ABSTRACTION (10 minutes)

Emotions are clearly personal, as they often project what we’re feeling on the
inside to those around us whether we want it to show or not. Emotions are also
interpersonal in that another person’s show of emotion usually triggers a reaction
from us—perhaps support if the person is a close friend or awkwardness if the
person is a stranger.

Guidelines for Communicating Emotions Clearly  

a. To become more aware of your emotions Identify your

emotions:, give mindful attention to your inner self. Just as
people learn to ignore their feelings, we can teach ourselves to
notice and heed them. When sorting out intermingled feelings it’s
useful to identify the primary or main feeling. 

b. Choose how to communicate your emotions: Once you

know what you feel, you consider how to express your emotions.
The choice facing you is whether you want to communicate your
emotions to particular people. Sometimes it is wise and

compassionate not to tell how you feel.  If you decide you want to
communicate your emotions:  

        Evaluate your current state. (According to Daniel

Goleman, it takes about 20 minutes for us to cleanse
our minds and bodies of anger.)

        Decide to whom you want to express your feelings.

Choosing someone else to express your emotions to
can allow you to “vent” without imposing them on
others who might be hurt.

        Select an appropriate time to discuss feelings. Most

of us are not able to respond appropriately when we
are preoccupied, defensive, stressed, rushed or tired.

        Select a setting for discussing feelings.  

c. Own your feelings: When we use “I” language to describe how

we feel when another person behaves in a particular way, we
allow the other person to listen thoughtfully and respond
sensitively to our expression of emotion. 

d. Monitor your self-talk: tuning into your self-talk and learning to monitor
it helps you    manage your emotions.

e. Respond Sensitively When Others Communicate Emotions: Try not to

respond to another’s feelings with generalities (“You’ll feel better when
you get this in perspective.”) or solve another person’s problem or make
the feeling go away.  Helping another solve a problem may be
appreciated, but usually it’s not the first support a person needs when
she or he is expressing a strong emotion. What many people need first
is just the freedom to express what they are feeling to others.

APPLICATION (30 minutes)

Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and

South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will

you join in that historic effort?

In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the

role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this

responsibility — I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange

places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the

devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it

— and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask

what you can do for your country.

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what

together we can do for the freedom of man.
