“Emotions are what make us human. Make us real. The word 'emotion' stands for energy in motion. Be truthful about your emotions, and use your mind and emotions in your favor, not against yourself.” Robert T. Kiyosaki
In Heart intelligence we speak emotions: understanding and managing emotions, own and of the others.
What are emotions?
What is the difference between moods, feelings, and emotions?

Vitality Intelligence
There are many meanings attributed to vitality:
- having the capacity to live and grow, physically, mentally, and in strength
- energy and power
- feeling of aliveness
- approaching life with excitement and energy; not doing things halfway or halfheartedly; living life as an adventure; feeling alive and activated
One of our favorites is the sense given by Peterson and Seligman:
"A vital person is someone whose aliveness and spirit are expressed not only in personal productivity and activity - such individuals often infectiously energize those with whom they come into contact." (Peterson and Seligman, 2004, p. 273)
Our view on Vitality Intelligence is being aware and in balance with all aspects of our lives, being aware of our impact, being aware of the connections between us and the world we are living in. Being a whole person, connected with self and others.
In this intelligence area we are addressing the intrinsic motivation, life balance, tools and techniques for being more balanced (breathing techniques, meditation, and others), and wellbeing.
