Yesterday
self leadership session of Anil’s sir was very inspiring. He started with the
session about the video of a girl in which the girl had lost her close friend
and she created a wall in which she had written “Before I die” and left many
blanks. So slowly people started writing about the dreams they want to achieve
they want to die and it became popular thing in other countries also. Then he
introduced the importance of emotional quotient (EQ) and appreciative enquiry.
Emotional
Intelligence as the word suggests is to control your emotions. So in the class
as taught as sir is that it can usually acquired early in
life through education & upbringing, it can’t be created in one day .It is
further enhanced through the ability to listen which we are not used to in real
life. We should always appreciate other’s and spread happiness to other’s . We did the appreciative enquiry among
ourselves and bring out the best out of each other .In real life we always
think that we haven’t got this , how we can achieve and if somebody succeed or
fair well than we crib and start questioning them . How he/she had done that
particular thing and we are lagging behind. So we start doing appreciative
enquiry and always appreciate other’s in any form of life.
In the
session we discussed and share the feelings about what had happened to Gaurav
and Rahul. So everybody shared the thoughts and their were mixed feelings for
them. Another session was about the difference between empathy and sympathy
where sir showcased the difference by the shoe example. , In which he told us
that just like you cannot wear anybody’s shoes without removing yours, same
thing happens when don’t try to understand one’s emotion. We should always take
the hat of the person who is expressing rather than putting our own hat.
Then
there was another session on happiness where shared our views why we are happy
or whom we are with in this world. The class formed circles
to express what they felt after last week’s crisis (losing our class mates) and
performed individual exercises on happiness – things that deprive us of
happiness are following:
-
Unstated emotional expectations of those I care
-
Regrets about the past
-
Guilt that I carry with me
