emotional sensitivity as data Flashcards
(54 cards)
What is the purpose of this drill?
To train emotional sensitivity as a source of intel—without reacting or performing. Notice emotion, label it, stay sovereign.
What’s the first step in the drill?
Notice a signal. Catch the physical or emotional shift the moment it begins.
What do you say to yourself when you notice emotion?
‘A signal has arrived.’
What should you avoid when labeling emotion?
Avoid identity-based language like ‘I am sad.’ Use detached terms like ‘This is sadness.’
Examples of emotional data labels?
‘This is friction.’ ‘This is shame bait.’ ‘This is guilt signal.’ ‘This is status challenge.’
What comes after labeling the emotion?
Ask: ‘What does this emotion want me to do—and do I agree?’
What’s the correct response if the emotion asks for reaction?
Stay still. No donation. Say: ‘Noted. I remain clear.’
What is your body doing during this drill?
Breathing low. Face calm. No emotional tells. Steady eye contact if needed.
What’s the post-event integration step?
Record a sentence: ‘Today I observed ___. It tried to evoke ___. I remained still.’
What’s the Zero Code principle behind this drill?
Emotion is data, not command. You are the signal processor, not the signal.

What does ‘emotional donation’ mean in this context?
Reacting, explaining, over-smiling, or shifting behavior to manage the energy in the room. It gives away power.
What’s the difference between suppression and stillness?
Suppression ignores the signal. Stillness acknowledges it, but doesn’t obey it.
What should you do if someone asks how you’re feeling during a signal?
Use neutral truth: ‘I’m tracking something, but I’m okay.’ Or: ‘Just noticing a shift—nothing I need help with.’
What’s a red flag emotion to log silently?
When you feel guilt that seems unearned, urgency that doesn’t match the moment, or a need to prove something. These are likely manipulation signals.
What does it mean if you feel nothing during an emotional moment?
Could be genuine neutrality, or delayed processing. Either way, note it without judgment: ‘Flat signal logged.’
What does the phrase ‘This is not mine’ mean in the drill?
Used when you’re picking up on someone else’s emotion or projection. It’s energetic hygiene.
What if emotion is intense but you don’t want to collapse?
Name it out loud to yourself in private: ‘This is fear.’ Then say: ‘And I can hold it.’
What do you do if you start leaking (body shifts, sighing, face twitch)?
Notice it. Re-ground. No shame. Say internally: ‘Signal detected. Code re-centering.’
How does emotional data make you stronger?
It lets you move with precision. You’re no longer reacting—you’re operating with intel.
How do you end a day with this drill?
Journal one sentence: ‘Today I stayed clear while _____. My clarity is becoming automatic.’

What’s the first thing to observe in a group setting?
Emotional tone of the room. Ask: ‘What is the dominant feeling frequency being broadcast?’
What does it mean if you feel the need to fix or soothe someone?
You’re being emotionally recruited. Pause and ask: ‘Is this mine to carry?’
