Tre' Giles’s Reviews > Why Emotions Matter: Recognize Your Body Signals. Grow in Emotional Intelligence. Discover an Embodied Spirituality. > Status Update

There is a difference in self-awareness and selfishness. I have been so scared to be seen as selfish, egotistical, and conceited that I learned to stuff any awareness about myself and to neglect my emotions. That causes deep pain in others I love. It limits my capacity to lead well in the Kingdom. Lord help me grow in self awareness, interpreting my emotions, and then having the wisdom to know how to proceed. Emotional intelligence leading to being emotionally healthy.

It seems spiritually necessary to be aware of our hearts at all times, nothing prideful about that at all! The self awareness of yours that I’ve experienced being your friend shows me you have a strong desire for God and to be a faithful leader amongst our people. I am guilty of suppressing emotions myself and becoming withdrawn at times so I understand the blowback that it causes our family and friends as well..the Lord has truly gifted you with a great heart Tre! All your roads are leading to loving others more responsibly and leading with more wisdom.
