When an emergency occurs, our mind has no time to think and simply acts. Past and future are mere projections of our minds that scare us ~ Eckhart Tolle
Overcommitment can be as serious an obstacle to change as believing that you don't need fixing or that your flaws are part of the reason you're successful.
Empathic accuracy: Beyond feeling, you can engage your thinking brain to make sense of their feelings and maybe even predict what they will say or do.
Social cognition: Mastering unspoken social rules, you can read the room and understand how to behave in a particular situation
Daniel Goleman suggests that social intelligence consists of two elements — social awareness and social facility.
Social awareness is a range of skills from discerning what others are feeling to fine-tuning behavior in complicated social situations.
To be more specific, social awareness includes:
• Primal empathy: Activating mirror neurons, you can sense the emotions and moods of others.
• Attunement: By paying attention to a person, you can better understand their feelings and thoughts.
