Are you grateful? Do you realize how high emotional intelligence impacts gratitude? Do you care? I mean, do you really care--about others? 

Everything in life is a gift and gratitude is the appropriate response. 

Cultivating gratitude is important to our emotional intelligence because it increases emotional awareness and self-regulation. Expressing gratitude is not just good for us, it's good for others, something Kevin Monroe reminded me of on The UNFLTRD Podcast. 

🙏🏽When we show gratitude to others, we in turn increase our own sense of gratitude. 

🙏🏽We transform into more inspiring humans, better partners, stronger leaders. 

🙏🏽We learn to tame our monkey mind and expel the toxic thoughts and feelings that come from information overload. 

🙏🏽We reclaim our focus, manage our energy better, increase our well-being and decrease narcissistic behaviours 

🙏🏽 We nurture a positive outlook towards life, become more emotionally supportive of others, kind and compassionate 

Now that’s something to be grateful for!
