Get People Smart for Better Family Communications Ever hear of Social Intelligence? It can strengthen your relationships, improve your com-munication skills, and maybe- just maybe- help you figure out what’s going on inside your teen’s head! Here is some insight on how to tap into this powerful emotional tool. Social Intelligence (SI) is the ability to recognize other people’s emotions and to use this intel to navigate relationships. It is closely related to emotional intelligence (sometimes abbreviated EQ or EI) which involves being in touch with your own feelings as well as other people’s. SI skills help most interactions, whether in-person, such as interaction with a grumpy clerk in “Customer Service” when returning an item, or virtual, like how to word an email to a touchy coworker. It is a little scary but there is a program that analyzes the “tone” of your email just in case you are not picking up on it. Different parts of the brain control our “filter” that keeps us from hurting others’ feelings or generates appropriate emotional responses to doing something good or bad. Another part of the brain produces “mirror neurons” which actually transmit a mimicking response, like wincing when some else stubs her toe. In other words, attitudes are contagious. That begs the question,” Is yours worth catching?” You might think, “Why bother?” SI plays a pivotal role in your health! Numerous studies have shown that people who are socially connected are happier, have lower blood pressure, are less susceptible to colds, and even outlive their more isolated peers due to a decrease in stress that results from SI. An increase in cortisol, which wreaks havoc with your health, is produced as a result of the stress of being pulled in different directions when you don’t have the ability to read the signs of what is going on around you. The signs of too much cortisol may be seen as weight gain, digestive issues, or a suppressed immune system. This is one more reason why empathy is so valuable. Another reason to increase your SI is that it just may be the secret ingredient to career suc-cess, too! It can give you an edge in networking, leadership skills, and team cooperation leading to higher income. Even though SI can be used with bad motives, as in the case of a narcissist’s manipulation, that person will eventually have his/her cover blown, and in the long term, the one with trust, goodwill, and a history of beneficence will win the day. Some are born with ample SI, but most others develop it. Some may have an advantage based on how they were raised, depending on whether they were told to suppress their emotions and not cry, or given permission or even encouraged to feel their feelings. There also seems to be an inverse correlation between screen time and the ability to read people. One more reason to limit electronics! Not everyone is a self-improvement junkie, and this is a busy month with a lot of demands. However, there is no better time to build better family relationships, and this is a great time and place to start Empowered Living!
