A few days ago, I had the deepest conversation I've had with my sister in years, following the Equanima guidelines, and we're at level 2/20. I love it! The app, and also the cards

I didn’t realize how close I was to burnout until Equanima helped me notice the signals I kept ignoring. By tracking my emotions and patterns, I started to see where my energy was draining. Now I set small daily goals that help me check in with myself and understand what I truly need. It’s been a simple but powerful shift in how I care for myself.

It's really encouraging to see so many people connecting with the idea of emotional intelligence, and these comments truly highlight its impact. The stories about recognizing burnout and having deeper conversations really resonate. It makes me think about how often we overlook our emotional well-being until it becomes a problem. Tools like Equanima seem to offer a practical way to build those crucial skills, making EQ less of an abstract concept and more of a daily practice. It's a positive step towards a more self-aware and resilient community, both personally and professionally

Loved this read. It's refreshing to see emotional intelligence treated as essential, not optional. At Equanima, we’re excited to be part of this movement, building tools that support deeper self-awareness and connection. Looking forward to where this shift leads.

I love how this reframes emotional intelligence as essential, not optional. The more I practice EQ, the more I see shifts in my relationships and work.
