The \u201cclass clown\u201d may have been able to make everyone laugh but never taken seriously.\u00a0 At the end of the day, EQs are now regarded by academics as a much better indicator of a person\u2019s ability to handle stressful situations and crisis. If your relationships (with anyone, be it your family, your friends, your teachers, your neighbours)\u00a0 are strained in any way, this should be seen as an indication that your emotions are probably interfering with what could otherwise be a \u201cmanageable\u201d or potentially rewarding situation.\u00a0\u00a0<strong>To truly improve circumstances, speak to someone who has been there or is trained at helping others deal with such circumstances and take steps towards improving your life<\/strong>.\u00a0 After all, your life is yours.\u00a0 Nothing will improve until you commit to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Judy Wong<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Writer, Speaker and Lifestyle Coach<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your kid just dropped your phone into the bathtub full of water.&nbsp; What do you do?&nbsp;&nbsp; Your boss just criticized you for 20 minutes about your work product.&nbsp; What do you do?&nbsp; Your mom just called you to complain about how her television is not working.&nbsp; What do you do?&nbsp; Truth be told, what you&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":984,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-983","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-post","category-leadership"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.4.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Emotional mastery leads to more rewarding relationships - Destiny Research Institute (DRI) Hong Kong | The Legacy Blueprint\u2122<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"zh_HK\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Emotional mastery leads to more rewarding relationships - Destiny Research Institute (DRI) Hong Kong | The Legacy Blueprint\u2122\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Your kid just dropped your phone into the bathtub full of water.&nbsp; What do you do?&nbsp;&nbsp; Your boss just criticized you for 20 minutes about your work product.&nbsp; What do you do?&nbsp; Your mom just called you to complain about how her television is not working.&nbsp; What do you do?&nbsp; Truth be told, what you...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.oldsite.drihk.com\/zh\/emotional-mastery-leads-to-more-rewarding-relationships\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Destiny Research Institute (DRI) Hong Kong | The Legacy Blueprint\u2122\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-11-02T04:34:16+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-01-10T06:14:01+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.oldsite.drihk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/imgonline-com-ua-resize-JrFXxnawE58yM0ko.jpeg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"587\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"392\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 \u5206\u9418\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.oldsite.drihk.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.oldsite.drihk.com\/\",\"name\":\"Destiny Research Institute (DRI) Hong Kong | The Legacy Blueprint\u2122\",\"description\":\"Unlock the power of Family Congruence.
