September 2024 Mindwell Programs Focus on Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence, also known as EQ (emotional quotient), can be defined as the ability to experience and name our own emotions and those of others, and move productively forward.
Developing EQ requires a high level of inner awareness and calmness, helping us recognize emotions as personal messages filled with important information about ourselves and our interactions.
This month, Mindwell programs are designed to help you understand and manage your emotions and strengthening your EQ muscle.
