14. Emotional Storytelling
Emotional Storytelling gives us an opportunity to discover meaning, find healing, and
establish or re-establish an identity, all integral factors for success and happiness.
Individuals who engage in Emotional Storytelling are brave people who recognize
issues they would like to address in their lives.
Problems emerge in everyone’s lives due to a variety of factors; in Emotional
Storytelling, there is no point in assigning fault to anyone or anything.
Emotional Storytelling separates people from their problems, viewing them as whole
and functional individuals who engage in thought patterns or behavior that they would
like to change.
The problem is the problem, the person is not the problem.
Emotional Storytelling help us to be able to answer “HOW ARE YOU?”
16. "Shame is being the victim of a scam and losing my life savings."
"Shame is struggling with addiction."
"Shame is being fired from my dream job and having to start over."
"Shame is being the only one in my family who didn't graduate from university."
"Shame is struggling with my weight and constantly feeling judged."
"Shame is being unable to provide for my family during tough times."
"Shame is being arrested and going to jail."
"Shame is being a survivor of domestic abuse and feeling guilty for not leaving sooner."
17. Shame resilience theory
We are all capable of overcoming shame through building shame resilience. And
according shame resilience theory (SRT), we can learn and develop the following:
Capacity to recognize our experiences of shame
Ability to move through shame constructively, maintaining our authenticity and growing from
our experiences
Stronger, more meaningful connections with people in our lives
18. Practicing Empathy
Work on listening to people without interrupting
Pay attention to body language and other types of nonverbal communication
Try to understand people, even when you don't agree with them
Ask people questions to learn more about them and their lives
Imagine yourself in another person's shoes
Strengthen your connection with others to learn more about how they feel
Seek to identify biases you may have and how they affect your empathy for others
Look for ways in which you are similar to others versus focusing on differences
Be willing to be vulnerable, opening up about how you feel
Engage in new experiences, giving you better insight into how others in that situation may
feel
19. Socioemotional Selectivity Theory
Socioemotional Selectivity Theory suggests that as people age they become more
selective in the goals they pursue, with older people prioritizing goals that will lead to
meaning and positive emotions and younger people pursuing goals that will lead to the
acquisition of knowledge.
Socioemotional selectivity theory demonstrates that the human ability to perceive time
impacts motivation.
Older adults have a bias towards positive stimuli, a phenomenon called the positivity
effect.
The positivity effect suggests that, in contrast to young adults, older adults tend to pay more attention to
and remember positive information over negative information.
Older adults with higher levels of cognitive control tend to exhibit the strongest
preference for positive stimuli.
Thus, the positivity effect appears to be the result of older adults using their cognitive resources to
selectively process information that will meet their goal to experience more positive and less negative
emotion.

24. Componential Theory of Creativity
The theory specifies that creativity requires a confluence of
four components: Creativity should be highest when:
1) an intrinsically motivated person with
2) high domain expertise and
3) high skill in creative thinking
4) an environment high in supports for creativity
25. Nurturing Creativity
Encourage collaboration
Provide opportunities for experimentation
Encourage a growth mindset
Promote a culture of feedback
Let go of control
26. Do you ever get involved in something so deeply that
nothing else seems to matter and you lose track of
time?
27. Flow: Being in the zone
Flow denotes the holistic sensation presents when we act with total involvement
It is the state in which action follows upon action according to an internal logic which
seems to need no conscious intervention on our part.
We experience it as a unified flowing from one moment to the next, in which we feel in
control of our actions, and in which there is little distinction between self and
environment; between stimulus and response or between past, present and future.
mental state of flow is described "being completely involved in an activity for its own
sake. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows
inevitably from the previous one. Your whole being is involved, and you're using your
skills to the utmost."
28. The autotelic personality and Flow
People with certain personality traits may be better able to achieve flow than the
average person.
These traits include curiosity, persistence, low egotism, and a high propensity to
perform activities for intrinsic reasons.
Being autotelic means having a self-contained activity, without the expectation of future
benefit, but simply to be experienced.
people with an autotelic personality have a greater preference for "high-action-
opportunity, high-skills situations that stimulate them and encourage growth" compared
to those without an autotelic personality.
Experimental evidence shows that a balance between individual skills, and demands
of the task (compared to boredom and overload) only elicits the flow experience in
individuals having an internal locus of control
29. Characteristics of Flow
The merging of action & awareness: you don’t see yourself as separate from what you
are doing.
Complete concentration on the task: This concentration appears effortless, however,
and is not associated with mental strain or aggressive efforts to control or repress thinking.
Lack of worry results in a sense of control: This focus allows the person to feel as if
they are in complete control of their actions.
A loss of self-consciousness: we are not trapped in an internal conflict between various
options
Timelessness: Time may seems to pass more quickly than usual
Autotelic nature of experience: The experience is done for its own sake rather than a
means to another goal
A challenging activity that requires skill: It is only when the demands of the situation
present challenge to the person’s skills that flow is possible.
31. Neuroscientific Explanation of Flow State
Dopaminergic pathways
This is the system of gratification.
Dopamine energizes, increases creativity and diminishes feelings of fatigue or resistance.
The adaptive gain theory
The release of norepinephrine in two phases
The phasic state corresponds with focused, precise behavior and task-relevant decision making.
The tonic state is associated with fluctuating attention and distractibility.
During flow, there is intermediate tonic activity, which causes strong phasic activity. Hence, the
modulation of norepinephrine release affects the cortical circuits for task performance and allows for
sustained attention in flow.
Transient Hyperfrontality Hypothesis
Temporary downregulation of prefrontal cortex
Lower activity of default mode network (system of the awareness of thought and self-consciousness). It
links to the absence of worrying
32. How to produce more flow in life?
Find a way to challenge oneself, make the task more interesting and pay attention to
what one is doing.
We enter a state of deep flow only when two conditions are met.
The first is when the demands are so high that we must force ourselves to pay strictest attention to the
task from moment to moment.
The second is when the demands of the task force us to move beyond a state where self-
consciousness divides our attention between the task and an ongoing self-evaluation of how we are
performing it.
When we are just beginning to learn a new skill, our awareness is so heightened that
we cannot just relax and let the activity happen. When we become more proficient, we
can stop thinking about how to do it and simply do the task.
