Emotional Intelligence and Acceptance

A critical first step in developing the ability to deal with differences is self-awareness in order to understand our reactions to others.This ongoing process involves reaching and maintaining a

comfort with one’s own identity, including an understanding of one’s values, passions, preferences,

and worldview. This introspection also involves becoming conscious of the biases, assumptions, and hot buttons that influence one’s attitudes toward others. Awareness precedes choice and change.Self understanding helps one to predict behavior through knowing what evokes a particular emotional reaction and behavioral response. This insight is fundamental to managing emotional reactions and behavior toward others.
