Whether you have a solid understand of your emotions; if you are connected to what’s happening and what you are feeling
Describe self-expression; what does it allow you to do
Good self-expression allows you to communicate and express your emotions
Describe interpersonal
If you can communicate your emotions and what you are feeling, you are more likely to be able to balance your relationships. It’s hard to develop healthy balanced relationships if you don’t balance your emotions very well
Describe decision making
When you have established healthy balanced relationships, that provides you with a network. Those relationships are a resource; they provide you with information, and they are your sound board. When you have those relationships in place, you improve your decision making because you improve your confidence in your decisions when you have more information to draw on
