Explain the awareness you have of how emotions play into your decisions and actions.
I recognize my awareness through my emotions through stress and worry, thoughts and decisions, and behavior that play into my everyday decisions and actions that keep me self-contained socially and mentally. As my husband tells me I’m the most un-social person he knows. By knowing what my strengths and weakness are and who I want to become will help me to be better motivated and manage my stress, thoughts, and behavior better.
Describe your value level for emotions in your learning experience.
I would say my value level for emotions in my learning experience would be super high. I get upset easy and let things bother me especially if I get a bad grade or if I can’t figure out what it is I need to do and I know I’m going to fail. I’ve always been afraid to ask for help to afraid they would think I was stupid. I hate being a failure I try so hard at everything I do and I seem to still struggle or fail. I feel like I’ve been a failure my whole life and I really want to get out of this and move forward. Before the doctor put me on anxiety medicine I would set and cry all the time while setting in class at school it made me not want to go I was so embarrassed I couldn’t control my emotions, then as I started college it started again all these emotions came about and this is when I realized I needed help if I was going to get through college.

Daniel Goleman provides examples of individuals experiencing self-awareness at both work and in one’s life (Goleman, 2013). Being conscious of one’s inner world, beliefs, thoughts, and concepts are what comprise self-awareness. In one’s daily life there are situations, struggles, and trials which can impact sound judgement and resolution. Self-awareness helps the individual make healthy decisions and knowing when to ask for help to cope with an overwhelming issue. Also learning to grow through a limiting perspective to compromise with others and seek alternatives (Levine, 2013). Others may disagree with ones beliefs, decisions, and lifestyle, yet the individual can recognize feelings about those in disagreement with them and avoid unnecessary conflict. While in the work
Self-Awareness: This is a skill which is related to you. It is the ability to understand your emotions in various situations (Bradberry, T., & Greaves, J. 2009 Pg. 24). It is important to understand yourself first then only you will able to understand others.
People typically have all sorts of emotions depending on the situation. A time when someone's emotion rubbed off me was when I went to take my Comptia A+ certification test. This test was supposed to be a stepping stone towards my degree but when I got to the testing facility, all the confidence that I had seem to have evaporated into thin air the second I saw a couple of people walking out expressing how tough it was. The tears in their eyes, their shaky voice, and the people who they're with telling them that there's always next time. After seeing and hearing all of that, even I couldn't help but be emotional on how I was going to do. The good was is that the second the test started, my confidence came back as I remembered all those long
Self-awareness can be defined as the understanding of one’s own character and actions. By being self-aware, people can better understand their own circumstances and the circumstances of others. However, people are often unconsciously swayed towards making biased choices because they do not recognize external or internal factors that affect their decision making. By being self-aware of these various external and internal factors, people can make more accurate decisions regarding a scenario because they recognize the existence of these biases or factors. Furthermore, the ability to be self-aware indicates that an individual has a high capacity for empathy because they can understand other people’s situations, which is the definition of empathy.
As emphasized by Rifkin (2010), as humans we are “soft-wired” with mirror neurons, which makes us recipients of other’s people emotions and feelings as we observe them. Like Rifkin, I believe that we learn from observing and interacting with others. Moreover, our ability to judge and interpret one’s situation is a skill that develops from the time we are born as socialization begins.
The reading on emotions is was a good reminder to “read each other”. Having a conversation with two parties that are able to do this is ideal and leads to quicker resolutions and the ability to be creative in solutions. Sounds so easy, but any times this is not the case as one of the parties in the conversation can’t or don’t read the other emotions. From our perspective, we can help lead the conversations by knowing how we can be involved in bringing awareness to this need. And how we can ensure we are reflecting on what is being said and the feelings that are being brought into the conflict or conversation. Being able to bring a relationship into a difficult conversations, stating why the other persons has an impact and how their decisions and actions, will relate can help in opening up the other party to share in the

Having self awareness is a significant attribute to utilize when leading/managing others, interacting in social events and making personal decisions. Having the insight to distinguish your emotions, then using that knowledge to manage your behavior and relationships is being emotionally intelligent (Bradberry & Greaves, 2009). After using the Emotional Appraisal Instrument, I learned that self-awareness is my strongest emotional intelligence (EI) skill and my weakest EI skill is social awareness (TalentSmart, Inc., 2016).
