3.To assist yourself is identifying your feelings, using the appropriate language, go to Dr. Karla McLaren’s website and use/download her Your Emotional Vocabulary List freely available for you to use. https://karlamclaren.com/emotional-vocabulary-page/ Using McLaren’s definitions for each emotion/feeling you identify, answer this question accordingly: for Process Moments #3, #4, #7 and #8, you will likely explain your feelings as you briefly write down and describe the key ideas, words, feelings, images you recall from your Mental Notes and your WRITTEN Note Paper Notes you wrote down about your Exercise #A or #B A-R-S:

Your EXAM ANSWERING TEMPLATE – Your Required Answers to Each 11 Process Moments Exercises:

Process Moment #1 – Preparation for Visualization/Decoding

YOU MUST: briefly describe how you felt and what feelings/thoughts you had;

Process Moment #2 – Visualization

YOU MUST: briefly describe the extent of how clearly and vividly you re-experienced your mental movie;

Process Moment #3 – Questioning (Your Mental Movie Note-Taking)

YOU MUST: write down a few of the memory flashes, images, sounds, hunches, whether random material that popped into you mind as recall from the mental movie scene.

Process Moment #4 – Questioning With Written Notes

YOU MUST:

write those written notes you recorded in your notes;

Process Moment #5 – Questioning 4 Universal Pairs of Wants/Not Wants

YOU MUST:

a.Write down the specific 4 universal pairs of feelings human wants versus not-wants which applied to your Action-Reaction Situation. Briefly list and describe those specific 8 universal wants/feelings, you experienced during your Action-Reaction Situation, which you recorded in your notes during this Process Moment #5 Exercise.

b.Explain precisely and logically why you interpreted your Action-Reaction Situation (Exercise #A or #B) to be the universal want(s)/feeling(s) you chose? Explain your reasoning in terms of the situation you’ve described in the A-R-S.

Process Moment #6 – Questioning Your Maslow’s Needs Hierarchy

YOU MUST:

a.Write down the specific Maslow’s Needs applying to your Action-Reaction Situation. Write down below which 1 or more of the 5 Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, you recorded in your notes during the during this Process Moment #6 Exercise.

b.Explain precisely and logically why you interpreted your Action-Reaction Situation (Exercise #A or #B) to be the Maslow need(s) you chose? Explain your reasoning in terms of the situation you’ve described in the A-R-S.

Process Moment #7 – Journaling (Your Mental Movie Clips)

YOU MUST: Just list only the top 5 “impressions” of what should have been many, many more “impressions” you’ve written down. You should have randomly jotted down these “impressions” in your Journaling. These top 5 “impressions” should be those mental content that you feel comfortable sharing from your journaling notes about your Mental Movie video clips. Types of “impressions” you MAY have experienced and written down randomly, as these occurred in your mind, are: key words, key feelings and emotions, key thought and impressions, symbols, colors, people you know, pets, celebrities, memory flashes occurring, etc. that you were experiencing.

Process Moment #8 – Follow-up Questions for your Journaling – THIS DECODING SESSION “PULLS TOGETHER” ALL OF THE ABOVE PROCESS MOMENT ACTIVITIES TO HELP YOU FIGURE OUT A LOT OF YOUR LESSON-TO-LEARN OVERALL. THEREFORE, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS BELOW FOR ONLY THE OVERALL THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS OCCURRING DURING THE ACTION-REACTION SITUATION YOU ARE DECODING.

Answer EACH question for the dominant THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS associated with the overall event you are decoding. This means that, in this Process Moment #8, you are NOT answering these questions about the top 5 “impressions” you just listed above.

But here you’re meant to reflect upon and write about the your overall major “THOUGHT(s)” and major “FEELING(S)” that occurred to you during the Action-Reaction Situation (I.E., THE MID-TERM EXERCISE #A – An Emotional Argument Between You and a Personal Friend Awareness” or EXERCISE #B – A Workplace Interpersonal Conflict Between You and A Co-Worker (or Manager)).

I.YOU MUST: ANSWER THE 7 QUESTIONS REFLECTING UPON THE overall major “THOUGHT(s)” YOU WERE THINKING AT THE TIME OF THE ACTION-REACTION SITUATION:

1.“Why did I think those specific thoughts in that situation with that person?”

•In Mindful State, notice the clues flowing through your mind;

•Write the key points describing this

•Pause until you’ve recorded your description in your journal;

2.“What’s the significance and meaning of the thoughts I experienced?”

•In Mindful State, notice the clues flowing through your mind;

•Write the key points describing this

•Pause until you’ve recorded your description in your journal;

Process Moment #9 – Figuring Out Your Lesson-To-Learn

YOU MUST: ANSWER EACH OF EAKMAN’S FACTORS BELOW AS IT RELATES TO YOUR ACTION-REACTION SITUATION:

Factor 1.- How close your trigger response in the Action-Reaction Situation was to a universal emotional response? (universal emotions: fear, aggression, sadness/depression, anger, delight, desire, excitement, joy, disgust, shame/embarrassment, optimism, pessimism, and enthusiasm);

Factor 2.- How close your trigger event in the Action-Reaction Situation resembled a past deeper learned trigger response? (for example, an open emotional wound stemming from unresolved childhood trauma);

Factor 3.- How early in your life did you learn such a triggered response? (the earlier, the more difficult to overcome);

Factor 4.- How intense was your emotional charge was when you experienced that learned triggered response in your past? (the more intense the events, the more powerful their raw emotional hijacking ability);

Factor 5. – How frequently you experienced the events that created your past learned triggered response? (the more frequent, the more entrenched the tendency to react in a particular way);

Factor 6.- your unique emotional behavior style—a. How fast do you respond emotionally? b. How intense your emotional responses are? and b. How long it takes for you to recover from the emotional trigger event? Answer all three.

Process Moment #10 – Connect-The-Dots

YOU MUST: YOU MUST: briefly describe the general pattern/picture of meaning and significance you’ve have generalized from the Process Moments #1 to #9 content, impressions and answers to questions given above. By this point, such a set of generalized meanings should have occurred to you. Write these generalizations down here.

Process Moment #11 – Briefly Describe Your Lesson-To-Learn

YOU MUST: Now you are able to succinctly describe what you think this lesson-to-learn in terms to state: My decoding of the Action-Reaction-Situation (Exercise #A or #B) has shown me that I must change (you state clearly and concisely what those specific changes you need to make).
