When we understand the function and purpose of our emotional responses, we can build better/healthier relationships with ourselves and others, i.e. how we experience the emotion, how our body reacts to the emotion and how we behave in response to the emotion.

Such an awareness equips us better in intra and interpersonal relationships. We can better relate with our own and others responses in human to human interactions.

That all emotions are relevant and useful. Nothing is bad about any one of them. To be conscious of these emotions is the key to using them to your advantage in your life

Emotions are a key aspect of how we “show up” and how we approach each matter. By being able to recognise and call out each emotion allows me to ensure that I approach the matter in the proper and right manner - important as our work involves many complexities and PEOPLE

Being aware of our own emotions and knowing if we are suppressing them is important so that we are in better control of them and are in a better state of mind in our interactions with people around us. This is especially important when dealing with emotionally charged parents almost on a daily basis.

Naming our emotions help me to process the situation I am in and in a way enable a way towards self-regulation. It is a tool to help us in SEL

Understanding how our beliefs and values are enforced everytime we access the range of emotions, and how practising emotional agility helps to regulate our own thoughts and be aware of our own lenses.

Having the language to describe my emotions allow me to identify my emotions and better understand the “what”, “why” and “how” I feel about the situation, which then allows me to feel and respond in a more rationale manner.

Helpful to identify the emotions that I’m experiencing. If I’m uncomfortable, then to give myself the space and permission to sit in the discomfort, before considering how I might manage my emotions and reactions, because they could in turn affect the emotions of others around me.

Being able to name my emotions and understand its message is a useful strategy to raise self awareness. Being self aware is the first step for me to decide on next action/s. I think the action that I want to be able to do better in is to let go of difficult emotions encountered during my work.

Naming the emotion is the first step to embracing it. Sometimes we hang on to emotions instead of letting go because emotions give us an identity that we may not want to let go off.

Emotions are complex and personal. Being aware, helps us to understand our own vulnerabilities and others as well.

Application in our day to day work

2024-10-24 07:56:21 UTC

When we are more aware of our emotions, we can handle situations better. We can relate with others better by not allowing emotion to control us.

Hsin Wei

Our Emotions are neutral.

We need to be in tune with these emotions as it helps us understand our thoughts/actions, and can also shape our future thoughts/actions.

Upcoming Work Review conversations - Acknowledge the emotions of the other person and my own.. being aware of our physical response… this can help us to better conduct the conversation.

Mak

Those around us would possibly carry an emotion or emotions to an action or conversations with me. If I can be mindful of how they could be feeling, it could open up possibilities for meaningful engagement.

Our emotions are valid, each carrying its own deep and personal story. The movie reminds me of the importance of embracing all emotions as a whole and taking time to walk through them. Every journey and experience is unique and precious.

2024-10-24 07:57:11 UTC

Greater awareness of my triggers and reactions, which often times is felt by others. Also to acknowledge that others have their rights to emotions too, and hence to look beyond the reactions so that the underlying triggers can be better addressed.

It is ok to show and display our emotions openly. It is not a show of our weaknesses but also our strength that we have built in ourselves.

Alvin

Take time to stop, breath and understand the emotion(s), it's roots and why it's there, the purpose.

Remember to surface Joy, at work and in life.

Emotions are 'seasonal' during the growing journey. You gained experiences thru the ups & downs.

Aging well do help now, to better control self emotions in both work & home.

Understanding that emotions are neutral is so important. Because we tend to think that certain emotions are negative, we will often try to suppress them. But emotions are really like the fuel gauge in our car- they tell us something is wrong, and when we are made aware (becos of the emotion we acknowledge we are feeling), then we can take steps to do something abt it.

In my work, I can let this awareness of how certain emotions I’m feeling - like fear - help me understand the reason behind why I choose to respond or behave a certain way (which may not be based on reality but my perception). And I can then make a more informed decision or choice the next time I am faced with the same situation.

It is enlightening to know emotions are neutral. Being able to acknowledge the emotions and knowing it is part of me, can bring out the authentic me !

It allows us to have a deeper understanding of ourselves and the people we work or live with. It also reduces potential misunderstanding and enhances relationship.

The importance of sharing and acknowledging emotions can be sophisticated, not on either extreme ends, but exist in polarity, i.e. how Joy and sadness come together. And how the belief system is much more complex than “I am a good person” or “I am not good enough”, but embracing different emotions and learning more about selves. That is an area to facilitate and share with our students, and even staff to be aware of emotions, and how to respond to it positively!

When we recognise how we are feeling, we tend to take steps to control how we express those feelings as that would affect others. In our roles, it is more difficult to freely express our emotions and we often need to suppress them. We need a safe space/ emotional outlet to let our true feelings out or else it might lead to burnout.

Being aware of the emotions helps us acknowledge those of others, whether at work or our personal lives. It will make us more human, allowing us to be more accessible.

Anxiety is offen the trigger emotion as everyone are not sure will they achieve or becomes what they want to be. Soon this will lead to fear. If unchecked, it may cause a mental melt down

Understanding Self & Others

janisllp — 2024-10-24 07:58:23 UTC

To acknowledge my emotions is to know myself better. To know what my triggers are for joyfulness, sadness, anger helps me to also understand that these emotions also exist in others and I MUST hold space for each individual to experience any emotion and accept it as part and parcel of being human.

Gideon

To recognise our emotions and seek to understand what they are telling us.

To regulate these emotions once they are understood

To help students and colleagues recognise their emotions and understand them. To help them learn the language to identity emotions

Celine

Emotions shape my perspectives, influencing how I interact with others, and to make decisions. By being aware of my emotional responses, I can be more sensitive which allows me to navigate challenges with empathy, and love.

Sandra

It’s not understanding my emotions that’s hard for me, it’s expressing it in a way that’s true to me but at the same time remaining objective and edifying- that’s also important to me. It’s trying to find that balance….

Hock Soon

2024-10-24 07:58:48 UTC

Acknowledging emotions is important but it may not be easy to identify them. Having a trusted person and a safe environment to hear us out would be helpful. We must avoid jumping to solutioning.

Anna

Every emotion is felt for a reason, and it can be damaging in the long term to suppress or cast them aside. Taking some time to sit with these emotions and understand them helps build our self awareness, which allows us to accept and be kinder to ourselves, be more authentic and build healthier relationships.

Justin

2024-10-24 07:58:52 UTC

Understanding the emotions allows me to know myself better. I will be able to manage my emotions when faced with different challenges and situations. It will help in the outcomes of my work and life.

Elaine

I am holding on to JOY as joy is finding peace in both happy times and troubled moments . Joy can break down too, gets angry, then sad, she lost hope but she got it back in the end because that’s what joy is!

Being mindful of our emotions will help us to better manage our well-being and decision-making processes. Having awareness of our own emotions will enable us to lead better in different aspects of our life

Samuel

The vocabulary is necessary, emotions are a critical part of who we are as human beings. The vocabulary allows us to access the deeper parts of ourselves so that we can make distinctions, without distinctions, we cannot see. I need intentionally carved out time and space to reflect and process what is going on inside. I think our teachers and students also need time and safe spaces to do this.

2024-10-24 08:00:18 UTC

Emotions are parts of me. Having that awareness will help me better understand myself in that particular context, process it and work to build resilience.

Accepting that mistakes are part of our lives. Learning from mistakes is more critical to move on in life.
