Introduction
This self-reflection journal is about three emotions I experienced through three major events that happened to me. In this journal, I will be writing on the experience, cause, reaction, psychological explanation and the beneficial on all three emotions I had during this semester of my degree study.
Emotion 1
During the month of March this year, I finally got Miss A to be my girlfriend and I was really happy about it. She really means a lot to me and nothing or any events that can compare the feeling I have towards her. Miss A was never the kind of girl that I would ever thought that I could manage to date. Getting her as my girlfriend really gives me the feeling of getting the joy of my life. She is the person who makes me feel happy and also makes me want to tell the whole world about it.
I really want to share this joyful news to everyone especially in my class as she is also one of my classmates in college. But I was not allowed to do so as she was not ready to let everyone to know about it and she was also worried that the news might reach to her parents who sti...
What is an emotion? William James and Jean-Paul Sartre present two different arguments regarding what constitutes an emotion. This paper will explore William James' analysis of emotion as set out in his 1884 essay . It will attempt to discover the main points of his view, and then present Sartre's rebuttal of this view taken from his essay on emotions . Concluding with an explanation regarding why Sartre's account is flawed and James's argument is the stronger of the two, it will use outside examples to demonstrate the various weaknesses and strengths within the two perspectives.
At the start, there are concerns that mental toughness may not be enough to heal the wounds and begin anew. The author unleashes the reflection of the past year with distress
In “Assignment 1” we were given nine different topics to write about. However, all of the topics had one central theme, Reflection. For my essay I chose to focus on the fifth topic, which asked us to “Write about an incident when you felt alienated from your family, peers, or social group. Focus on a key scene or scenes that show what happened, why it was important, and how it affects
I looked forward to our time together and our relationship grew quickly. She loved to paint, read, and surprise me with her paintings. She encouraged me to work harder in school and to try new things rather than doing the same things day after day. Consequently, last year I took Painting I and
Although it is easy to face a challenge and get a solution within few minutes, some tragedies and traumas in life can take some time. For instance, if a beloved dies of cancer, how long can that situation last? It must be quite long. However, the author indicates that clients can overcome such life traumas if they spend some time relaxing, plying games, and maybe staying with loved ones. Again, one of the author’s clients believed that getting a negative review is the most traumatizing moment in his life.
Reflection as defined by the Oxford English dictionary (2012) as the action or process of thinking deeply about a subject, involving influence from one’s life and experiences, thus a reflective journal is designed to help me think deeply about my learning, especially on issues such as: my progress in learning, the difficulties I may have encountered in the process of learning, the strategies I have taken to get around those difficulties, and my evaluation of my own performance.
s one gets older in life, it 's easy to look back on life to see what you did right or wrong. For many, self-reflection can help one look back at the steps . It can also help pinpoint all the actions that led to the mistakes.
Using a reflective journal is a useful tool to implement into your life, whether it’s on paper or computer to write down any feelings, observations, visions and ideas can be a great way to focus your thoughts and develop new ideas. Reflecting upon past events and beginning to understand the processes behind them and the experience gained from it can be one of the most effective ways to evaluate yourself (Macbeth,
I have always been one to spend my time watching things that others wouldn 't think to watch. I have seen things like “The Wind Rises” by Hayao Miyazaki, “Queen” by Vikas Bahl and my favorite “Mary Kom” by Omung Kumar. From documentaries to animes, to silent films. I have dabbled in a little of everything so far. I am known to watch a few of these to pass my summer as well. So, when it came time to watch the foreign film “The Lives of Others” directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, I was fully aware of what to expect. From the subtitles to funny English accents, to sharpening my skill of being able to read the words and focus on the action at hand. You could say I 'm somewhat of an expert in those areas. Thank you anime! The movie was
Psychology deals with the study of mental processes and a variety of behaviors. In order to fully comprehend ourselves, we need to understand the causes of our behaviors and our outlook on life. Habits and behaviors have positive and negative effects in our life. When we know ourselves and learn about our unique personality, we can develop and pursue goals. Psychology also helps us to understand other people and the differences of people. Gaining this knowledge can improve the relationships and enhance our communication skills. Throughout the psychology course I gained knowledge in various areas, and the topics that impacted me the most included: the introvert, anxiety disorders, stress management, self discipline and how to develop strong relationships.
I cannot lie, especially in a paper my Bible teacher will be reading! I have struggled to accomplish this assignment. For weeks, I continually have forgot to read my Bible or do a long just me and God prayer. Not weeks at a time per say, there were many nights however, I would finish my homework, crawl into bed at 12, after my roommate and I had turned off the lights, and remember I had not done my Bible reading that day. This of course was a good time to have a me and God talk, but I would have trouble staying on task. After all, it was late, I was tired, and I had a lot on my mind! None of these are excuses which is why in my reflection I have decided to share the ways I used to get myself in the habit of reading, and prayer, as well as what
It was one of the most exciting and nerve racking days of our lives. Although we were finally leaving high school, the feeling of being unsure didn’t go away. The whole day was full of practicing for the big moment when the entire class graduated on to a new beginning. All the girls wore shiny bright red robes and the guys were dressed in a shiny navy blue. Standing there, I had no idea what to expect. Some things I were aware of, my friends were leaving and we wouldn’t be the same friends anymore. My role was that of being so aware of the future that I was too shocked to soak in the present; being a pessimist was my main goal and everything I was sure of became true.
Personality is the expression of a person’s traits according to ones feelings, mentality and behavior. It involves understanding individuals’ traits such as withdrawal and willpower and how various parts of an individual link together to form personality. Personality expresses itself from within an individual and is comparatively regular throughout in an individual’s life. Different people have different personalities dependent on factors such as environment and genetic composition. Our personality is dependent on the success or failure of our development in the eight stages of life. This is proposed by Erik Erikson. Success in the development stages lead to virtues while the failure leads to malignancies.
Have you ever wondered why people have certain reactions? I chose chapter eight on emotions for my reflection paper because emotions are something that everyone has and feels, yet cannot always explain or react to in the way you would expect. Personally, I have never been great at responding to emotions in a way that I would not regret in the future. Thus, naturally being drawn to this chapter as a way to expand my knowledge on how to react to things more positively. I also wanted to learn why I feel a certain way after events that would not affect most people and be reassured about my feelings. Opposite to that, it is nice to see that, while not always productive, others have the same reaction habits. Overall, emotions are a complicated
A reflection of the self is an important tool to use to figure out whether or not your self-concept provides you with a positive self-esteem. First ask yourself, ‘who am I?’ and once you figure that out, determine if your perception of yourself is a positive one. If it’s not positive, you might want to consider making a change very quickly in order to live a fulfilling life. An even more important tool is to compare your own self-concept to the perception others have of you. I interviewed four people and asked them three questions. Those questions were as follows. “How do you perceive me physically? How do you perceive me socially? How do you perceive me psychologically?” Their overall physical perception of me is, I am beautiful,
