How to Identify Your Emotions

A person’s emotional intelligence can predict how successful they will be in various aspects of their life; whether at work or how good they are at nurturing relationships with friends and family. Our emotional intelligence also helps us get along with all sorts of people, which in itself is an undeniable skill. It also determines how good we will be at expressing our feelings.

If you want to explore ways in which you can boost your emotional intelligence, here are some tips to help you identify your emotions.

What are ‘emotions’?

The word ’emotions’ can refer to several things: our feelings, such as fear, anger, happiness or sadness. It can also refer to our thoughts & thinking patterns, like what we think when we’re angry at someone, or what train of thought we usually follow when we’re feeling depressed. How we process our emotions has a direct bearing on the way we react to provocative situations: for example when angry, do you lash out or feel an urge to break things, or are you able to stay calm and work through a tense situation in a level-headed manner?

Learning how to identify our emotions

Emotional intelligence comes from being self-aware. The ability to feel and name our emotions helps us not to be overwhelmed in distressing situations.

You can work through the bundle of emotions you feel by practicing journaling to organize your emotions. Identifying your emotions and writing them down on paper can also help you make sense of your personality and identify unhealthy patterns. For example, do you go down a spiral of self-doubt after every little setback in life? Do you constantly feel paranoid and overthink about how your friends feel about you?

How hypnosis can help you learn to identify your emotions

A certified hypnotist can help you harness the power of your subconscious mind to think more clearly about your emotions. The thousands of thoughts that constantly populate our conscious mind can make us feel overwhelmed. An overworked brain is not able to process emotions effectively. That’s why feelings of paranoia, anger or mistrust creep in.

Hypnosis will allow you to think from your subconscious. Many people find that their circumstances begin to appear much simpler and more straightforward after a hypnosis session. Like meditation, it helps us relax and think without dozens of thoughts cluttering our mind.
