There's self-awareness like, Mark, how are you feeling right now? And I'm, you know, I'm having mixed emotions, right? This is, a great podcast. I want to be articulate. I'm excited, but I'm a little overwhelmed because I got so much I want to share, but I don't know how much I'm going to share. So there's all that awareness of my emotion. Sometimes I have language for it.

Sometimes I don't, like any of us. And that's why it starts off with kind of just a general awareness. Like, am I pleasant? Am I unpleasant? Do I have a lot of energy or do I feel depleted? And we call that your core affect. And then I could start asking myself questions like, well, what are you doing right now, Mark? Well, I'm sitting across from Andrew.

Being interviewed, okay, well, how does that, what comes up for you with that? And then I try to label that feeling. So that's like the R, the U, and the L of emotional intelligence for the self. And I'm doing the same thing for you. I'm looking at your facial expressions, your body language, I'm listening to you. I'm trying to understand if I say something, do you shift?

And I'm trying to put language to it. So it's self and other.

Well, I think another big deal about emotional intelligence is that we like to think of it as, or people think of it as, this construct. I don't think that's the best way to look at it. I think it's much more interesting to look at it as a set of discrete skills that come together. They're not that highly correlated. And so I really like to think of them as emotion skills.

And that within the R, the U, the L, the E and the R that I described, there are sub skills. And so part of what you're talking about is the body awareness. Some people are more cognitive, you know, they're just very language oriented. Some people, you know, a lot of therapists, somatic, you know, talking about somatosensory things, all good.

I think at the end though, you know, this is why I teach this stuff is that we have to know how we feel. We got to know what we want to do with those feelings. And we have to know how the people we live with and love and work with and teach how they feel too. And so we need language in the end.

Yeah, so I'm very similar to Lisa in terms of there are emotion concepts or categories. Well, let's use the anger category. If you only have one word for anger, that means all you know is there's one form of anger. But if you start teaching people, well, there are other words that we could use like peeved, irritated.
