It's not a common practice to talk about emotions.

Being called emotional or giving too much authority to emotions has even been seen as a negative quality.

At Inward Office, we travel to businesses in Upstate NY to teach mindfulness in the workplace, so emotions can be addressed professionally and positively to empower employees and business owners.

To begin, we need to recognize all the different experiences that we have on a neuro-biological level. Emotions are a part of being human. So are body sensations, thoughts, needs and expectations. All of these can impact the way we act in the world.

For example, we get into a car accident in the morning. We are full of thoughts and emotions, and it affects how we talk to our colleagues during then day because of our pre-occupation with our morning experience. This is completely normal and ignoring our emotions can only have detrimental effects to individuals as well as the culture within the workplace.

Use the list below to begin to improve your emotional literacy. and recognize which emotions are most common within your workplace.

Noticing emotions isn't a negative thing. It's my experience that as soon as I can name the emotion, it's hold on my mind and body seems to let go.

If any of these negative emotions are present within your workplace and you feel the impact of unmet needs, consider scheduling one of our workshops that address theses negative emotions to transform your workplace. We recommend our Nonviolent Communication workshops, Empathetic Communication, Mindful Communication, Mindfulness at Work, or we can customize a workshop for your needs. All of these workshops can also be held online nation wide.

The difference that meeting theses needs can make in your workplace is significant.
