The Emotional Self
How in touch are you with your actual emotional state? Not the day-to-day mindset you bring to the table, but the deeper emotions driving your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, sometimes without you even being aware of it. Have you taken a moment to genuinely unpack those emotions? Is that short temper of yours genuine frustration, or an abiding sadness that has no discernible root? Does that commitment to your career speak to your motivation to succeed or an underlying fear of failure? Establishing an authentic, transparent connection to our thoughts, feelings and emotions can bring us into an entirely new state of self-awareness, leading to a more robust fabric of emotional intelligence.
