Inteligencia emocional y mindfulness; hacia un concepto integrado de la inteligencia emocional

Abstract

This article aims at integrating Mindfulness within the Emotional Intelligence (EI) context. On one hand, EI is focused on the way emotional information is processed, and Mindfulness represents a new way we relate to emotions, which main components are the focus on the present experience along with a curiosity and acceptance attitude. The integration of Mindfulness in the EI context may facilitate the proper focus, understanding and regulation of emotional states.
