Development of Emotional Competence
by Michelle L. GreenEmotional responses can become arousing, disturbing, exciting, sensitive, emotive, etc but with each reaction, these responses affect us. Controlling your emotional response to various situations requires a conscious effort to develope your emotional competence.
Emotions will affect our viewpoints, behaviors, attitudes, and so on. When we have emotive reactions, sometimes it causes controversial responses, or we may feel sensitive. When we feel touchy, it is often because someone touched a sore spot. When this happens, we may act out angrily, sad, or downhearted.
These actions occur simply because a body has not developed his or her emotional competence. When we have emotional competence, it advances our aptitude, skills, abilities, proficiency and our fitness. We advance from experiences and it shows in our attitude.
To develop emotional competence, we must consider strategies. Some of the latest strategies promoted today include subliminal learning, which I personally recommend. When you explore the subconscious mind, you enter without awareness the existing mind to explore past learning, experiences and so on. Once you develop this area, the rest is downhill travel.
Using meditation as a complement of this learning strategy can enhance your ability to develop emotional competence. Meditation guides you to relaxation, which is necessary when exploring your subconscious mind.
