Do you know what emotions you feel, and why? Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/emotional-self-awareness-2\/\">emotional self-awareness<\/a> from this discussion of emotional intelligence from Daniel Goleman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emotional Self Awareness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing your emotions is really a form of self-awareness. <strong>Self-awareness is the ability to recognize a feeling as it\u2019s happening to you.<\/strong> Being able to monitor our feelings as they\u2019re occurring helps us understand ourselves and our psychology. Failure to understand our emotional responses leaves us at their mercy. <strong>The more certain we are about our feelings, the easier it is to make personal decisions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even mild shifts in mood can change the way we make decisions. Making decisions in a good mood creates a perceptual bias that makes us more positive in our thinking&#8211;in other words, making decisions when you\u2019re happy leads to happier decisions. And the opposite is true, too: making decisions when we\u2019re in a bad mood leads to more negative thinking&#8211;you\u2019ll make worse, more negative decisions when you\u2019re in a worse mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being emotionally self-aware of our feelings essentially means we can mentally take a step back from what we\u2019re feeling and observe it, instead of act on it right away. Though being aware of our feelings doesn\u2019t guarantee we can <em>change<\/em> what we\u2019re feeling, the two usually go together. Being emotionally self-aware that you\u2019re in a bad mood usually means you\u2019d like to get out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t equate self-awareness with a \u201cStop that!\u201d mentality.<\/strong> Balance is the goal for emotions, not suppression. All feelings have importance and value. We just want to make sure our emotions match the situation at hand, and that we can control them when they get in the way of what we want to achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>When a child hits another child out of anger, yelling \u201cStop that!\u201d at them might stop the action, but it won\u2019t stop the feeling: the angry child will still be angry. Emotional self-awareness would be a response more like: \u201cYou\u2019re hitting them out of anger. It\u2019s okay to be angry, but it\u2019s not okay to hit people. Why are you angry, and what else can we do about it?\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The One Good Way to Handle Emotions for Emotional Self-Awareness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There are 3 general styles for dealing with emotions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Self-aware<\/strong>. This is the preferable style of dealing with emotions. These people are aware of their moods as they happen but can be mindful about how they deal with them. They\u2019re more sure of their boundaries since they know how they\u2019ll feel. They tend towards a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/positive-outlook-on-life\/\">positive outlook on life<\/a> since they know they can manage whatever moods are thrown at them. They don\u2019t dwell on bad moods and can get out of ruts faster. They can be mindful of their emotions and manage them successfully.<\/li><li><strong>Engulfed<\/strong>. People who deal with emotions this way generally feel lost and overwhelmed inside their emotional responses. They aren\u2019t emotionally self-aware of what\u2019s happening to them. Their moods shift often and overpower them. They do little to change their feelings, and feel out of control often.<\/li><li><strong>Accepting<\/strong>. These people are more clear on what they\u2019re feeling, but they also don\u2019t feel like anything needs to change. Usually this category falls into two smaller categories: people who are usually in good moods, so they don\u2019t have any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/motivation-to-change\/\">motivation to change<\/a> their moods, or people who are usually in bad moods but are resigned to feeling like there\u2019s nothing they can do about it, so they might as well accept it.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal is to be emotionally self-aware and emotionally intelligent. But <strong>how can you tell if you fall into one of the other categories?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The book gives an example to help you figure it out. Imagine you\u2019re on a flight. The pilot makes an announcement on the intercom that there\u2019s turbulence ahead and everyone needs to return to their seats and fasten their seatbelts. The plane hits this turbulence and it\u2019s the roughest you\u2019ve ever experienced&#8211;the plane is getting tossed around like a beach ball on the waves. What do you do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Are you the kind of person who buries themselves in a book, magazine, or movie, tuning out the turbulence and assuming it\u2019ll be fine?<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you emotionally self-aware?
