As humans we are emotional creatures. Emotions shade just about every decision we make, our relationships, our judgments, and our decisions. We tend to react in times of stress when emotions are clouding our rational mind, instead of taking goal-directed actions.
Learning self- and social awareness, and empathy can help us grow in emotional intelligence and get us off the schoolyard playground into an arena where we are: aware of our emotions, able to control them, and most importantly able to express our emotions using reason, in order to deal with them effectively.
In other words, we can learn to identify and manage our emotions and those of others to effectively and creatively solve problems.
This interactive journal establishes some of the traits we can practice and develop in the areas of self-awareness, social awareness, and empathy. Each page lists a trait to strive for with plenty of journaling space to react, identify, and develop that trait in your own life.
Once you have gone through these pages, there is a set of charts for logging each stressful emotion you may experience, the situation, its components, and, if any modifications are needed, what you might try next time. There are 30 such sheets.
