Our thoughts and our feelings can inform each other rather than compete with each other. When we're emotionally self-aware in the workplace, it actually helps us do the work of thinking through work problems logically.

Have you ever developed a bit of resentment toward a boss or a coworker? That resentment leads to a division in your relationship, a kind of subtle two-faced dynamic. Like Shakespeare's Macbeth, your "False face must hide what the false heart doth / know." But that division happens on the inside, too. When you're not emotionally self-aware about your anger and resentment, you'll start making work decisions differently because of your feelings without realizing it.

In contrast, when we become emotionally self-aware by God's grace, we can see ourselves, our colleagues, and our work challenges more clearly.
