The importance of emotions
Understanding ourselves, our moods and our emotions is often surprisingly difficult. Yet, the ability to be aware and to regulate one’s emotional state is a key ingredient of a fulfilled and successful life. Daniel Goleman and others have popularised “Emotional Intelligence” as a catalyst for successful leadership1 and fulfilling personal relationships2. Increasing our “EQ” has become a common goal of coaches, trainers and therapists.
Goleman’s emotional intelligence model looks at awareness and regulation of the emotions of ourselves and others. By crossing these two categories, it draws a holistic map of crucial skills for the digitised world of the 21st century.
AWARENESS
Ourselves
Self awareness
The ability to be aware of your emotions (emotional awareness) and self-assess your state. This is also the foundation for self-motivation and self-confidence.
Others (“Relational”)
Social awareness
This is what we often refer to as empathy. In work environments it can extend to organisational awareness and lay the basis for service orientation.
REGULATION
Ourselves
Self Management
Our ability for emotional self-control allows us to adapt to what we experience and is the basis for optimism and achievement orientation.
Others (“Relational”)
Relationship Management
Being sensible of both our own and others’ emotional states, we can facilitate successful teamwork, act as change catalysts and be inspirational leaders.
How are emotions created?
According to the two factor theory3 and similarly described in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), our emotions are based on a stimulus and arise through the interplay of physical arousal and a cognitive label.
In practice what this means is that we interpret the situation we’re in cognitively (we “think”), possibly connecting what we experience with our memory, and together with a sensation (“feeling”) in our body, this results in an emotion.
Looking at an example situation, let’s imagine that we walk home through a lonely street. We see a person in a long coat catching up to us (“stimulus”) which reminds us of a crime movie we watched recently (cognitive interpretation) and our heart starts beating faster (physical arousal). We experience fear.
What emotions do we experience?
Emotions can be described with words, and they can also be categorised according to their valence (is an emotion pleasant/positive or unpleasant/negative?) and activation (the energy level experienced with the emotion). The Circumplex of Emotions, a model originally proposed by psychologist James A. Russel in 1980, visualises emotions along these two axes. Within this system of coordinates, we can locate our emotional state within the circumplex and without words to label the emotion.

Good quality
Nice product. Good quality. I use this for adolescent counselling sessions and the kids really like using them to help them explore their feelings. Great for young people who are finding it tough to open up with talk therapy and need a tool to help them break the ice.
