Emotional intelligence means being aware of our emotional state as it
pertains to the situation we find ourselves in. When we are emotionally intelligent,
we know that we feel emotion, we can name it (relatively) accurately, and we can
express it in non-harmful ways. We do not have to become the emotion and feel
overwhelmed by it. When we are emotionally intelligent like this, our emotions give
us information about how we perceive our place in the world, at that moment. They
are a mirror of our thinking about the world.
We can then use this information to make choices that support ourselves and
others

girls from school walk up, make a big deal about meeting up with their friend who
just happens to be standing in front of Geneva, and take places in line in front of her.

KEEP THIS IN MIND
EMOTIONS
Emotions are what you feel on the inside when things happen. Emotions are
also known as feelings.
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
More Than One Kind of Intelligence
You may have heard people mention "IQ" when talking about intellect and
how smart someone is. (For example, "My brother doesn't need to study as much as
I do because he has a really high IQ.") IQ stands for "intellectual quotient." It can
help predict how well someone may do academically. IQ is just one measure of our
abilities, though.
There are many other kinds of intelligence in addition to intellect. For
example, spatial intelligence is the ability to think in 3D. Musical intelligence is the
5
ability to recognize rhythm, cadence, and tone. Athletic, artistic, and mechanical
abilities are other types of intelligence.
One important type of intelligence is emotional intelligence.

Positive vs. Negative Emotions
Emotions (feelings) are a normal and important part of our lives.
Some emotions are positive. Think of happiness, joy, interest, curiosity,
excitement, gratitude, love, and contentment. These positive emotions feel good.
Negative emotions — like sadness, anger, loneliness, jealousy, self-criticism, fear,
or rejection — can be difficult, even painful at times.
That's especially true when we feel a negative emotion too often, too
strongly, or we dwell on it too long.
6
Negative emotions are impossible to avoid, though. Everyone feels them from
time to time. They may be difficult, but we can learn to handle them.
Here are three steps that can help you handle negative emotions.
Step 1: Identify the Emotion
Learning to notice and identify your feelings takes practice. In addition to
focusing on your feelings, check in with your body, too. You may feel body
sensations with certain emotions — perhaps your face gets hot, for example, or your
muscles tense.
Be aware of how you feel. When you have a negative emotion, such as
anger, try to name what you're feeling.
Don't hide how you feel from yourself. You might not want to
broadcast your feelings to other people (like your ex, for example, or that
guy in your study group who is making you mad). But don't suppress
your feelings entirely. Simply naming the feeling is a lot better than
pretending not to have it — or exploding without thinking.
Know why you feel the way you do. Figure out what happened that got
you feeling the way you do.
Don't blame. Being able to recognize and explain your emotions isn't the
same as blaming someone or something for the way you feel. Your ex
probably isn't seeing someone new as a way to get back at you, and the
guy who takes credit for your work might not even realize what he is
doing. How you feel when these things happen comes from inside you.
Your feelings are there for a reason — to help you make sense of what's
going on.
Accept all your emotions as natural and understandable. Don't judge
yourself for the emotions you feel. It's normal to feel them. Acknowledging
how you feel can help you move on, so don't be hard on yourself.
Step 2: Take Action
Once you've processed what you're feeling, you can decide if you need to
express your emotion. Sometimes it's enough to just realize how you feel, but other
times you'll want to do something to feel better.
Think about the best way to express your emotion. Is this a time
when you need to gently confront someone else? Talk over what you're
feeling with a friend? Or work off the feeling by going for a run?
7
Learn how to change your mood. At a certain point, you'll want to shift
from a negative mood into a positive one. Otherwise your thinking may
get stuck on how bad things are, and that can drag you down into feeling
worse. Try doing things that make you happy, even if you don't feel like it at the
time.
Build positive emotions. Positive feelings create a sense of happiness
and well-being. Make it a habit to notice and focus on what's good in
your life — even the little things, like the praise your dad gave you for
fixing his bookshelves or how great the salad you made for lunch tastes.
Noticing the good things even when you're feeling bad can help you shift
the emotional balance from negative to positive.
Seek support. Talk about how you're feeling with a parent, trusted adult, or
a friend. They can help you explore your emotions and give you a fresh way of
thinking about things. And nothing helps you feel more understood and cared
for than the support of someone who loves you for who you are.
Exercise. Physical activity helps the brain produce natural chemicals
that promote a positive mood. Exercise also can release stress buildup
and help you from staying stuck on negative feelings.
Step 3: Get Help with Difficult Emotions
Sometimes, no matter what you do, you can't shake a tough emotion. If you
find yourself stuck in feelings of sadness or worry for more than a couple of weeks,
or if you feel so upset that you think you might hurt yourself or other people, you
may need extra help.
Talk to a school counselor, parent, trusted adult, or therapist. Counselors and
therapists are trained to teach people how to break out of negative emotions. They
can provide lots of tips and ideas that will help you feel better.

TASK 4: AM I ASSERTIVE?
Assertiveness is the ability to express your wishes and
beliefs in a positive way. Too little assertiveness can make you a
Congratulations! doormat. Too much, and you can be bossy and aggressive.

DATE:
Direction: Recall real experience relating to the situation given below and answer
truthfully the questions. Write your answer in your journal.
1. Think of a time when you were too bossy.
What happened? .
What did you do? .
How did you feel? .

2. Think of a time when you were a doormat.

Now think of a better way to handle that situation in the future. Write a better
response and practice it.
Sometimes we forget the way back to feeling positive.
We might need a reminder that can lead us back to a happier emotional place. That's when a positivity box
(or folder) is really helpful.

REFLECT!
Task 5: PORTFOLIO OUTPUT NO. 8
Create a Positive Treasure Chest
A positivity box is a collection of reminders of positive experiences
we've had. It's a positivity "treasure chest.
Collect and place inside the “Treasure Chest” things that remind you of positive
emotional moments in your life. For example:
-awards that remind you of an accomplishment
-cards or notes from special people in your life
-childhood mementos
-a gift someone gave you
-a photo of someone you look up to
The most important thing is to choose only items that trigger a positive emotion for
you.
When you feel low or discouraged, take a few minutes to look through your
treasure box to boost your positive emotions and to give yourself a daily serving of
positivity. A small daily investment of focusing on the positive pays off with big
lifetime rewards.
NOTE: Just take a snapshot of your customized Positive Treasure Chest using
your cellphone camera and send it to your teacher.
