Emotion is your reaction to any stimulus and comes from your limbic system, the area in your brain that
reacts automatically to the world around you without your rational thought or reasoning (Hasson, 2012). All
emotions have reasons as to why you feel them. Emotions include three aspects or components: cognitive,
physical, and behavioral .

1. Cognitive component refers to the person’s appraisal of the situation. So, when you interpret an
experience as threatening, negative emotions such as anger or anxiety may be felt.
2. Physical component is the body’s reaction to feelings or emotions. When you are anxious, your
heartbeat becomes faster, or you may even experience fainting.
3. Behavioral component is the action tendency to deal with certain emotions such as evading a
frightening situation or leaving unfinished tasks because of boredom.
Emotions are measured through:
 Self-report instruments or psychological tests.
 They can also be measured through physiological ways such as monitoring blood pressure, heart
beat, sweating of palms, and even through blood chemistry and brain activities.
 Emotions are measured through behavioral manifestations such as facial expressions and tone of the
voice.
To illustrate, you do not talk to people when you are angry, or you leave unfinished tasks when you are
bored.

There are different types of emotions.

 Positive emotions may help you become more motivated in doing your tasks; they may even develop
your creativity or establish harmonious relationships, with others. Positive emotions are also
associated with good physical and psychological conditions. Some of the positive emotions are
happiness, love, joy, hope, and excitement.
 Negative emotions, such as anger, range, boredom, and disgust, may reduce your efficiency and
even your motivation to perform certain tasks. However, when emotions are too strong and we lose
control of handling our feelings, our thoughts and even our actions are affected. Thus, we must know
how to manage our emotions.
Your emotions tell you when something is wrong. When you feel that something is me not right, listen to
your body. Your intuition we may be guiding you on what to do in a particular situation. Your feelings of
unease or discomfort can alert you on a potential danger or misfortune. These feelings are prompting you to
respond and guide you to not to make any hasty decision.

More so, your emotions allow you to maintain and develop your relationships into meaningful ones.
Emotions that we usually call negative, such as shame, guilt, and pride, allow us to realize that we have done
our friends wrong and that we need to make amends. Positive emotions, on the other hand, such as feeling
accepted or understood, warm our hearts and make us value our relationships. Such emotions enable us to
respond lovingly and supportively. Hence, emotions are important because they create in us the opportunities
to see things meaningfully. We see purpose in our lives and become more capable of making and
implementing choices. Finally, your emotions bring out your feelings of self-respect and self-worth. The
more that you feel good about yourself, the more open you are in experiencing the marvels and challenges of
life. In doing so, you allow yourself to realize your potentials to the fullest. And so, you let yourself be you
and celebrate your emotions.

Managing Emotions
Celebrating your emotions is important. However, there is no point in celebrating them if we do not know
how to manage them well. Hence, dealing with emotions is important in life. Emotions are so powerful—they
can make or break an individual.
 To manage your emotions, you need to notice and be aware of your emotions. You have to
recognize what you feel in a particular situation or experience. For example, let's say that your best
friend did not tell you that he or she is currently engaged in a relationship. How would you feel? You
have to think or even list those feelings that you felt about your best friend. However, there are times
when the things that you know are manifestations only of your feelings (e.g., you do not want to talk
to him or her, you want space; you do not talk to him or her right now).
 To manage your emotions well, you have to do the next step-identify and name what you feel. In the
example situation, you may feel angry, disappointed, and even betrayed. These negative feelings are
the reasons that you want space, or that you do not want to see and talk to him or her.
 The third step in managing your emotions is by owning and accepting what you feel. There is
nothing wrong with what you feel. If you are angry, it is normal to feel that way. Owning and
accepting your feelings mean becoming responsible to your behavior as a result of your negative
emotions.
 Finally, the last step in managing emotions is discernment and appropriation. You do not just
recognize what you feel but you also take the appropriate action or steps to deal with your feelings.
Yes, you may not want to talk to your best friend because of anger, but you cannot stay in that mode
forever unless you have decided to end your friendship permanently. Perhaps, you can talk to
someone you trust, so that you can release your negative feelings and then later come up with plans
or actions on how to deal with your feelings. You may opt to have a heart to heart talk with your best
friend when you are ready.

The Nature and Importance of Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence is the capacity to understand and manage emotions. According to Daniel
Goleman, one of the proponents of emotional intelligence, emotional intelligence includes the individual's

SAINT ROSE OF LIMA SCHOOL, INC. – BACOLOD CITY

S.Y. 2021-2022
5
 Personal Development 12 Module 4 Week 5

ability to motivate oneself despite frustrations, the capacity to control impulses, and the ability to empathize
with others. Thus, an emotionality intelligent person is not only capable of recognizing his or her feelings but
is also competent in identifying how various emotions affect him or her.

TO BE EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT, YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO: identify, understand, use,
and manage your emotions (Hasson, 2012).
 Identifying an emotion simply means naming or describing it. This, however, involves identifying the
biological, cognitive, and behavioral makeup.
Identification includes:
 how your body reacts to the cause (e.g., heart pounding, hands sweating, changing tone of your
voice). Being keen to bodily manifestations will allow you to determine the intensity of how you feel
the emotion.
 Also, you need to know what your thoughts are that triggered the emotion or vice versa.
 You need to determine how you express your emotion, how often do you feel it, how you express it,
and what its consequences are, so that you may know how appropriate you have emotionally
responded to a situation.
 Understanding emotions means making sense and meaning of what you feel. To do so, you need to
know the reason that you feel the emotion. What specific need you want to satisfy or what motivates you
to feel it. For example, your mother failed to buy the cellphone that she promised to give you today, so
you feel really disappointed. Such a disappointment made you feel angry toward her. So, you sulked and
did not want to talk to her. Understanding the need that you want to satisfy with getting the cellphone
right away may make you understand why you got angry.
 Using your emotions means drawing on your emotions to direct your actions, make decisions, and work
with your reason to your advantage. In doing so, you may create your mood. Your mood is different from
your emotions, but it is relative to what you feel about your present situation. For example, your uplifting
mood inspires you to be more creative and motivated to study your lessons; on the other hand, your
gloom mood makes you feel lazy. Also, another important thing in using your emotions to your
advantage involves knowing how to acknowledge your emotions.
 Finally, Managing what you feel does not mean controlling it by dominating or suppressing it. Rather,
managing your emotions entails skill and flexibility to do so. It means being honest with what you feel. It
means knowing how, when, and where to express it. For example, you got hurt by your friend's negative
comment about you and you want to hurt him or her back. However, you are in your class and your
teacher is discussing a new lesson. An emotionally intelligent person knows that he or she has to stay
calm first because he or she might utter hateful words that might be regretted later on. Being careful with
your thoughts may lead you to be more emotionally intelligent. Managing your emotions also means
taking time to understand why you feel the way you do before acting upon your emotions. It helps you
deal with the situation wisely.

Finally, Emotional well-being is attained only through knowing how to manage your emotions and
not by ignoring the “negative” ones; rather, it is by knowing that all emotions have positive intent and
may be used to your advantage. Hence, you have to be honest with your feelings. Write or talk about
them. When you are jealous, write about it. When you are angry, talk about it. You just have to bear in
mind that you need to express your emotions in an appropriate manner, at the right place, and in the right
time.
