EQ is that part of Emotional Intelligence that allows you to use both sides of your brain. You are born with a fixed IQ (a left-brain function) that basically does not change throughout your life. The ability to use the right side of your brain can be learned and developed.

Being self-empowered is something that you were NOT born with. It is something that you learned. Throughout your life, there are many opportunities to learn the beliefs that are necessary to raise your emotional intelligence. However, you also have opportunities to learn beliefs that are destructive and self-limiting.

There are five beliefs you will need to have incorporated into your life to be self-empowered.
