It's like your to-do list is a hydra – chop off one head, and two more grow back. But what if I told you there's a way to tame that beast?

So, I decided to create my own little meditation haven right at home.

And guess what? It's not nearly as complicated (or expensive) as I thought. Here's how I did it, and how you can too.

We all know that meditation is good for reducing stress and improving mental well-being. But did you know that it can also have a profound impact on your cardiovascular health?

🧘‍♀️❤️ Recent studies have shown that regular meditation practice can significantly lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease, and even improve outcomes for those who have already experienced a cardiac event.

Pretty mind-blowing, right?

I'm no emotions expert. Most days, I'm just trying to figure out why I'm suddenly crying over a dog food commercial or raging at my printer for having the audacity to run out of ink.

But in my stumbling journey towards something resembling emotional maturity, I've discovered that there are apps out there claiming to boost our emotional intelligence (EQ).

Let's face it: we're all just trying to figure out how to adult properly. And somewhere along the way, someone decided that being emotionally intelligent was a crucial part of that. But here's the kicker – now there are certifications for it.

😅Yep, you read that right.

Emotional intelligence certification programs are a thing, and I'm here to break them down for you. Not because I'm an expert, mind you, but because I've spent way too much time researching this stuff instead of actually working on my own emotional intelligence.

Well, I'm not some self-improvement wizard. I'm just a regular person trying to figure out how to adult without completely losing it. But when I heard about Yale's popular emotional intelligence course, I thought, "Hey, why not? Maybe I'll learn how to stop ugly-crying during car commercials."

So, I dove in headfirst. Here's my utterly non-expert review of Yale's emotional intelligence course.

You know that feeling when you're trying to express yourself and your brain decides to take an impromptu vacation?

Yeah, welcome to my world. I'm not some fancy communication expert or emotional savant. I'm just an average spirit who's spent an embarrassing amount of time putting my foot in my mouth. But hey, all that awkwardness hasn't been for nothing!

I've picked up a few tricks along the way that have actually helped me become slightly less of a social disaster. So, grab a seat and let's dive into this totally unqualified guide to emotional intelligence and communication skills.

Spoiler alert: it involves a lot of cringe-worthy moments and self-deprecating humor.

Alright, let's get one thing straight: I'm no expert on emotional intelligence. Heck, half the time I can barely figure out if I'm hungry or just bored. But I've stumbled upon some interesting self-assessment tools that claim to measure emotional intelligence, and I thought, "Why not share my awkward journey of self-discovery?"

🦒Get ready, because we're about to plunge headfirst into the wild world of emotional intelligence assessment, and I promise it'll be about as graceful as a giraffe on roller skates.

Look, I'm not some child psychology expert or a perfect parent. I'm just a regular mom trying to figure out this whole parenting thing, much like you. But I've stumbled upon some strategies that have actually worked in developing emotional intelligence in my kids, and I thought, "Why not share this stuff?" So here we go, my utterly non-expert guide to raising emotionally intelligent children (or at least trying to).
