Learning Activities
Activity 1: Feelings Meter
Directions: Below is a set of different emoticons that manifest the
different common human emotions. Your task is to rate yourself as
regards the intensity of emotion you feel whenever you experience each
one of them.
Rate yourself ten (10) for the most extreme and one (1) for the least
extreme. It does not aim to know how frequent you experience these
emotions, rather it focuses on how strong your feelings are when you
experience them in your life. Shade the line up to the corresponding
number of your choice.

Activity 2: heART Attack!
In this activity, you will design your heart showing how complex
its experience of emotions; not to signify how intense each emotion
of yours but how many and how frequent these emotions are
experienced by you.
You may use scribbles or doodles to design your heart but what
is important is the different colors you assign to each part of emotion.
You may choose what occupies the most central part or the
peripheries. Below your heART, make a legend to facilitate our
understanding of the different emotions.

Deepening
What makes us different from animals and other living organisms, are
our ability to become fully aware of our emotions - its expressions and
reactions. With this, we will be able to process and draw out insights from our
experiences that in turn may help us improve in our daily dealings with the
people around us. However, as human beings, we have different perceptions
and receptions about the world – hence we have different ways on how we
process our experiences.

How to be Emotionally Intelligent?
Understanding How Others Feel and Why – Apart from being aware of your
own emotion, another skill to be improved is learning how to understand other’s
emotions. Again, you will not be able to accomplish this if you do not have a
mastery of yourself, or else, you will end up to having mistaken judgment about
people. This skill is also called EMPATHY. This is important since this is a good
ground for positive relationship with others – enabling you to recognize how to
respond to people and situations.
Choosing Your Mood – If you are already aware of your and other’s emotions;
and you are also able to manage your reactions – it is now important to
empower yourself in choosing your moods. Moods are emotional states that
last for a shorter period of time. Recognize that our mood must not always
depend about others and the situations. An emotionally intelligent person
knows that s/he has the capacity to choose his/her mood.
These ways are easier said than done. That is why, mastering the art of
managing emotion is sometimes a lifetime process. As we age, we come to
know more our tendencies, as observed from our previous reactions to
situations, and we get to manage more our emotional expressions.

you already have a capacity to manage your own emotional
expressions? How do you feel about this reality?

communicating them. Saying that emotional expression is healthy does not
mean that we can say all that we want to say in all kinds of manner we want
them to be expressed.
Emotional Intelligence just like other intelligences are honed talents and
skills, and we vary in the way we cultivate these. A huge factor why we vary in
communicating emotions are our personality. Those who are extroverts tend
to have higher emotional expressiveness than those who are introverts. But
the good news is, just like other intelligences, it can be improved. How do we
begin? Generally, it was already stated above: How to Improve Emotional
Intelligence; but specifically, on Communicating Emotional Expressions, the
list below provides concrete ways to do it.
4. Avoid responding “okay” when trusted people ask, “How Are You”,
especially when they seem so sincere about their concern. Instead of
saying just “okay”, you may start expressing what you actually feel. In
counseling, “okay” as a response is not considered an emotion or even
9
a feeling, it is the vaguest answer you would hear. For us Filipinos,
responding “okay” is culturally tolerated – but this is when the purpose
of asking “How Are You” is just a greeting but not an actual question. So,
from now on, instead of saying just “okay”, you may say actual feelings.
For instance: “I feel anxious about our upcoming exams”, “I am
distracted by our classmates’ behaviors”, “I’m excited about what will be
the next lesson”.
