CHAPTER 2

EQ Building Blocks: Connect
Your Thoughts, Feelings, and
Behaviors

In the last chapter, you learned that your EQ is not a static number. You can change it. But exactly how does this change occur? It starts in the brain. By reflecting on the connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, you grow your neural circuitry. You can then change your thoughts and behaviors in service of your goals and desired outcomes. In this chapter, you will learn how to challenge your thoughts or try on behaviors to affect change in your emotions and in your ongoing actions.
