Emotional Development
Emotion is any agitation or disturbance of mind, feeling, passion, or any vehement or excited mental state. There are hundreds of emotions with their blends and variations.
Distortions Within
• Anger – Fury, outrage, animosity, irritability, etc.
• Sadness – Sorrow, grief, gloom, loneliness, dejection, etc.
• Fear – Anxiety, concern, edginess, terror, etc.
• Enjoyment – Happiness, relief, thrill, rapture, satisfaction, etc.
• Love – Acceptance, trust, kindness, devotion, etc.
• Surprise – Shock, amazement, wonder, etc.
Aspects to Develop / Enhance
1. Self-Awareness – Observing yourself; building a vocabulary for feelings.
2. Personal Decision-Making – Examining your actions and knowing their consequences.
3. Managing Self – Finding ways to handle fears, anxieties, and sadness.
4. Handling Stress – Value of exercise, guided imagery, relaxation, etc.
5. Empathy – Understanding others' feelings and appreciating the differences.
6. Self-Acceptance – Seeing yourself in a positive light; being able to laugh at yourself at times.
7. Personal Responsibility – Recognizing the consequences of your actions and decisions.
8. Assertiveness – Stating your concerns and feelings without anger or passivity.
9. Group Dynamics – Cooperation, how to lead, and when to follow.
Some Useful Tips
• Prayer/meditation helps unburden many emotional imbalances.
• Cultivate the taste for watching nature.
• Listen to good music.
• Develop positive emotions like love, respect, kindness, etc.
• Avoid negative emotions like anger, jealousy, guilt, fear, worry, ego, inferiority, greed, etc.
• Stop complaining. Instead of blaming darkness everywhere, light a candle if you can.
• Stop blaming; instead, take action.
• Do all that you possibly can.
• Never Quit – ANTS never quit.
- If they are headed somewhere and you try to stop them, they will look for another way.
- They will climb over, they will climb under, and they will climb around.
- They keep looking for another way.
- The lesson is: Never quit looking for a way until you get to where you have aimed to go.
• How much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter?
• Avoid:
- Criticizing
- Complaining
- Comparing
- Competing (in a healthy way)
