Exercise 5.1.1A Inside- Out

Instructions: This exercise is designed to help you become aware of how emotions are dealt with, on a
personal level. For each emotion, write what you do when you experience the emotion listed. Include
both productive and destructive behavior. Write as many as you can. You may use a separate sheet.

Emotion Productive Behavior Destructive Behavior

When I’m happy, I get more friendly
and more considerate with
everybody around me. And I get
more productive with each work
making it faster to do some things.
Happy
Too much happiness can result in a
false sense of positivity. This will lead
me into believing that because I am in
a state of happiness, doesn’t mean
that everybody is. With this in mind,
I’ll believe that everything is going on
my side and that everything is fine.

When  I’m feeling sad, I get to
reminisce with pleasure. And while
I’m sad, I get to think more about
Sad myself like how to move forward.
While I’m in this mood, I cannot do
any work properly and can’t ever
finish anything. I always feel drowsy
and timid when I’m sad which makes
my work underdone.

Being excited is one of my favorite I really enjoy the feeling of

moods because it makes my day
much more enjoyable. Whenever I
am excited about something, my
mindset becomes more positive and
Excited more motivated similar to how it is
when I am happy. The feeling of
excitement made me very
productive and interactive.
excitement, especially when doing
anything, and too much makes me
impulsive. Because of all the energy
within me, I rush too much into
things. I also tend to not think before
doing or saying something, which can
lead to misunderstanding and
misalignment in context.
 Being afraid is not exactly to-go-to
emotion when doing something.
Being afraid can make me more
adventurous with the unknown.
Afraid Especially if the result has
consequences, being afraid
motivates me to do something
about it.
When I am inspired, I become much
more efficient while doing stuff.
When any kind of inspiration structs,
I get all the job done fluidly with no
bother or interruption. Being
inspired really puts my life and my
purpose in life into perspective. I
Inspired know what I am supposed to do, and
I do not feel sad or annoyed doing
these things. Instead, I learn to love
doing these tasks when I am
inspired.
Anger is a feeling I am very much
accustomed to because of the
numerous times I have felt and
manifested it in actions. I would say
Angry that being angry is completely a
negative emotion, but it also puts
things in perspective.
As I said, being afraid makes me do
something adventurous but I am not
that unafraid to do everything.
Because I am not that courageous,
being afraid hinders me from almost
every opportunity I get in life.
There were instances when
inspiration stems from a mistaken
belief or thought. This outcome
pursues wrongful desires which might
be both dangerous to me and to
others or pursuing goals with the
wrong intention.
Being angry really takes a toll on my
words and actions. I tend to not think
whenever I am consumed by anger.
This results in saying or doing hurtful
things to others. I try my best to avoid
speaking or acting whenever I am
angry.
Exercise 5.1.1B Inside- Out

Instruction: After writing down your answers for Exercises 5.1.1A, answer the following questions:

1. Among the behaviors you listed, did you write down more productive behaviors or destructive
behaviors?
My optimism toward anything is through the roof. Considering that not all people are good, I
will still find goodness within them. I have listed more productive behavior because I will find
good things in any kind of emotion, whether happy or angry, sad or inspired, I will find
productive things that can help push through because at the of the day all you really need is you
pushing yourself towards life.

2. Identify the emotion where you had more productive behaviors? Which emotion did you have
more destructive behaviors?
The emotion that has a lot of productive behavior is inspired. There are a lot of good things that
can happen while being inspired. I can do a lot of school seat work that can be finished in a
matter of minutes and almost everything can be done immediately while being inspired.
Inspiration is the best thing in doing productive while being sad is the worst thing in doing
something. Sadness permeates and affects everything which will make it a lesser productive
environment. It will affect how I partake in things, I will feel drowsiness, depression and etc. Not
only that. It will also affect any output I do, even in a simple task like cleaning, nothing will stop
on not doing it correctly unless I resolve it with myself.

3. Are you more likely to have positive emotions or negative emotions? Explain your answer.
They are both the same, one of the things that are a burden. Even though I can become more
productive than ever, its downside will always slip through which I will work more on. I cannot
say that one outnumbers the other emotion because every emotion helped me grow into
becoming like this, a well-mannered, civilized student that will take on life forward, but the kind
that I am still learning more about who I am.

4. How do your emotions influence your sense of self?

Because of these series of emotions that I go through a lot, I become more aware on I should
perceive more of my surroundings while I’m in the euphoria of emotions. That I should become
more understanding of others while having these emotions and becoming more mature while in
any kind emotion both good and bad.

EXERCISE 5.2.1A Situations, Reactions, Consequences, and Peers
