Mental Health and well-being have always been important, and since the Pandemic they have become mainstream conversation.

As practitioners, we know that lack of mental health and emotional well-being is a by-product of other dynamics and stressors in our life and context – relational breakdowns, overwork, financial strain etc. These ‘inputs’ undermine our well-being. But the opposite is also true: well-being itself is the outcome of other inputs.

Fitness, for example, is a by-product of the input of exercise; health is a by-product of a strong immune system, which itself is the outcome of nutrition. So if mental health and emotional well-being are by-products, then what inputs their fruit?

Chief among these inputs is Emotional Intelligence (EQ), the set of psycho-social skills that help us manage ourselves and others better.

Each emotion acts as an ’emotional signpost,’ giving us information from our experiences and communicating something that we need to become better at understanding and processing. Because of this, emotions are not something to solve or to avoid.  In order to achieve long-lasting and sustainable well-being, it is crucial that we develop the emotional competencies of EQ that will help us respond adaptively (in a healthy and appropriate way) to the information that our emotions are trying to communicate. 

At Mygrow we are on a mission to build an Emotionally Intelligent world.
