1) Emotions involve a subjective experience, physiological response, and behavioral response. They communicate important information and influence how we interact with the world. 2) There are several basic emotions like fear, anger, happiness, disgust, surprise, and sadness. More complex emotions on the "wheel of emotions" also exist. 3) The amygdala plays a key role in processing emotions and can trigger rapid "fight or flight" responses before conscious awareness. This shows how emotions guide our behavior on unconscious levels.

2. WHAT ARE EMOTIONS?
Emotion is a complex psychological
state that involves three distinct
components namely a subjective
experience, physiological response
and a behavioural or expressive
response.
By Don Hocken Bury

3. TYPES OF
EMOTIONS
In 1972 Psychologist Paul
Eckman suggested six basic
emotions that is universal
throughout cultures.
FEAR ANGER
HAPPINESS DISGUST
SURPRISE SADNESS

5. 3 KEY ELEMENTS OF EMOTIONS
1.Subjective Experience
One’s own experience of emotions such as angry," "sad," or "happy,",
may be much more multi-dimensional as "hence subjective. Mixed
emotions over different events or situations in our lives are common.

7. AMYGDALA
Is an almond-shape set of
neurons located deep in
the brain's medial
temporal lobe. Shown to
play a key role in the
processing of emotions,
the amygdala forms part
of the limbic system

8. ● The amygdala combines many different sensory
inputs.
● Like the hippocampus it combines external and
internal stimuli. Every sensory modality has input.
● These are integrated with somatosensory and
visceral inputs—this is where you get your “gut
reaction”.
● The link between prefrontal cortex, septal area,
hypothalamus, and amygdala likely gives us our gut
feelings, those subjective feelings, about what is
good and what is bad.

9. It is also where memory and emotions are combined.
When the reward is particularly sweet, that behavior and
association may last a lifetime. Likewise, the trauma and
humiliation of punishment may be remembered for a long
time too.

10. PHYSIOLOGICAL
RESPONSE
Information about
emotional stimuli
reaches the amygdala
via a direct pathway
from the thalamus (‘low
road’) as well as by a
pathway from the
thalamus to the cortex
(‘high road’) to the
amygdala.
The quick unconscious route
elicits an ‘automatic’
reaction around a fiftieth of
a second (20 milliseconds of
a second) after the sound
enters your ear. The longer,
slower route via the cortex
takes 5th of a second this is
how long it takes before you
are consciously aware of
what made you jump.

11. AMYGDALA HIJACK
The amygdala hijack is an
immediate, overwhelming
emotional response with a
later realization that the
response was inappropriately
strong given the trigger.

12. BEHAVIOUR
RESPONSE
Actual expressions of emotions and lot of time is
spent on interpreting the emotional expressions
of people around us.
This stage is the one that is tied to the concept
“EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE”

13. Emotional
Intelligence?
● Knowing your
emotions.
● Managing your own
emotions.
● Motivating yourself.
● Recognizing and
understanding other
people's emotions.
● Managing relationships

17. SELF AWARENESS
Self-awareness plays a critical role in
how we understand ourselves and how
we relate to others and the world.
Being self-aware allows you to evaluate
yourself in relation to others

18. SELF AWARENESS-SELF CONCEPT
IDEAL SELF
Who you want to
be?
?
SELF IMAGE
How you see
yourself?
SELF WORTH
How you value
Yourself?

19. SELF AWARENESS
If you see yourself as a winner, you
build the attitude of a winner, you
develop the character of a winner and
that determines your steps and how you
respond to challenges.
When you look into the mirror, you see
yourself to be a Bill Gates and that
becomes the factor and determinants in
shaping your character and even your
destiny.
The cat looks in the mirror
and believes to be seeing a
vicious lion and that
automatically gives it an
attitude of a daring, brave
and indomitable warrior,
which the lion is known to
be.

20. SELF AWARENESS
You will start walking, thinking and
carrying yourself like what you see in
the mirror to be you – a winner, and
that will be the major motivation for
you towards shaping your character,
attitude and objectives in life.

21. SELF CONFIDENCE
In our life, it’s our MOMENT
of CHOICE and we all have
to deal with such negative
thoughts from all sides
always. Some thoughts are so
powerful they overpower us
and makes us clueless. Let us
not decide anything in a
hurry. Let’s think of
ourselves as the pregnant
deer with the ultimate happy
ending. Anything can happen
in a MOMENT in this life.

22. SELF
REGULATION
Self-regulation can be defined
in various ways. In the most
basic sense, it involves
controlling one's behavior,
emotions, and thoughts in the
pursuit of long-term goals.
More specifically, emotional
self-regulation refers to the
ability to manage disruptive
emotions and impulses.
Types of self regulation
There are three core types of self-regulation:
emotional, cognitive, and social.
● Emotional self-control is based mainly on our
ability to calm down in the face of anger and
frustration.
● Cognitive self-regulation boils down to our
problem- solving abilities.
● Social self-control, meaning our capacity to
refrain from just saying whatever pops into our
mind.

MANAGEMENT
You need not react to
every opinion, every
comment, or every
situation
Realized souls will avoid
contact with negativity not
out of fear, but out of desire
to keep away from impurity

25. SOCIAL AWARENESS :EMPATHY
Let Your Gentleness Be Evident to All
I feel now the truth of those
words,which I never understood
before:‘It is more blessed to
give than to receive.'
Learning to accept each other’s
faults and choosing to celebrate
each other’s differences is one of
the most important keys to creating
a healthy, growing, and lasting
relationship.

Trees and lungs are both modeled by
fractal geometry for their continued
branching structure.
Trees produce atmospheric O2 gas
by pulling oxygen atoms from CO2
molecules that they absorb
The reverse of what our bodies do:
absorb O2 & return oxygen atoms in
the form of CO2.

28. ● Notice patterns in your emotional history
● Practice deciding how to behave
● Be open minded and agreeable
● Improve your empathy skills
HOW TO DEVELOP EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE ?

29. ● Read people body language
● See the effect you have on others
● Practice being emotionally honest
● See where you have room for improvement and lower
your stress level
● Be more lighthearted at home and at work

32. Spiritual intelligence is a higher dimension of intelligence that
activates the qualities and capabilities of the authentic self (or
the soul), in the form of wisdom, compassion, integrity, joy,
love, creativity, and peace. Spiritual intelligence results in a
sense of deeper meaning and purpose, combined with
improvements in a wide range of important life skills and work
skills.

36. CONCLUSION
Emotional intelligence is
knowledge that cannot be
fed to someone with books or
teachings. It has to be
recognized and learned
through one's self and
experiences.
As rightly said by Plato
“All learning has an emotional base
