Conflict Log
After a week of keeping track of my emotions that I experience on a day-to-day basis, I was able to understand what I was feeling, and also why I was feeling that way. The textbook defines emotions as “modes of functioning, shaped by natural selection, that coordinate physiological, cognitive, motivational, behavioral, and subjective responses in patterns that increase the ability to meet the adaptive challenges of situations that have recurred over evolutionary time” (Hocker, 2021). I experienced many different emotions this week, but the ones I noticed the most were my emotions of being stressed, upset, and happy. Most of the time I
was happy, but when I wasn’t happy, I was either stressed or upset, whether it was because of school or work. The belief that I have that causes these emotions is that I am doing well in life, or feel the need to get good grades in school, as well as do well at work. When I am at work, it can get really busy and stressful sometimes, which causes me to get stressed out, especially since
I hold myself to a high standard. I also believe that my worldview as a Christian affects and influences how I deal with my emotions because when I am stressed out or upset, I end up turning to God in prayer, and ask him for help and guidance. Even in situations when I am happy, I still turn to God in prayer in order to thank him for his goodness and grace. Deep down inside, I know that God has a plan for me, and I am a strong believer in everything happening for
a reason. I know that I am able to communicate my emotions in a more constructive way by talking to my family and friends in situations when I am stressed out. I noticed that most of the time, I tend to hold in my emotions until they’re “gone”, but I know I need to do a better job at expressing them. Aside from just talking to family and friends about my emotions, I can also write down what I am feeling and experiencing in a journal, that way I am able to properly address my emotions.
