Famous Quotes & Sayings

Deepak Chopra

Emotional intelligence grows through perception. Look around at your present situation and observe it through the level of feeling.

Deepak Chopra

Listen to your body's wisdom, which expresses itself through signals of comfort and discomfort. When choosing a certain behavior, ask your body, "How do you feel about this?"

So for me I think it would just be the emotional part of it.
