Growing in Self-Awareness as a Follower of Jesus

Emotional intelligence is “your ability to recognize and understand emotions in yourself and others, and your skill at using this awareness to manage yourself and your relationships.” By growing in emotional intelligence, we are able to better understand who we are as people and how God created us, and we can use this knowledge to become more devoted followers of Jesus. Self-awareness is a critical component of Emotional Intelligence, and by becoming more self-aware we can grow in our ability to exercise self-control and to love our neighbors as ourselves.
