Nervous System Regulation and Somatic Processing: The Basics

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.What’s emotional intelligence about? Emotional intelligence is about using your emotions to inform your thinking and using your thinking to understand and manage your emotions.For many of us, with so many competing demands, concerns and commitments in our lives, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and stressed, to become unsure and confused, to misunderstand or be misunderstood by others.With emotional intelligence, by understanding your emotions and how to manage them, you are better able to express how you feel, what you want and don’t want, while at the same time acknowledging and understanding how others are feeling and behaving.It’s a dynamic process; the extent to which you can understand and manage your own emotions influences your ability to understand and manage other people’s emotions. And the more you understand other people’s emotions, their intentions, motivations and behavior, the more appropriately you can respond and the more effectively you can interact with them.Emotional intelligence can help you to live and work with others more easily; forge stronger relationships, both in your personal life and at work. You are more able to sense and manage the emotional needs of others. You are more able to think before responding and know to give yourself and others time to calm down if emotions become overwhelming.Developing your emotional intelligence can help you to lead a happier life because thinking and behaving rationally and calmly in difficult situations puts you in a better position to handle feelings and situations that you may have found difficult and challenging in the past.But emotional intelligence is not only about understanding and managing difficult situations and emotions. It’s also about knowing how to engage the ‘feel good’ emotions that can give you and other people positivity, confidence, support, motivation and inspiration.

Course Introduction: Often in life... we drift off from our goals, we let life take the course for us...we lose control of the steering wheel. This loss of control makes us sad and subject to feelings of dejection, self rebuke, inadequacy, and hopelessness. Basically what is typically called "low levels of Motivation". We become like machines that have controls elsewhere-in someone else or in something else. You start to stagnate and just like water develops a stench when it stagnates, we too lose our charisma and passion. Are you looking at some eternal factors or events in your life to drive your motivation levels? Don't do that...because that is a wrong association. No one or nothing can drive your motivation levels, because the power to stay motivated lies within you. If you continue to look at external sources you will experience sadness and end up feeling inadequate. Most people have reasonably high motivation levels but have the tough task of dealing with partners, colleagues, friends, teammates, or team members with extremely low motivation levels. People who lack zeal, enthusiasm and are very pessimistic and low on energy. Audience: This course is recommended for everyone, especially for people who need to enhance their motivation levels, to make motivation a habit, a way of life, and want to derive unlimited benefit in life. Mostly also for people who lead teams, who need to motivate people in their environment and help people change their lives for the better. Course Description: This course is designed to help you check your inner motivation levels, it equips you with the psyche of motivation, the theories of motivation teaches you to understand the drivers of motivation and empowers you to not only motivate yourself, but also motivate people, teams, and everyone who comes in contact with you or in your environment. You must have met a lot of people in your life who despite life's challenges display and p
