Guide to Emotions
Below is the emotional card, which, IMHO, is convenient for the work of a practicing psychologist and is quite simple and understandable to a person who comes to a psychologist as a client. The described map includes 12 emotional spheres. The emotional sphere is a set of emotions that are close to each other in meaning or strategy for interacting with the outside world.
To effectively read a map, several assumptions need to be made.
By emotion I mean a psychophysiological phenomenon that defines a situation or our attitude towards it (an indicative label), changes a person’s activity (that is, carries an energetic charge) and directs his perception, thinking and actions (motivates).
Within each sphere there are emotions, just differing in intensity. For example, fear and horror. Or there are emotions that have different meanings, but a similar attitude towards another person or situation. For example, envy and pride. These emotions have different meanings, but they both reflect your desire to be superior to the people around you (pride = “I am the navel of the earth,” envy = “I should have as much as the other person” / “the worse I am”).
At the same time, I am aware (and I advise you) that the separation of emotions is a rather conditional thing. After all, emotions can easily coexist with each other, that is, arise simultaneously. For example, a surprise can be both surprise and joy (or disappointment if you didn't like it).
Emotions can also easily combine to create a complex feeling. For example, jealousy combines: anger, fear, guilt and greed. However, in order for you to have a strong emotional foundation, such separation is simply necessary.
In addition, you have to remember the existence of homonyms (same spelling, but different meaning). Emotional homonyms also exist. So, for example, pity can relate to both the sphere of loneliness (I lack attention) and the sphere of superiority (I will help this unfortunate person). Or, for example, annoyance, which can be both in the sphere of loss of meaning (as the quintessence of disappointment) and in the sphere of conscience (when it comes to self-flagellation).
The location of emotional spheres on the map is largely determined by the fact that some emotional spheres are complete or partial antagonists to each other. Although this is a rather conditional assumption. After all, colors are the perfect metaphor for emotions. Yes, White color In many respects it is opposed to black, and the warm part of the color palette is cold. But this only works for pairwise comparisons. In the painting, the colors are mixed into a unique pattern.
In the list within the sphere, emotions are arranged in order from less intense (background) to more intense (affects).
At the same time, emotions and feelings are located in the same area. Maybe it's not the most the right approach from point of view theoretical model, but very convenient in practice.

Hi all! Today I will tell you about mind maps. I first met them during a training session.
To gain access to a new lesson, you had to complete homework. And one of the points was to draw up a mind map of the lesson completed.
At first I thought it was pointless. But after making a few cards, I realized how brilliant this method is.
Now, in order to remember some points of the lesson, there is no point in watching it again. Just look at the map and everything you need will immediately come to mind. It's really cool!
But let's talk about everything in order. I'll tell you what, why and how.
What are mind maps
A mind map (mental map, mind map, mind map, associative map, mind map) is a graphical way to present ideas, concepts, information in the form of a map consisting of key and secondary topics. That is, it is a tool for structuring ideas.
Map structure:
- Central idea: question, subject of study, purpose;
- Key topics: structure, headings;
- Subtopics: detailing key topics.
To create mind maps we use keywords, pictures, symbols. But, as they say, it’s better to see once. Therefore, I offer several examples of mind maps:
Examples of mind maps
There are many ways to create maps, both simple and complex.
One of the blog articles is dedicated to the 6 hats method. If you haven't read it yet, then you should.
And a couple more examples:
Use both sides of your brain
Why are mind maps better than traditional notes?
This method, created by Tony Buzan, is taught to Finnish schoolchildren younger age. And Finland has the best academic performance among European countries.
This way of taking notes is playful, fun and enjoyable to use. Simply listing a few keywords and then organizing them logically can generate new ideas and also encourage more employee engagement during meetings.
Research by Tony Buzan (a cognitive scientist) emphasizes the dominant role of the left hemisphere, both in school and in society at large, to the detriment of the right hemisphere.
The left hemisphere is responsible for words, the hierarchy of ideas, numbers, while the right is associated with creativity, it controls space, analyzes information through colors and rhythms.
In a nutshell, left hemisphere is responsible for logic, and the right is for creativity.
When taking regular notes, you use only the left hemisphere, but when creating mind maps, you use both hemispheres.
A mind map combines text with images. A parallel can be drawn with the difference between and a film: it is easier to remember a film, since it consists of images and sounds.
If you want to learn more about mind maps and increase your productivity with them, then this is the place for you.
Scope of application
Cards can be used for:
- memorizing the contents of books and courses,
- taking notes,
- searching for new ideas,
- solving complex problems,
- memorizing speeches,
- structuring ideas,
- memorizing movies,
- for memory training
- to develop creative abilities,
- for organizing events,
- to start the project.
If you are a blogger, then you can use cards when creating a course or e-book, to write down new ideas for articles, to draw up a plan for working on a blog, to give a presentation.
You can also use the mind map as a sign-up bonus. In addition, you can create a map to remember the main ideas from.
How to make a mind map
To create a map you will need a sheet of paper, pencils or colored pens. At the same time, take your mind off the computer.
You always start from the center of the page. This is the heart of your mental map. You can write a word that symbolizes your problem, such as “vacation 2015,” or draw a picture that symbolizes it.
Do you need to be good at drawing to create a map? No! This is a misconception. You create a mind map for you. The main thing is that you can recognize what is drawn!
Around the central idea you note key themes. Use colors!
Your brain loves colors and will remember information better! Use only one word per topic!
You need to write not sentences, but concepts, keywords! Draw more, a small picture is worth a thousand words! Sometimes you can even replace words entirely with pictures.
For example, instead of writing “phone call,” you can draw a phone, your brain will remember the image better.
Perhaps the first map will not be perfect, but over time you will become a master in this matter. By the way, this method can be used to create .
Creating a mind map is a fun task, but you should set aside a certain time limit for this activity in advance, otherwise you may spend more time than necessary and add unnecessary elements to the map.
If you think that you are not capable of drawing, then this is not a problem. There are special services with which you can create a mind map online for free in no time.
I talk about one of them in the video.
The basis for creating mind maps is the process of radiant thinking. Its essence is as follows: a certain main theme is taken, and then from it, like rays from the sun or branches from a tree trunk, various ideas are built, one way or another connected with the main theme. Connections between different branches are also established. Each new idea(branch) becomes starting point to continue this process, that is, the ideas associated with it again depart from it. In principle, this process can be endless. Here are some simple rules, which describe such a thinking process.
So, we decided to draw a mind map. The sequence of our actions is as follows:
1. Take a sheet of A4 or A3 paper and colored pencils, pens or felt-tip pens.
2. We lay the sheet horizontally and in its center with a picture or one or two words we indicate the main concept or problem being analyzed (business plan, summer vacation, healthy image life, bank loan, speech plan, article content, agenda, etc.) We circle this concept in a frame or circle.
3. From the central object we draw branches in different directions - the main concepts, properties, associations, aspects associated with it. We draw the branches in color. We sign each one with one or two words, legibly, preferably even in block letters. When drawing a mind map, we apply as much as possible more colors and use drawings as often as possible.
4. From each branch we draw several thinner branches - development of associations, clarification of concepts, detailing of properties, specification of directions.
5. Separate the semantic blocks with lines and outline them in a frame (don’t forget about the colors).
6. We show connections between the elements of the mind map with arrows (also different color and thickness).
So, to recap: you start with a main topic, identify the most important general ideas related to it and arrange them as branches around it, and then develop these topics into sub-branches (branches of 2, 3, etc. orders), on which you place your ideas or keywords.
To create mind maps you can use the Free Mind program, part of the AltLinux repository. You can read more about the program on the page.
