Talking Points
Emotions are a vital part of our daily lives. They help us understand how we and others are feeling. As Maya Angelou said, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
It's important to be able to recognize and express our emotions. According to Daniel Goleman, "In a very real sense, we have two minds, one that thinks and one that feels."
By practicing with task cards, flashcards, and pictures, we can improve our emotional intelligence. Remember, as Brene Brown said, "Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we'll ever do."
