keep well-traveled connections here
20. Emotional & rational brain
• Dr. Travis Bradbery:The communication
between your emotional and rational “brains” is
the physical source of emotional intelligence.
The pathway for emotional intelligence starts in
the brain, at the spinal cord.
• Your primary sensesenter here and must
travel to the front of your brain before you
can think rationally about your experience.
– However, first they travel through the limbic
system, the place where emotions are
generated. So,we have an emotional
reaction to events before our rational mind
is able to engage. Emotional intelligence
requires effective communication between
the rational and emotional centers of the
brain.

generated through emotions.

51. Coping with Emotions
We typically deal with emotions one of four ways:
1) exaggerating the emotion so that we are overwhelmed by
them and lose control;
2) accepting the emotion and not try to regain control;
3) substituting the emotion with something more comfortable
like distractions; or
4) managing the emotion through self-awareness.
53. Impulse Control
Responding instead of reacting
Recognizing the trigger and the physiological reaction and
Then finding a way to control your response
54. Stress Management
Indicators of stress include: neck and back pain, headaches,
overreaction, and change in sleep or appetite.
Worrying plays a part in stress and anxiety. It can create a
cycle of negative thinking.
One major source of stress is how we perceive things.
Ways of coping with stress, relaxation techniques, proper
nutrition, exercise and sleep.
55. Anger Management
Anger can have the snowball effect because it can gain
momentum from small triggers and when one has an existing
level of anger.
Venting often does not get it out of your system; instead it
gets stronger.
Managing anger could mean focusing on an incompatible
(opposite emotion), using relaxation techniques, or using an
awareness of triggers as a cue to walk away.
56. Depressive Thinking
Sadness is the emotion that people try to avoid the most.
People often isolate themselves when sad, which disconnects them
from supports.
Laughter, exercise, small successes, and helping others can all help
in counteracting sadness.
We often feel sad when we hold on to hurt feelings rather than
expressing them.
59. What is Emotional Resilience?
Emotional Resilience may be described as ‘the general capacity for flexible and resourceful
adaptation to external and internal stressors’ (Klohen, 1996, p. 1067).
Emotional Resilience refers to effective coping and adaptation when faced with hardship and
adversity (Collins, 2008).
Emotional Resilience has been characterized by an ability to experience and ‘bounce back’
from negative emotional experiences by adaptation, to check the changing demands of
stressful experiences (Tugade and Fredrickson, 2004).

“Success is not final. Failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that makes
the difference.”

really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you think you cannot
do.”

Emotion dates back to 1579, was adapted from French word emouvoir, which means “to stir up”. Coined in the early 1800s by Thomas Brown.
Intelligence word derives from Latin word intelligere means to comprehend or perceive.
In 1990, in my role as a science reporter at The New York Times, I chanced upon an article in a small academic journal by two psychologists, John Mayer, now at the University of New Hampshire, and Yale’s Peter Salovey. Mayer and Salovey offered the first formulation of a concept they called “emotional intelligence.”

Our brains are wired to make us emotional creatures. We experience the emotional response to an event before it reaches the part of the brain that thinks rationally and reacts to the emotion.
The more we think about what we are feeling – and do something productive with that feeling – the more developed this pathway becomes. The more traffic in both directions the better.
This means if I typically yell when I’m feeling angry, I have to learn to choose an alternative reaction. I must practice this new reaction many times before it will replace my urge to yell.
