The scale of emotional guidance and intelligence
March 15, 2009 by Megan · Leave a Comment
It is possible to change your emotional set point and to position yourself for quicker and positive life change. My years as a therapist support that many people do not have alternative feelings to reach toward though. Not only do some people have a constipated emotional vocabulary they also have no previous experience of positive feeling and have no idea where they fall on a scale of emotional guidance.
Are you intimate with your feelings? Where are you on the scale of emotional intelligence and guidance?
- Joy, knowledge, empowerment, freedom, love, appreciation
- Passion
- Enthusiasm, eagerness, happiness
- Positive expectation, belief
- Optimism
- Hopefulness
- Contentment
- Boredom
- Pessimism
- Frustration, irritation, impatience
- Overwhelment
- Disappointment
- Doubt
- Worry
- Blame
- Discouragement
- Anger
- Revenge
- Hatred, rage
- Jealousy
- Insecurity, guilt, unworthiness
- Fear, grief, depression, despair, powerlessness.
While these labels are merely words, it is the feelings associated with the words on the higher end of the scale that have the ability to change our lives for the better. When you consciously reach for a higher feeling, your immediate state of feeling is improved.
Having a sample of happy memories to recall helps to move the focus away when you become aware of a lower scale feeling. If you are feeling angry for example, consciously think of a time when….[insert own positive thought...]
