What is emotion.
Emotions play a vital role in our daily lives, acting as an internal compass that guides our thoughts, actions, and decisions. They allow us to experience the many facets of human life with depth and understanding; shaping our perceptions and interactions. By staying attuned to them, we gain insight into our motivations and behaviours, fostering personal growth and emotional resilience. Emotions impact our relationships and overall wellbeing, making them an essential component of the human experience.
Emotional awareness.
By naming our emotions, we increase our awareness of them, which helps us process them more effectively. This heightened awareness enables us to mentally prepare for social interactions and manage our automatic reactions, enhancing the quality of our personal and professional relationships. When we can identify our emotions in real-time, we can adjust our responses to be more adaptable in any social situation, resulting in more moments of presence and clarity.
