Emotional intelligence comes with five different components:

● Self-Awareness

● Self-Regulation

● Motivation

● Empathy

● Social Skills

Emotional intelligence is not about how we feel or what emotion we are experiencing at a given time but more about how we respond to our emotions and learning how to control them. Not all emotions need to be controlled but part of learning emotional intelligence is when we can focus on learning the right times and situations to control our emotions.

People who develop or improve self-motivation skills gain motivation internally rather than externally.
