My Emotional Analysis

I find it interesting to observe how others deal with their emotions because everyone handles it differently. I believe I am very self-aware because I am open with how I feel and reflect on my own emotions. I recognize when I am in a bad mood, when I overreact, when I am lonely, and when I need to change my behavior. Sometimes I can get very passionate about a topic or get frustrated when I feel someone is not recognizing my point. However, over the years I have started to realize when I am being too sensitive and need to get passed the conversation. I know that I can be sensitive so I am consciously trying to change the way I react to others and let things go. Additionally, I also know what helps or calms me down when I’m stressed about a big decision or overwhelmed by

I disagree with Lauren Slater’s theory that throughout a person's life, one will only surround themselves with ideas and people similar to their own because, it is easy to see that people enjoy controversy and over the course of our lives, our beliefs and ideas can change.

Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to manage emotions of yourself or others. It is very useful in any situations and having a lot of it is very good but there is a dark side. That is because EQ is like a double-edged sword. For instance, a person is crying and someone comes over and helps. The person that came is able to recognize and determine what to do. Furthermore, during an interview with Dan Goleman, “Godfather of Emotional Intelligence”, there was a highschool reunion and out of the group the most successful man wasn’t the smartest but the best one that

“I promise to live with you and laugh with you; to stand by your side, and to sleep in your arms; to be joy to your heart, and food for your soul; to always make you, you”(Spelling 242).When you are a kid, you don't worry about what anyone thinks. Stori Telling, an autobiography of Tori Spelling, is a hilarious autobiography about her over-the-top first wedding to finding new love to her much-publicized -- and misunderstood -- “disinheritance,” and how she makes wrong decisions in her life, and will blame others for the unhappiness in her life but it seems like most of her unhappiness is self-created and self-perpetuated.

Name one arena (a relationship, a situation, etc.) that you feel you need to grow in the most in terms of managing your difficult emotions? Which part of the suggestions for dealing with difficult emotions seem most helpful and applicable for you in this arena? What’s one thing you will try to

Ben Fowlkes explores the changes in a person’s demeanor following major events in the story “You’ll Apologize If You Have To”; the title establishes a motif that supports this idea. In the beginning, Wallace refuses to apologize to the man for smoking, choosing instead to merely “agree that you made your point and I learned my lesson”, though even that feels more like appeasement rather than understanding (20). Wallace also does not apologize to Kim or Molly for not showing up on Saturday, instead evading the accusation by saying “about that” and providing a perfunctory explanation (22). This particular interaction highlights the lack of apology to people in his life who he may be most responsible to in comparison to the other characters like

Feminism is an interesting topic. It is about empowering women so that they can be seen as equals to men. It is a movement that many ignore because they do not believe in what the movement entails. Yet, is it that they do not believe in this movement or rather that they do not understand what the movement is.

According to the Emotional Assessment/ Personality Test, my greatest personality strength was good reliability. I would have to say that being reliable is one of my greatest strengths. When I say I will do something, it will get done. I like being held accountable for my actions, and never like letting someone down. Therefore, I am very reliable. Being a reliable person in the workforce, or in life has perks. When someone is a reliable person, it lets others know that they can count on you to get things done. In the workforce, being such a reliable person can eventually lead to promotions. I work at a daycare/ Pre-K school, and we always have teachers to call out. The directors always call me, because they know they can rely on me to be there. The directors have sat me down in their office to discuss making me a director as well; therefore, being a reliable person can most definitely have its perks. Being a reliable person that someone can always count, is

This is a double standard though, because when they don't express their emotions like they're expected to, then they are cruel. Although, I personally think that it can be extremely beneficial to be in touch with your emotions, it makes communication easier and more efficient a vast majority of the time. I am a very analytical person, so I tend to struggle to connect with other people, whereas some of my friends that are very in tune with their emotions can connect to pretty much everyone on a deeper level. That just seems to make it

Emotional flexibility is most important to me because I have been told by supervisors, peers and subordinates that I have a stone or poker face while on duty. While appearing to be emotionless may be seen as a strength to some, it can also be a weakness depending on the situation. For instance, an

Frances Stark is a contemporary artist based in Los Angeles who uses digital media to portray the notions of feminism, identity, and sexuality. Her two video works, My Best Thing (2011) and Osservate, leggete con me (2012) are heavily influenced by the principles of Conceptualism. My Best Thing and Osservate, leggete con me argue for women’s empowerment through anonymity and the freedom to express beliefs in cyberspace. In her videos, Stark combines the intimate messages between herself and various men from the internet with audio and/or simulated images and voices. Her video works suggest that she is searching for her

I am very understanding of people’s emotional turmoil as I work in retail leading me to be around people that are on their excellent and dreadful days. I also have friends, that instead of hiring someone, they come to me as I listen without judgment and give guidance that they later thank me for. As I became Dr. Phil to my friends, their friends have started to come to me and just talk wanting someone to listen to them. I am ready to help everyone who needs it from mentally, to emotional, to physically, devoting my time and effort into helping patients feel at ease and develop a bond that gets them to understand that I am there for them and only them. I have been left in dire positions where I had to ask for outside help for friends who needed

Any argument can be stronger with a tug at your heart strings. Chapter 2 discusses how emotional arguments work and how to use humor in emotional arguments. Although, when using humor be careful, because bad humor can make you look bad as a writer. Emotional Appeals are strong tools for influencing what people think and believe because images, words, and sounds can stir up emotions. A strong emotion can add energy to any written passage, just like how a weak emotion can turn off a reader. A lot of things come together to make pathos a very powerful thing to use in arguments since people are easily affected by emotion.

Emotional Intelligence is defined as a ‘type of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one’s own and other’s emotions, to discriminate among them and to use the information to guide one’s thinking and actions’ (Salovey and Mayer, 1990: 189). According to Goleman (2001), ‘emotional intelligence comprises of 4 key components which are, Self

In the confinements of my mind, I deny my feelings. It’s a coping strategy that I mistakenly think is healthy and is the right thing to do. At the age of 22 I’m starting to feel the effects of abandoning my emotions. I’m scared to express how I am feeling without others judging me. I find myself wondering exactly when I outgrew emotional bravery. Maybe it got lost somewhere in junior high amidst social anxieties and trying to fit in. I’ve adjusted my expectations, avoiding the hard, the different, and the vulnerable. I’ve learned tricks that closes the gap between reality and expectations just to make it a little easier. Who needs to express their emotions in a healthy manner? Those who are surrounded by me will get what I’m trying to say, right? Wrong. Katsunuma et al. (2015) refers emotional suppression to attempts to avoid or escape from experiencing and being aware of one’s own emotions. In the past, I’ve ran away from family issues, confrontations, and uncomfortable mannerism that should be addressed. By doing so, a chain reaction to every situation in my life, affects me emotionally, socially, and mentally. Research has shown how observation coping strategies promote positive psychological well-being because it plays an important role to help regulate emotions for those who prefer to detach themselves from their own states. For example, during the study, participants were asked to look at a negative emotional picture. Provided by the author, and was asked to remain
