Answer 1

Having positive emotions have proved to bring success in one's personal and professional life. People learn healthy ways to deal with stress and problems which strike their lives. They generally feel good about themselves. When a person is at peace with himself/herself their relationship get healthy too.

This brings us to the topic of emotional intelligence which is the ability to identify and regulate one's emotions and understand the emotions of others. A high EQ leads to stronger interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships both personally and professionally.

Generally friends, elders and family members are the main motivators behind making a person express emotions successfully. This is because they either act as role models themselves or have intimate position in the person's ;life, which drives him/her to express emotions successfully.

Negative emotions such as stress, anger, jealousy, sadness, etc gets difficult to communicate. In order to cope with this one requires self management. This is the ability to regulate one's emotions. It could be in the form of delaying response to highly stressful situations rather than impulsively reacting.

Also, empathy and good relationship management goes a long way in dealing with emotions and emotional conflicts.
