PeaceBuilders Opinion 1

A Self-Reflection:

For most of my life, I relied on my ability to fix things—especially mechanical stuff. I’d take things apart, figure out how they worked, and usually get them back together. I’m sure many people have learned in a similar hands-on way.

I’m not an academic, but if I could do it over, I might have enjoyed a trade, like being an electrician or plumber. My “fixing” skills worked well in my construction career, but sometimes I got frustrated when others didn’t see things my way. I wanted them to follow my solutions, but that approach didn’t help me build strong relationships.

When my marriage fell apart, I realized that I couldn’t “fix” everything. I was left emotionally lost, having grown up in a time where men weren’t supposed to show emotion.

That’s when I realized I had to learn to be curious about my emotions. It was a turning point for me. Life’s pressures don’t always go away, but learning how to respond emotionally made everything better. It changed my perspective completely, and I’m still working on it.

Author's Opinion

The Webster dictionary describes curiosity as ‘a strong desire to know or learn something”

A synonym might be, inquisitiveness, concern, questioning, interest, wonderment etc. You get the idea.

I want to take it a step further and explore the intricacies of emotional curiosity.

Rather than just being curious about physical things or objects.

Curiosity is biological

Activates reward circuits in midbrain - dopamine

Curiocity turns on learning and memory brain connections

And curiosity is relational
