Personal Reflection

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

On 08/20/2017 at 1002 hours FTO Wheeler #4361 and I responded to St. Luke’s Hospital emergency room entrance, on 3555 Cesar Chavez St., regarding a women in a hospital gown trying to break the caller’s vehicle window with a brick. Officer Wheeler and I were in full police uniform driving a marked patrol unit when we responded.

Our parents raise us hoping for us to develop certain character traits, but there comes to a point when we start to become our own person based on the experiences we go through, any situation, good or bad, can influence our personality mentally and emotionally. Emotion is what makes us human, it's how we cope and how we manage our crazy lives’. When our feelings get damaged or even nourished, it will change how we react

Our emotions in many cases affect our perception of events as well as the actions that we take ourselves by permeating our way of thinking, and therefore affecting each thing that we do in that moment. In particular, emotions about the perception of ourselves have been shown to have both the ability to positively and negatively affect our actions and performances in life. This is what can be

In addition, dealing with emotions allows people to feel the emotions as they arise within each person. When a person feels angry, they should allow themselves to feel that anger, and vent it out in some form or the other, without causing any harm to others. Unlike Lady Macbeth starts to feeling angry, nervous, scared, and freaks out when she thinks and imagines the blood on her hands. She states, “O, proper stuff! This is the very painting of your fear. This is the air-drawn dagger which you said Led you to Duncan. O, these flaws and starts,

IQ tests are not the only way to measure intelligence. In fact, we make informal decisions about others’ intelligence all the time, even after short interactions. The ability to express and control our emotions is essential, but so is our ability to understand, interpret, and respond to the emotions of others. Psychologists refer to this ability as emotional intelligence, and some experts even suggest that it can be more important than IQ. Multiple intelligences represents different intellectual abilities (Edutopia, 2003).

In an anxious situation or during the time of conflict the most valuable thing one can do is remain in control of one’s own emotions. It is always important to remember that one cannot change anyone else; the only person that one can change is self. This can be incredibly difficult, particularly if one thinks the other party or people involved are being rude, thoughtless, unfair, and/or insensitive. But it is vital that one keeps cool, manage anxiety, and not meet anger

This paper talks about the times of when I had to struggle to keep my emotions in check from when I was constantly annoyed by either people or certain situations. These situations would be like the time when I would constantly run into a problem I could not easily accomplish or even the times when I would be constantly bullied for some unknown reason. Not sure why I would end up getting on someone's bad side since I mostly stay to myself not bothering anyone.

For example, if you notice that you are getting mad all the time, and try to find what is triggering that feeling. By doing this, you are enabling yourself to feel things, even though they may not be nice. You are also finding the thing that made you feel that way, and try fixing it for the better. If you are aware of your feelings and emotions, you can be a Moore calm and relaxed person. This can works very effectively when you are stressed out. Whether it's because of school, home, or after school issues, this can help you become more relaxed and

Emotional wellness is “the ability to be aware of and accept one’s feelings” (UCR, 2014). This dimension brings about positivity only when one is optimistic and continues to live and enjoy life regardless of the disappointments, frustrations, and challenges that come in the way. Paying attention to one’s thoughts, behaviors, and feelings, even though they are negative at times, is key to be able to handle and cope with stress and express emotions appropriately (GRCC, 2016). In order to obtain positive emotional wellness, one can also seek support that will help with appropriate emotional expressions and establish one’s priorities in life. I see myself as an optimistic and competent person. I feel that whenever I face challenges in my life, whether they are personal family problems or things related to school and my friends, I always tell myself that everything will be okay at the end and that thinking negatively and feeling depressed will not solve my problems. However, where I see a risk in my emotional wellness is that I tend to keep my emotions inside. I don’t

As blatant and obvious it may seem, the path to become a master of my own emotions related directly to my Interpersonal Communication book by Floyd. Most important, to begin this path I must listen and accept my internal emotions; this is imperative to master because if I don’t then I will be doomed to repeat my past mistakes. Once I listen to my emotions, then I need to recognize and identify the cause of my emotions. Once I successfully accomplish these steps, I can begin an emotional reappraisal, which is “giving rise to a negative emotion so that the effect of the emotion is diminished” (p. 270 Floyd). Identically, I can also use the concept “Reframing” which is not only emotionally reappraising but also altering the way I think about the negative situation, as well as, how I talk about my situation with others. Unfortunately, I have never truly shared my emotions due to the norm of the culture I am associated with. The norm is men are supposed to be emotionless and tough, while women are supposed to express more emotions and be soft. In contrast, reality and science prove that men and women share the same emotions. We all are equal on having the ability to feel the same emotions. The difference is how each person choses to manage their emotions. Upon learning of this, I decided to begin sharing more of my emotions with my girlfriend. Equally, I also learned that I

In our everyday lives, we are constantly interacting with other individuals. These interactions have an effect on our emotions. We have to learn how to identify and deal with these emotions because they have a direct effect on how we deal with issues at work. Individuals can work their way through this process by becoming aware of the importance of emotional intelligence.

Emotions No matter how hard you try, you cannot control your emotions, only attempt to hide them. Emotions influence every aspect of our lives, what we do, what we say, and et cetera. All of our emotions, from anger to insecurity, are influenced by several factors, just as our lives are influenced by our emotions (Gelinas, Emotions 35). First of all, it causes problems when one does not trust himself, and it shows up in many ways.

The writing I did this semester for Engl 110c has meant alot to me because I was able to pick a topic that has such a huge impact in my life. I was able to do the topic about Navy Wives, which has a huge impact on me. I recently became a navy wife a year ago and my life has changed drastically. I was able to share everything I wanted to about the life of a military wife through my writings, as well as share to my classmates about my topic. I really enjoyed creating my ePortfolio because I could come out of my shell and be me. I made a ePortfolio website that would be for military wives to read. I believe this website would be perfect for any military wife reading it. I was able to give tips and information on what it’s like to be a military wife, how to prepare for deployments and how to stay strong being a military wife.

This paper is aimed at evaluating my own emotional intelligence while subsequent parts of the paper will discuss how this emotional intelligence affects other aspects of human life like business, religion and politics. In this part of the paper, I will reflect on and demonstrate the skills and the knowledge needed to enable one to accurately see and understand the emotional strengths, weaknesses and nuances of other workers at the workplace.
