1 ECD Activity: To Experiment 

Exploring Your Transitions with The Emotional Culture Deck

This simple yet powerful activity helps you reflect on the emotions you want to foster as you step into a new role, guiding you to create an intentional emotional path for success and wellbeing. Here's how it works:

1. Reflect on Your New Role: Take a moment to think about a new role or responsibility you’re about to step into, either personally or professionally. Consider what this new chapter means for you.
2. Choose Your Desired Feelings (Black Cards): Select 3 black Emotional Culture Deck feeling cards that best describe how you want to feel as you step into this new role. These feelings represent the emotions that will help you thrive.
3. Identify Warning Signs (White Cards): Select 3 white Emotional Culture Deck cards that could act as warning signs of trouble ahead if you experience them in this role. These feelings could hinder your success or wellbeing in this responsibility.
4. Share Your Choices: Write down or share with a friend why you chose each of the black and white cards. What do these emotions represent for you? How do they connect to your new role?
5. Action Plan for Emotional Awareness: Consider what you can do each day to foster the black card emotions. What small or big actions will help you feel the way you want to feel? Then, think about what you’ll do when you experience the white card emotions. How will you recognise these feelings early, and what steps will you take to address them?
