MC02-Lesson 2: Sources of Emotional Reactivity

๐Ÿงฉ Emotional Reactivity

Learning Outcome

Analyse how stress and emotion influence decision-making (Explore).

๐Ÿ“˜

Triggers

People, environments, or situations that activate strong emotional responses.

Example

Load-shedding happens mid-task, and irritation spikesโ€”not because of the electricity but because it disrupts your sense of control.

๐Ÿ“˜

Stress Accumulation

Stress builds up like pressure in a foundation. Without release, even minor issues can cause emotional cracks.

๐Ÿ“˜

Fear and Uncertainty

Courage does not remove fearโ€”it helps you move through it.

๐Ÿ“˜

Expectations and Attachment

Disappointment often comes from expecting a straight road in a curvy world.

๐Ÿ“˜

Past Failures

If not reframed, failures create avoidance. When reframed, they become growth fuel.
