  • Navras – the realm of emotions

    Emotions, root emovere. A latin word which means movement. So emotions equal movement, what makes you act. Feelings that make you do what you do.

    And then there are all the labels we use for emotions – positive, negative, catastrophic, euphoric. Its unfair to label our emotions. They are at most  intense, calm, pleasant or unpleasant. It’s what you do basis these emotions which make for a positive or a negative outcome.

    But bear in mind that all emotions are welcome, all behaviours aren’t. It’s like looking at a dashboard – where emotions are the insights. They are signals waiting to be interpreted and not problems waiting to be solved.

    Feelings come and go like waves in the ocean. They say time and tide wait for none. And emotions, well,  they knock on our doors every moment we are alive.

    So don’t be ashamed of what you feel. Stay unabashedly true to what you feel. But make sure what you do after reflects your journey as an individual.

  • Emotional intelligence

    Does that title even make sense? It’s like two opposite words put together. We would like to think we humans are rational logical thinking animals; but pause and think, doesn’t everything start with a tiny seed called emotion?

    Emotional intelligence is something we all are wired with. Some are highly sensitive to it while others not as much. Thus emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize and understand emotions. Firstly your own and then those of others. Using this level of awareness to manage behavior and outcomes makes navigating life easier.

    Self awareness ie , motivation, regulation for self. Others Empathy and social skills with others

    As a first step it may just help to identify what triggers this emotion in me? Is it an event, a situation or a person? Is there a pattern or common identifier which I can then start pre-empting.

    The second essential question to know is what emotions do I feel? Am I able to give it the right title or I tend to label everything as stress.

    Pause. Reflect. Act.
