    Lesson 8: Emotional
    Intelligence
    Emotion
    Emotion is your reaction to any stimulus and comes from your limbic
    system, the area in your brain that reacts automatically to the world
    around you without your rational thought or reasoning (Hasson, 2012).
    All emotions have reasons as to why you feel them. Emotions include

    Three aspects or components:


    • Cognitive,
    • Physical,
    • Behavioral .
    Three aspects or components of
    Emotions:
    1.Cognitive component refers to the person’s appraisal of the
    situation. So, when you interpret an experience as threatening,
    negative emotions such as Fear, anger, or anxiety may be felt.
    2.Physical component is the body’s reaction to feelings or emotions.
    When you are anxious, your heartbeat becomes faster, or you may
    even experience fainting.
    3.Behavioral component is the action tendency to deal with certain
    emotions such as evading a frightening situation or leaving
    unfinished tasks because of boredom.
    Emotions are measured
    through:
     Self-report instruments or psychological tests.
     They can also be measured through physiological ways such as
    monitoring blood pressure, heart beat, sweating of palms, and even
    through blood chemistry and brain activities.
     Emotions are measured through behavioral manifestations such as
    facial expressions and tone of the voice.
    To illustrate, you do not talk to people when you are angry, or you
    leave unfinished tasks when you are bored.
    There are different types of emotions:
     Positive emotions may help you become more
    motivated in doing your tasks; they may even
    develop your creativity or establish harmonious
    relationships, with others. Positive emotions are also
    associated with good physical and psychological
    conditions. Some of the positive emotions are
    happiness, love, joy, hope, and excitement.
     Negative emotions, such as anger, rage, boredom,
    and disgust, may reduce your efficiency and even
    your motivation to perform certain tasks. However,
    when emotions are too strong and we lose control of
    handling our feelings, our thoughts and even our
    actions are affected. Thus, we must know how to
    manage our emotions.
    • Your emotions tell you when something is wrong. When you feel that something is not right,
    listen to your body. Your intuition we may be guiding you on what to do in a particular situation.
    • More so, your emotions allow you to maintain and develop your relationships into meaningful
    ones. Emotions that we usually call negative, such as shame, guilt, and pride, allow us to realize
    that we have done our friends wrong and that we need to make amends. Positive emotions, on the
    other hand, such as feeling accepted or understood, warm our hearts and make us value our
    relationships. Such emotions enable us to respond lovingly and supportively.
    • Hence, emotions are important because they create in us the
    opportunities to see things meaningfully. We see purpose in our
    lives and become more capable of making and implementing choices.
    • Finally, your emotions bring out your feelings of self-respect
    and self-worth. The more that you feel good about yourself,
    the more open you are in experiencing the marvels and challenges
    of life. In doing so, you allow yourself to realize your potentials to
    the fullest. And so, you let yourself be you and celebrate your emotions.
    Managing Emotions
    Celebrating your emotions is important. However, there is no point in
    celebrating them if we do not know how to manage them well. Hence, dealing
    with emotions is important in life. Emotions are so powerful—they can make
    or break an individual.

     notice and be aware of your emotions.


     identify and name what you feel.
     owning and accepting what you feel.
     discernment and appropriation.
     take the appropriate action or steps.
    The Nature and Importance of
    Emotional Intelligence
    Emotional intelligence is the capacity to
    understand and manage emotions. According to
    Daniel Goleman, one of the proponents of
    emotional intelligence, emotional intelligence
    includes the individual's ability to motivate oneself
    despite frustrations, the capacity to control
    impulses, and the ability to empathize with others.
    Thus, an emotionally intelligent person is not only
    capable of recognizing his or her feelings but is also
    competent in identifying how various emotions
    affect him or her.
    TO BE EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT, YOU
    NEED TO KNOW
    HOW TO: identify, understand, use, and
    manage your emotions (Hasson, 2012).
     Identifying an emotion simply means naming or describing it. This, however,
    involves identifying the biological, cognitive, and behavioral makeup.
    • Identification includes:
     how your body reacts to the cause (e.g., heart pounding, hands sweating,
    changing tone of your voice). Being keen to bodily manifestations will allow
    you to determine the intensity of how you feel the emotion.
     Also, you need to know what your thoughts are that triggered the emotion or
    vice versa.
     You need to determine how you express your emotion, how often do you feel it,
    how you express it, and what its consequences are, so that you may know how
    appropriate you have emotionally responded to a situation.
    Understanding emotions means making sense and meaning of
    what you feel. To do so, you need to know the reason that you feel
    the emotion. What specific need you want to satisfy or what
    motivates you to feel it
    Using your emotions means drawing on your emotions to direct
    your actions, make decisions, and work with your reason to your
    advantage. In doing so, you may create your mood. Your mood is
    different from your emotions, but it is relative to what you feel
    about your present situation.
    Finally, Managing what you feel does not mean controlling it by
    dominating or suppressing it. Rather, managing your emotions
    entails skill and flexibility to do so.
    Emotional
    Well-being
    is attained only through knowing how to
    manage your emotions and not by
    ignoring the “negative” ones; rather, it is
    by knowing that all emotions have
    positive intent and may be used to your
    advantage.
    DOMINICAN BLESSING
    May God the Father bless us. May God the Son heal us.
    May the Holy Spirit enlighten us and give us eyes to see
    with, ears to hear with, and hands to do the work of God
    with, feet to walk with, and a mouth to preach the word of
    salvation with, and the angel of peace to watch over us
    and lead us at last, by our Lord’s gift, to the kingdom.
    Amen.
