5 FOUNDATIONS OF EMOTIONAL EDUCATION SELF-AWARENESS SOCIAL SKILLS SELF-REGULATION MOTIVATION EMPATHY FOUNDATIONS OF EMOTIONAL EDUCATION
SELF-AWARENESS Self-awareness is the capacity to identify one’s own strengths and weaknesses so that the former are capitalized and the latter are reduced. Frankness about the areas of weakness, being comfortable with oneself and having “a strong, positive sense of self-esteem" characterize people who have self-awareness.
SELF-REGULATION Self-regulation is related with self-awareness, but it more specifically describes the ability to control emotions, whether negative or positive, with a view to having behaviour more appropriate for professional practice and activity .
MOTIVATION Motivation is the engine for action, for life. It represents the wish for achievement, enthusiasm, drive, ambition, irrespective of obstacles.
EMPATHY This is the ability to recognize and understand other people’s emotions. What’s more, empathy will help us to establish close, high-quality links with healthy relationships, as it will enable us to establish bonds of respect, understanding and trust.
SOCIAL SKILLS These are necessary to form healthy bonds through our interpersonal relationships. This skill will allow you to interact successfully in society.
