Emotional Vocabulary

Definition

Emotional vocabulary refers to the words and phrases we use to describe and express our emotions. It's a crucial element of emotional intelligence.

Emotions

Definition

Feelings are our subjective experiences of emotions. They're the way we perceive and interpret our internal and external states, influencing our thoughts, behaviors, and interactions with the world.

Empathy

Definition

Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person. It's like stepping into their shoes and seeing the world through their eyes. When you're empathetic, you can feel what they're feeling, even if you've never been through the same experience yourself.

Empathy Video - Brene Brown

Video

Great short video on the power of empathy. What is the best way to ease someone's pain and suffering? In this beautifully animated RSA Short, Dr Brené Brown reminds us that we can only create a genuine empathic connection if we are brave enough to really get in touch with our own fragilities.

Employee Engagement

Definition

Employee engagement is the emotional commitment an employee feels towards their organization and its goals. It goes beyond mere job satisfaction; it's about feeling involved, enthusiastic, and invested in the success of the company.

Empowered Mindset

Definition

An empowered mindset is a belief system that emphasizes personal agency, internal control, and the ability to influence your life and experiences.

Endorphins

Definition

Endorphins are your body's natural "feel-good chemicals". They're neurotransmitters and hormones produced mainly in the pituitary gland and hypothalamus in your brain

Energy Vampire

Definition

The term "energy vampire" is not a scientific or clinical term, but rather a metaphor used to describe someone who is perceived to drain your emotional energy through their interactions with you. They often leave you feeling exhausted, depleted, and emotionally drained.

Enteric Nervous System

Definition

The enteric nervous system (ENS), also known as the second brain, is a complex network of nerves located in the walls of your digestive tract, from your esophagus to your rectum. It's often referred to as the "second brain" because it contains over 100 million neurons, more than the spinal cord, and can function independently to some degree from the central nervous system.

Eumphemism

Definition

A euphemism is a word or phrase used to indirectly refer to something considered sensitive, unpleasant, or taboo, often replacing it with a more neutral or inoffensive term. It's like a linguistic fig leaf, trying to cover up something potentially awkward or shocking with a more palatable expression.
