Hello again. In these posts I want to continue commenting on how to be competent on an emotional level, since it is a basic issue for emotional well-being. In the previous post, I talked about the five skills to have. Today I want to comment on the first one, and in the following posts the rest, in order to develop your emotional well-being, do you think?
The first competition is self-awareness.
I define first: Emotional self-awareness is the ability to recognize one's own emotions, sensations, states and internal resources. Easy, right? It is not usually, since we are not usually educated for it. And it is very important to know how to recognize your emotions, states and resources.
Self-awareness, from my point of view, has two parts, the first is to recognize your emotions and the second your states and resources. For the first, that of emotions, the first thing is to know them. Know which ones, something that I have already talked about in previous posts. Then, since you know what the basic ones are, it is good when you feel something, stop and identify what you feel and what is behind those emotions, ask yourself why you have them, how do you interact with them, and how your thoughts, your emotions are related. and your behavior. How they affect your life ...
For this it is good that you sit down for a while and write what you feel, why… what emotions tell you, what is positive and what is negative, what do you want to do about them…. And find out what is behind them, what you think about the situation that causes that feeling,… .how do you feel when you feel that, how do you act…. And without judging. Write as it comes out, and then you read it. It's a good way to meet you. In the following post I will continue talking about the subject. But in the meantime, I would love to read you here or through my email, mariarivescoach@gmail.com and I am delighted to accompany you on your journey of emotional well-being
