Emotional stability

The five components of emotional intelligence are: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills.

Emotional stability refers to an individual's ability to manage and express their emotions in a healthy, constructive and appropriate way, even when faced with stressful or challenging situations. It's about maintaining a sense of inner emotional balance and composure, rather than merely suppressing or denying their emotions. Individuals with emotional stability tend to be mentally tough, psychologically resilient, adaptable, and able to handle life's ups and downs with a more optimal, balanced and realistic perspective.

Cognitive therapy is a form of psychotherapy, developed by Dr. Aaron T. Beck, that emphasizes the important role of thinking in how we feel and what we do. Also called cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), it is "based on the idea that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors, not external things, like people, situations, and events."
