Emotions can influence our lives in many ways. One researcher gives the definition that “emotions are reactions human beings experience in response to events or situations” and the kind of emotion experienced comes from a circumstance that triggers the emotion.

We spend the majority of our lives working in a place and that work produces feelings … good, neutral and negative feelings. When we have not learned to name, process, and integrate those emotions, they can derail our mental health and our productivity at work.

Read this month's blog and learn how you as leaders and managers can positively impact your company culture by creating an environment where team members can name their emotions and allow space to process them.

When you’re anxious, angry or upset, do you wish you had a magic button to calm yourself down? Well, I have good news. Recent neuroscience reveals a remarkable attribute of our brains that isn’t exactly a magic calming button, but it’s pretty darn close.

Learn more about how naming your emotions can reduce anxiety and get you moving again.

Your mother always told you that if something was bothering you, you should talk about it. It would make you feel better. Turns out she was right, and researchers at the School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering have the science to prove it.

A team analyzed Twitter feeds of tens of thousands of users to study how emotions change before and after they were explicitly stated.

Emotional labeling is naming emotions with greater specificity. It is the practice of cultivating emotional literacy by identifying what you are feeling as you’re experiencing it in order to create distance from your reaction.

Instead of opting for vague surface-level descriptors like, “I’m fine,” “I’m okay,” you lean into the highly complex, nuanced spectrum of emotions available, which allows you to be happier, more effective, and productive.

Emotional clarity & regulation at work is paramount.

In a time and age when mental health issues are on the rise, 50% of Americans are quiet quitting, and happiness in America is at an all-time low, naming emotions is one immediate way we can change our cultures at work and allow space and time for the processing of emotions.

And guess what? The research shares that just NAMING the emotion is important. We don’t need to act on the information. We can simply listen, empathize, and encourage, allowing (and empowering) employees to learn neutralize their own feelings.
