Let’s be more intelligent emotinally

Anxious in the beginning as I am in the beginning of every class. Worried whether will I get to know something new or nullify my earlier thoughts. Well, both happened. My new learnings were amygdala hijack, autopilot mode, Siberian train, passion and purpose and many more. There was a lot of assurance I got that I am on a right track towards being intelligent when it came to being optimistic, balanced and contended. And I had a paradigm shift when we learnt about empathy. That is an action plan I am working on and now I try to not give advice but lend a hearing ear to a person in need of my empathy. Handling difficult conversation is something which was overlooked by me but now I have better tools to handle it. All in all, these session, mindfull nature walks and the therepautic mediation session taken have added value to my life. Again my heart is filled with gratitude as God has led my way to this fantabulous institution.

Intelligent or not? That is the question

The question has been answered with this amazing workshop,”Emotional Intelligence”. These 8 days were an insightful and thought provoking one. The latter days focused on Empathy and Social Skills. I was able to understand the word ‘Empathy’ in a broader sense. There is a vast difference between the generic definition to the actual understanding of Empathy. I understood how empathy plays a major role in maintaining a healthy relationship at workplace and work towards the greater good for all. The best part was to visit the old age home to practice empathy and social skills where I understood how important it is to be empathetic and lead a hearing ear to the one in need doesn’t only benefit them but also us as it gives us a satisfaction which can’t be expressed in world. I felt really blessed to have such a life where I have people who wants me to be a part of their life. All and all, Emotional Intelligence Workshop did help me understand and manage my emotions in a better way.

Emotional Intelligence

While it’s easy to think of Emotional Intelligence as all about mushy feelings, it’s an idea born from a lot of psychological research and now strengthened and backed up by neuroscience.

It is an awareness of your feelings, emotions and your ability to use that awareness in myriad, unprecedented life situations. An ability to navigate through life confidently.

But, how do we understand ourselves? And how do we use that knowledge to achieve success and contentment in the world around us?

These questions have been aptly answered in this Life class.

An emotionally intelligent person is aware of the influence emotions have on different people, acts accordingly, and as a result has more successful and holistic relationship dynamics.
Hence, EQ is the need of the hour!

Confused.. still moving on..!!

My journey of Critical Thinking so far has taught me to think two ways: Keeping your emotions aside as well as considering them.

There are many situations in every individual’s life where they have to think critically and hop to one conclusion. But is it easy?

I have learned to analyze a situation without overthinking. Critical thinking reflects that emotions and reasoning go hand in hand. It gives us ownership of beliefs. The decision between a fact and an opinion will be taken on grey areas and not black & white.

The question which still resolves is Who is God? I mean I have seen my family discussing about Lord Krishna because of which I have various images and types of GOD in mind. But, Now after the sessions and discussion, I am confused that no one has seen god, all these stories are assumptions that something of this sort must have happened and people are believing it since ages.

I never doubted on the existence of God! There is some creator and destroyer, there is some supreme being.

Religion what I believe is all man – made, people of same beliefs and location came together to form a group and then they made their own rituals and traditions and then domination started.

Also, learned that one should not be biased in taking decisions but think critically about what is actually important for us.

Critical Thinking (2022-23)

Critical thinking has helped me to understand about the difference between needs and want. During the sessions we’re got to know more about how everyone has difference perspective/perception on same thing. It was a experience about the peoples thinks critically about the religion too. For critical thinking you have to be open minded and think all possible ways of understanding which is highlight of it.

How your facilitator gives inputs during the critical thinking session is more important which can help you to know above it deeply. Guest speaker sessions was the perfect way, to clear the understanding of participants.

Emotional Intelligence

This life class taught me the ability to monitor my own and others feelings and emotions. I was able to discriminate among them and learnt to become more optimistic and control my emotions.  The five domains of emotional Intelligence taught me to control my emotions in an organized manner. The POMODORO technique helped me focus the unfocused arenas in my life. I now strive to be more empathetic with my own self and others surrounding me. I also learnt how to make tough conversations facile and productive. All in all, it was indeed a splendid experience…as these 7 to 8 sessions of life classes thoroughly helped me become a better and a positive person.

I now feel I have the magic mantra to manage my emotional Intelligence….this would surely make my life awesome. I will never forget the learnings…would always strive to reiterate them and use my transfer skill to apply them in real life.

 

 

Emotional Intelligence Batch 3

Oh what a journey, what brainstormings, what jolly meetings!!
A tour to our smallest aspect of our mind, emotions and self well embraced and accepted. It was wonderful to participate and share our fears, explore our happiness and be a change in oneself. Cherry on the cake – A trip to old-age home gave me a reflection of how therapeutic it was to give back to the society we are in.
Thank you for the session BM and JC. Thank you participants for being a traveller with me.

Love,

Emotional Intelligence

The Key to Strong Relationships and Success

Emotional intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to recognize and manage emotions, both in oneself and others. This skill set is essential in both personal and professional settings and plays a crucial role in the way we interact with others.

Here are the most important points to keep in mind when it comes to emotional intelligence:

  1. EI is critical for successful relationships: People with high levels of emotional intelligence are better equipped to handle conflicts, build strong relationships, and communicate effectively with others.
  2. It can impact career success: Research has shown that individuals with high levels of emotional intelligence are more likely to be successful in their careers, perform better under stress, and lead more effectively.
  3. Self-reflection and empathy are key: Improving emotional intelligence requires effort and practice, including self-reflection, practicing empathy, active listening, managing one’s own emotions, and seeking feedback from others.
  4. Emotional intelligence can be developed: While some people may have a natural talent for emotional intelligence, it is a skill that can be learned and improved with practice.

In conclusion, emotional intelligence is a crucial skill set that can have a major impact on our relationships and success in both personal and professional settings. By focusing on developing our emotional intelligence, we can become better communicators, build stronger relationships, and lead happier, more fulfilling lives.

Critical Thinking ( Day 7 & 8)

On final 2 day of my Life class I came across many views on religion. Sessions were very interactive especially Vardaan Sir’s.

I myself have commented and argued a lot during my teenage years on different religious beliefs and rituals. But over a period I understood that there is no point doing it. I have also understood that finding common ground is essential for peaceful co-existence in the society.

Thanking both Bhargavi Ma’am and Shezin Ma’am for helping me to think critically from all the angles.
