Core Emotion Framework: An Interactive Infographic

Master Your Emotions

The Core Emotion Framework (CEF) identifies 10 mental operations that construct every thought, reaction, and feeling.

"We don't have emotions - we do emotions through cognitive actions." — Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, Neuroscientist

The 10 Core Emotional Powers

Your mind's foundational building blocks. The chart below represents a sample profile, showing how different powers can be developed. How balanced is your emotional toolkit?

What Are The Powers?

  • 1. Sensing: Your Body's Telegraph
  • 2. Calculating: Your Mental Spreadsheet
  • 3. Deciding: The Commitment Engine
  • 4. Expanding: Possibility Generator
  • 5. Constricting: Boundary Architect
  • 6. Achieving: Goal Execution System
  • 7. Arranging: Order Architect
  • 8. Appreciating: Value Detector
  • 9. Boosting: Confidence Amplifier
  • 10. Accepting: Reality Integrator

Emotion Re-Construction Lab

Emotions aren't monolithic. They are formulas, combinations of your core powers. By changing the formula, you can change the experience. Here's how to deconstruct and rebuild two common, powerful emotions.

The Anxiety Formula

Sensing: Visualizing failure.
Arranging: Attempting to manage within tight constraints.
Constricting: Fixating on specific negative patterns.
Accepting: Manifests as passive surrender to the negative outcome.

Restructure Protocol

1. Challenge with Calculating: Analyze the actual probabilities of outcomes.

2. Activate Boosting: Reclaim personal responsibility and self-belief.

3. Open Expanding: Brainstorm new methods and possibilities.

4. Shift to Appreciating: Find value in the process, not just the controlled outcome.

The Anger Formula

Sensing: Detecting a mis-alignment with your desires.
Achieving: Ego feels questioned, seeks validation.
Boosting + Constricting: A "Ridge Ignition" where drive fuses with rigidity.

Restructure Protocol

1. Separate Boosting from Constricting: Ground yourself to disentangle arousal from focus.

2. Engage Calculating: Find a logical solution to the root cause.

3. Embrace Expanding: Open up to different perspectives and outcomes.

4. Shift to Appreciating: Aim for harmony rather than escalation.

Evidence-Based Outcomes

Applying these principles isn't just theory. Research indicates tangible, measurable improvements in performance and well-being. The following data is based on benefits described in the framework.

Higher Goal Achievement

2.5x

By combining Deciding & Achieving, individuals show a dramatically higher success rate in reaching their goals.

Reduced Rumination

Practicing the 'Accepting' power through methods like RAIN can significantly cut down on cyclical, unproductive thoughts.

Fewer Destructive Arguments

60%

The Conflict Resolution Algorithm helps reduce destructive arguments by fostering calm and common ground.

Life Optimization Formulas

Combine core functions to create powerful "cocktails" for achieving specific, high-value life goals.
