1. Answer (150-200 words): Why must you be grateful for all kinds of emotions? When can you
say that an emotion is no longer helpful, and what can you do to address it? Relate this more to
your personality, personal experiences, etc.

Being grateful for our emotions helps us respond to others’ emotions in an appropriate
manner, as well as establish deeper and more meaningful relationships with friends, family, and
loved ones. In my case, as a sociable and charismatic person, I often engage myself in meaningful
interactions and connections by being socially aware, being of service, and compassionate to
other people’s problems and needs at any cost.

Emotions are no longer helpful whenever we lose ourselves to hate, anger, jealousy and
fear. Whenever these bad or negative emotions cloud our judgements and decisions, we end up
hurting ourselves, making careless and bad decisions in life. Thus, this may negatively affect the
way we think, feel, and behave towards others negatively.

To address this, I must be aware of my bad emotions to identify better when to release or
repress them at the right place and the right time. Second, I must not blame other people for losing
control of my hateful and rageful emotions. Lastly, I must be reasonable with myself and with my
emotions by acknowledging my emotions as natural and understandable. By accepting my
emotions, I may be able to find better ways to make myself feel better and move forward.

2. Make a playlist with at least five songs that keep you in a healthy disposition or have helped you
go through the tough times.

1. Song to Siren by Rose Betts

2. Stand by You by Rachel Platten
3. Livin’ on a Prayer by Bon Jovi
4. Under Pressure by Queen
5. Lean on Me by Michael Bolton

3. Write a short description of how each song has helped you with emotion management. Relate
this to the concepts learned in class

1. Song to Siren by Rose Betts:

This song helps manage my emotions by reframing my thoughts and feelings in a

light and less stressful manner due to its gentle and slow-paced rhythm. It aids me to
control my emotions by acknowledging and being reasonable with it. By just listening to
the song, it really makes me see and understand my mistakes, as well as telling me what to
do to control my feelings better, how to put them in check and to never repeat the same
mistakes again.

2. Stand by You by Rachel Platten:

This song helps me bring out positive emotions by feeling good, hopeful, and happy
for myself through tough times.

3. Livin’ on a Prayer by Bon Jovi:

This song manges to control my emotions by seeing things in optimistic and a

hopeful perspective towards life and my future career despite hurdles and challenges
ahead. Also, this song relates to one of our concepts in our discussion, particularly
Resilience and Self-Efficacy. This is because it encourages us to be resilient and persevere
through difficult or dire situations no matter what.

4. Under Pressure by Queen:

Furthermore, Under Pressure by Queen also contributes to my emotional

management because it not only encourages me to persevere in the face of difficulty or
tragedy but also to feel love and care for one another by helping each other and being
empathetic. Through our emotions of love, it encourages me to care for others who are
struggling and facing terrible pressures alone in life. Despite being under pressure, it tells
me that I should continue to love, endure the pain and hardship, and to be resilient for our
loved ones for better or for worse.

5. Lean on Me by Michael Bolton:

Lastly, the song, Lean on Me, helps me to be aware of my emotions and to keep them
in check always by accepting that I have problems or issues that can only be resolved
through the support of a friend, family, or loved one. This song somehow relates to one of
our discussions on the purpose of emotions, which is Socialization. Expressing or showing
our emotions to others can help us empathize with them and understand how they are
feeling. Because of this, this song encourages me to emotionally seek support or help from
others whenever I lack physical or mental strength.
