"There is something about observing and being aware of an emotion without judgement that is a key part of regulation. We can then make a choice about how we react or not to the situation. If we judge a feeling as good or bad, we tell ourselves a story and make meaning of something that we can’t necessarily control and then add more feelings like guilt or shame.
Non-judgemental observation helps us interact more appropriately with events around us and process what is appropriate, and what is not, without making things worse for ourselves. Anger and sadness are legitimate responses to situations as is happiness and excitement. Labelling them good or bad stops us engaging with them appropriately."
Exploring Emotional Intelligence has been a fascinating process and I've just posted the next article in my EI series, this one being all about Self Management.
