What is meant by channelizing the emotions?
Every moment we are undergoing different emotions like happiness, sadness, fear, frustrations, anger, and so on. We have two choices in recognizing and managing emotions. Either we use it for our advantage or turn it for a disaster for us and our surroundings. Channelizing the emotion is more about how to recognize the emotion and direct it for betterment for us and the surroundings.
Why the channelizing the emotion is important?
When we do not know how to channelize the emotions, it hits us back by way of losing peace, losing focus on higher-level growth-oriented activities. Sometimes when we are not keeping the perspective right, the emotions affect our health as well.
Hence awareness is required to handle different emotions with different methods as we are dealing with a mix of both positive and negative emotions in everyday transactions with others.
For example,
In our workplace, predominately, we have the following emotions in our day to day interactions with our colleagues/team/boss and even with the customers.
- Anger (when the things do not happen as we expect)
- Jealous (when some of our colleague's / competitor does well than us)
- Frustration (when we do not see the result for our effort, or someone does not recognize our work)
- Insecure (when we do not know the direction of future on job/business)
- Feeling low (we do not know what to do in a particular moment; less motivated)
- Irritation (when we work with the person whom we do not like to work)
You can add on the list from your experience!
Each emotion calls for different strategies to channelize the emotions and if we are aware, that will help us for growth.
Let us discuss each emotion and the method of channelizing in the coming weeks!
