There are many ways or tools to use that help us to be in a better mood. One way is visualization where a person closes his or her eyes and imagines doing the thing intended to do before actually doing it; for example, imagine finishing the steps of a big project successfully! Visualization, according to many studies, is a powerful technique that changes moods, facilitates learning, and is helpful for all kinds of tasks. Another way is to move your body as in dancing with a song, stretching, or even just playing a song in the classroom for a short time. In addition, giving positive support is important that is, through ovations, gratitude, and acknowledgements. Moreover, a research study was done in Hiroshima university, proving that "viewing cute images promotes careful behavior and narrows attentional focus". According to the study, people did better on tasks requiring careful attention after they looked at cute images of kittens, possibly due to a "cuteness-triggered" positive emotion. Eventually the previous techniques are only some of the many effective ways to improve EQ in a classroom.

Nice topic! A lot of times we do this to improve our own EQ and students' EQ as well, but sometimes we just do things spontaneously not paying attention that there is a technique or a theory for them. We use visualization a lot in our lives, we need to let students use it, too.
I watch this webinar and i learn from it a lot about how the emotional on the class is important.Once the students becomes on the mood, the process of learning will be facilitated and easily for the students to understand and engage and for the teacher to explain and helps the students.
