Category: Integrity & EI

“Getting a hold of my emotions” is the main change in me that I have learned out of all 8 life classes. The term “Integrity” which FS has always been following is something I have learned in depth. Integrity is not only a word but if we apply it in our lives, it can bring a vast change in us and also the people surrounding us. We can help ourselves grow and help others grow if we work on this. In life, there may be many instances where we might think not to follow integrity, but then being brave and working towards it will always keep you stress and guilt free which automatically connects with your emotions.

Emotional Intelligence is something to know about all our emotions in depth, it may be positive or negative and we need to work on it for bringing a better change in ourselves. The life classes here taught me to recognize my different levels of emotions where I could categorize them and fill in what I was lacking. It is we who can keep ourselves happy and it is again we only who can motivate ourselves. We are our own role models when it comes to our mental state of mind. Everyone has a life of their own but what we go through except us no one can feel therefore, we always need to be emotionally strong to stay happy in life and if we are happy we can keep others happy too.

I constantly look forward to my life class sessions. We share our hearts and are at ease during this time. Being mindful has been one of the best lessons I’ve learned so far during Integrity & EI classes, among many others. Understanding my feelings and being aware of what I’m expressing and how I’m saying it. I could learn how to regulate my emotions and actions for my mental peace.  It was a wonderful session for encouraging me to just be wise about my mental health. We learned a variety of lessons that will help us in our personal as well as professional lives.

The 8 days of life class has was an opportunity to reflect on our strengths and weaknesses in the areas of self-awareness and acceptance, emotional management towards oneself and others.

There were insightful discussions that primarily fecilitated this reflection. Listening to people and their life stories opened up new worlds to learn from.

I have also witnessed individuals from my cohort grow throught these life classes. To watch more and more people vocalizing their opinions and taking a stand for themselves is in itself a wonderful experience.

I learn about not being judgemental and showing empathy to others. Learn from the mistake, learn from feedback. Take feedback constructively and constantly improve yourself. Now I am feeling more confident and more excepting. Now I can manage my own emotions in positive ways.

INT + EI

The entire programme of Integrity and Emotional intelligence has helped me understand, use, and manage my own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges and defuse conflict.

The 5 components of EI will help me fuel my performance both in workplace as well as personal life.

The most important take away from these 8 wonderful sessions will be- “From your confidence, empathy and optimism to your social skills and self-control, understanding and managing your own emotions can accelerate success in all areas of your life”.

This workshop has helped me to self-reflect on my emotional intelligence and also I have got to learn so many aspects wherein how to control and acknowledge my own emotions.

I feel Emotional intelligence is considered important because it has been linked to success in various areas of life, including relationships, academics, and careers. It is also considered to be a key factor in overall life satisfaction and well-being. While some people may have a naturally high level of emotional intelligence, it is also a skill that can be developed and improved through intentional effort and practice.

I also learned

self-awareness: Recognizing and understanding one’s own emotions and how they influence thoughts and behavior.

Self-regulation: The ability to control one’s own emotions, thoughts, and actions, especially in difficult situations.

Motivation: Using emotions to drive positive actions and to achieve personal and professional goals.

Empathy: Understanding and recognizing the emotions of others, and responding to them in an appropriate manner.

Social skills: Building and maintaining positive relationships, both personally and professionally, through effective communication and interpersonal skills.

It was a learning journey where we learned the ability to understand other’s emotions as well as our own we also learned how to implement it into our professional and personal lives, and it was definitely interesting to learn how to manage our own emotions in positive ways to relieve the stress in our lives at work place or other wise , to be able to communicate your emotional challenges to the right person in the  right manner effectively, the ability to empathise with others and why it is important to build that within ourselves.Overall it was a wonderful to get up close to deal with our own challenges and setbacks.
