Looking for Islamic Guidance to Enhance Emotional Intelligence

Assalamualaikum everyone, I've come to realize I often struggle with emotional intelligence, and while I could point to reasons like my background or personal habits, that doesn't really fix things. Even after reading up on tips and trying to apply them, I keep falling short or sometimes even making matters worse. So, I'm wondering if there are Islamic approaches to boosting EQ? I really want to follow the Prophet's example in how he interacted with others, but knowing what to do and actually doing it feels tough sometimes. Allahumma barik, I'd appreciate any advice-this has unintentionally strained several relationships for me. Jazakallah khair for your time and help.
