ HSP

Image
The reason I am writing about is I am a highly sensitive person. Till now I used to think it is not normal to be one. Then I researched about it and below are my thoughts. I am sure after reading this post, you will be as thrilled as me. Highly sensitive person perceives world different than others. HSP is an innate personality trait. Recent studies have shown that 15%-25% of people belong to HSP category. Means it is completely normal to be the one. Contrary to popular belief highly sensitive people are not shy (being shy is a learned behavior) rather the majority of them are extroverts. They tend to be more aware of the environment and therefore process information deeply in the cortex. Which means they tend to be more artistic and  creative. Their spectrum of emotions range from being happy to getting overwhelmed. It is like a sky full of stars can make them cry with happiness, or they can write a poem or sing a song about it. They get overwhelmed easily and t...

Ever wondered how you can identify who is dominant or boss in office or at home or in a relationship. Just a simple observation and you can click this in just a second. Look at below pictures One thing is common how everything is pointed at that one person, at whom everyone is paying attention may be during presentation or at dinner table. How much work space along with personal space you have been provided for example your manager gets a separate room facing the window from where he /she can look at everyone working. Ever wondered why you have a say or two while watching your favorite show on TV? or a movie ? Ever wondered why only that particular person is allowed to sit on one chair fac...

Familiarity or Mystery ?

Image
  Yesterday I read an article about relationships. Then One question popped in my head and I guess many of you might be asking yourselves ‘ Is familiarity or mystery make a relationship last ’?                                               Marriage is what our society considers an ideal living fantasy where two people want to live with each other and produce progeny with the maximum survival rates . Well, it is practical too as our ancestors way back centuries did everything from hunting, living in caves, etc. just to make sure they survive and reproduce. This crude thought is now changed to a more sophisticated one but the purpose behind it remains the same. Most of us are getting married and then reproducing and doing jobs, building homes and eating good food, etc. just to make sure our survival and thereby the survival of our progeny.      ...
