📖 The Heart's Power to Increase your Emotional Intelligence. An investigation into positive emotional refocusing.

This study of 100 9th grade students in a California school shows how positive emotional refocusing, using techniques developed by the Institute of HeartMath, significantly affects emotional intelligence and improves autonomic recovery from stress. Based on a controlled study that included helping students learn and practice emotional refocusing techniques, the results show that a bio-psychosocial model can greatly benefit all young people through improving performance and reducing the damaging effects of stress.
