#22: UpSkill — Emotional Awareness, Will Smith & The Importance of Six Seconds (1 of 2)


Listen Later

Anywhere human beings show up is a space filled with emotions.

Emotions formed from our backgrounds, values and our experiences. 

In this timely and poignant episode, Michel looks out the "Will Smith Incident" through the lens of emotional awareness.

What are emotions?

Emotions are simply a class of feelings that sends us signals about what is happening around us. 

Under normal circumstances, our emotions are easy to observe and control. 

However, emotions rise as they get closer and closer to our boundaries. 

And once an emotion meets a boundary, anger presents itself. Sometimes leading to violence.

The first six seconds of an emotional experience is a physiological involuntary response. But, after the first six seconds, we are back 100% in control of our emotions.

Additionally, Michel shares a powerful strategy to navigating these situations as they might rise for you.
