5 Great Daily Habits That Increase Your Social Intelligence

Study Being Social.

There is a whole Master’s Degree surrounding this topic and it goes deep: Social Psychology.

Becoming more social is not a mystery anymore, there is a lot of research that has already been conducted and more information everywhere (Tip: Follow the money; I.e. Where is being more social monetarily valuable?)

Look up Books, find experts on the topic, ask people knowledgeable about social psychology and get as much information as you can.

The more information you have available at your fingertips, the more likely it will be that you can use this information, leading you to practice and develop your social intelligence.

Active Listening.

Active listening means that you give the person you are talking to your undivided attention.

That means you are not checking your phone and not thinking about any other things you need to do.

One of the best tricks that I have learned to practice my active listening was to think that what they tell me next will save millions of lives, is worth a billion dollars or that I have to give a Presentation that is streamed worldwide the next day on what they talked about.

If you assumed any of these you would, without a doubt, pay the utmost attention to what they said.

You would ask them whatever you are unsure of and get totally invested in everything they said.

This, in turn, will make people will want to talk to you more because you will make them feel like someone is actually listening, which you are.

Therapists all learn this to build trust with clients; it is a job requirement.

Learn from them and you will see that this drastically increases not only your social intelligence but also your empathy and all relationships.

Get Interested.

People that are able to motivate the masses, those that inspire and those that effectively communicate often get insanely interested in the task at hand.

It is this interest that can be developed through active listening, for unlike a therapist you can emotionally invest into the topic.

Imagine how much passion you would put into a conversation if you were talking to a toddler.

When they talk about their tea party, their imaginary friends and what they did that day, no matter how objectively wrong, weird or childish it may be, you still give that child your undivided attention and as much passion as you can muster.

Put a conscious effort to get interested in others, not only will you bring your undivided attention with you, but also some great energy that, almost magically, hooks others to you.

Happiness is not only addictive but also makes people gravitate towards you.

People Watching.

Observe. Watch. Take notes from the mistakes and success of others.

Then try it all out yourself.

The best way to learn more things is to watch and try it in real-life examples.

People are being social all around you, and some are better at it than others.

Look at what those other people do.

What do the charismatic people do? How do they act? What kind of questions do they ask? How are they able to motivate and lead? Why do all people listen to them? Why do they receive so much affection?

If you cannot watch others where you are then use your imagination and copy the people in it.

You likely already have a good idea what makes someone charismatic, a good leader or social.

Develop massive Certainty.

Become absolutely certain in what it is that you do.

Drop all the uncertainty and be sure you show that.

Most people will be attracted to Leaders, people that are sure off themselves and people that bring in an amazing energy.

Make one of those areas yours by being certain about what you do.

Even if you make a wrong choice, at least you made a choice.

That is the one characteristic that separates Leaders from Followers and will, again, draw other people in.

Leaders make Decisions, and stick with them.

Whereas Followers are unsure, avoid decisions and will discuss it over and over again before ever deciding on something.

The reason this makes such a difference is because many people want to live an easy life and do not want to take responsibility.

As such, if you can make a choice and become a fantastic leader you will be put into a position where you are forced to develop your social intelligence.
