💡 The Power of Naming Your Emotions
Most people say, “I feel bad.” That’s like pointing at the sky and saying, “weather.” Try saying instead: “I feel restless.” “I feel disappointed.” “I feel overlooked.” 🧠 The more precise your language, the clearer your mind becomes. More precision = more clarity. More clarity = more choice. That’s called emotional granularity, the ability to identify and label emotions accurately. Research shows that people with higher emotional granularity handle stress better, communicate more effectively, and bounce back faster. Naming what you feel doesn’t just describe your experience, it shapes it. 🌿 #EmotionalIntelligence #EQ #SelfAwareness #Leadership #EmotionalGranularity
