Emotional intelligence

I know that many of us have been around certain people that we automatically want to spend the rest of the day with. They are charming, attractive, they keep us engaged, while with some others, we just want to find the next available opportunity to excuse ourselves from them.
"What is it that the first set of people are doing differently from the second group of people? Are comfortable with themselves? Are they away of what they are feeling?"
You can guess the answer as much as i can. They are very much aware of how they feel and also are able to gauge the emotions of others around them .One can say that they are emotionally intelligent.
So then, what is emotional intelligence?

Emotional intelligence is having the ability to identify and manage not just your own emotions, but the emotions of others around you. For you to be able to fully appreciate emotional intelligence, you need to make conscious effort to recognise how you are feeling at every point in time. You also need to appreciate the way others are feeling around you, having at the back of your mind that you may or may not be the cause of their action or behaviour at that point in time.

You may argue that this may be difficult owing to the fact that we are always distracted by our activities or engagements.
I have been practising emotional intelligence for sometime now, and this is the technique i use:

From time to time, I ask myself " How am i feeling? or how are you feeling?
This has helped me a lot to gauge most situation and access if i am in the right frame of mind for an activity or a venture or if the people i am engaging with will be receptive or defensive.
