Our emotions are good indicators of our stress level.If we are aware of our own emotions,we can identify the signs of unusually high stress earlier.Then we can take steps to relax or to control our emotions,and avoid further stress.For example,getting angry ten times in one single day at our team members,peers,or other people we interact with is most likely not a sign that they have suddenly become more annoying or incapable.It is more likely to be a sign that our level of stress has increased,and that our tolerance for anything that doesn’t go our way has decreased.
Selfmanagement,the second dimension of Emotional Intelligence,also helps decrease our stress.Selfmanagement is our ability to prevent the waves of our negative emotions from rising too high.An example of selfmanagement is keeping our sadness or anger from reaching an intensity when we cannot function and work normally,and when it can even be painful.
Such high emotional waves further escalate stress in two ways.First,stress is expanded by the feeling that we are “losing control”.And then it can be accompanied by guilt...and even more stress.Secondly,decisions we make during these emotional waves are usually not wellthought and usually bring us more trouble and more stress.For example,decisions we make during an period of anger can be expected to result in extra work to repair “additional damages”.
Social awareness,the third dimension of Emotional Intelligence decreases stress by reducing interpersonal conflicts in the workplace.One serious conflict with one of our team members or peers can eat up a large amount of our energy and result in a lot of stress.
