are feeling on the insides? For instance, when I get nervous I start to
get hot and maybe sweat. Even if I did not recognize how nervous I
was, sweating is a physical indicator of how I actually feel. Noting
these different physical characteristics will also help to identify how
you feel emotionally. The third secret is figuring out if you know how to
handle stress. When you are stressed can you handle it or does it
overtake you? This is the concept of self-management or regulation,
knowing how to deal or cope with your feelings. These three secrets of

provided in this unit in my portfolio to take with me after I graduate. I
have already found myself trying to understand my emotions more in
day-to-day life. Emotional intelligence goes beyond the professional
workplace and can be applied in all areas of your life. As Dr. Adler says
in his video, When we feel good about ourselves, we have more to
give to others.
