Practice for self awareness:
Slow Down – Pay attention to your physical body, focus on what’s going on inside you.
The better you understand yourself; the better you can related to others.
Not “controlling” emotions but MANAGING emotions.
Emotions are contagious and happen quickly (chain re-action)
Sequence
Event “Something happens” -> Interpretation of Event -> Physiological Response (Feeling) -> Experance state of mind known as an Emotion
Always take the time to reflect on the emotional feeling, not to get dragged down by it. “Purposeful Pause” !!
