In the morning: “How am I feeling?”
In the evening: “What emotions did I feel today? What caused them?”
In a conflict: “What am I feeling? What might the other person be feeling?”
Read books on psychology, watch films with deep characters, keep a diary of emotions. This expands your “emotional vocabulary.”

Don’t be afraid of vulnerability. Admitting weakness is not a sign of weakness, but a manifestation of strength. When you say: “I’m having a hard time,” you open up space for support.

Emotional intelligence is the foundation of mature relationships. It helps avoid conflicts, build trust, and be real.

And finally, remember: emotions are not enemies, but allies. They indicate what is important, what is needed, what is broken. The better you understand them, the freer you live.
