In this episode, we’re exploring three foundational skills that fuel emotional intelligence: self-reflection, self-awareness, and self-regulation.
These aren’t just buzzwords. When practiced, they can transform the way you handle challenges, relationships, and even your sense of self.
Here’s what we’ll cover in this episode:
The five components of emotional intelligence and why the first two—self-awareness and self-regulation—are essential.
What self-reflection really means (and what it’s not).
How self-awareness helps you recognize emotions in the moment.
The role of self-regulation in choosing thoughtful responses over impulsive reactions.
How these three skills work together like a cycle to build resilience, stronger relationships, and better decision-making.
Practical strategies you can start today: journaling, mindfulness, feedback, stress management, and “if/then” plans.
Think of it this way:
Self-reflection = GPS check
Self-awareness = your dashboard
Self-regulation = your driving skills
Together, they form the foundation of emotional intelligence, guiding you safely toward the life you want with more clarity, confidence, and compassion.
