Emotions and Values

Every person has its own core values. whether they’re visible and  intentional or not, they inform all aspects of the person’s life. from this point we define our life purpose and attitudes and behaviours.

Values that are clearly spelt out, clearly understood and shared provide an anchor and a source of energy, inspiration and commitment to accomplishing things because they all are all emotions-based.

The lack of these leads to uncertainty over decisions and directions, conflict and half- hearted commitment to action.

Many of us were brought up believing we should keep emotions to ourselves – that  they get in the way of rational life and work practices. But you can’t keep emotions out of your daily life. They play a positive role in doing good in life – just as much as they do sometimes get in the way.

There’s now a better understanding and  recognition that emotions matter for good work, good relationships and a good life, school and life in general.

Emotions drive everything we do. 

-They Influence our moods, decisions, actions – our entire outlook on life and work.

-They have a big impact on how we behave and how well we get along with others.

-Emotions have a tremendous health impact due to a direct link between the immune system and emotional centres.

-Emotions Have a lot to do with how much respect, support and positivity we have for others and for ourselves.

They determine how satisfied, motivated, happy, healthy and effective we are in work and life.

Values should be defined as the core of every person, team, culture or organisation.

Whether they’re visible, intentional or not, they inform all aspects of a person or an organisational life, from how we define our purpose and go about. 

When values are clearly spelt out, commonly understood and shared provide an anchor and a source of energy, inspiration and commitment to accomplishing things and  matter and which are all EMOTIONS-based.
