INCREDIBLE THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS WITHIN US

INCREDIBLE THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS WITHIN US 

 As humans we have 50,000 to 70,000 thoughts in a single day. That’s a lot of thoughts. It’s about 3000 per hour and 50 per minute. Many times we say I have negative thought or positive thought. But the fact about thought is – thoughts are just thoughts. We can also call them as Sentences or Phrases that we say to ourselves. Thoughts are not positive or negative, it’s the emotions that we connect to thoughts are positive or negative and then our mind presumes that because of the thought I am feeling so, but it is quite the opposite. The question we can ask is, How do we know what though can trigger my negative or positive emotions? Well the answer is very simple, the “BELIEF” that we put into any thought that crosses our mind, makes it more powerful to raise our emotional area in the brain.    

 Becoming Mindful of is one of the best techniques to develop awareness of our thoughts and emotions, further cultivating it to our advantage. Emotional expressions such as talking to someone we trust, also activities such exercise, meditation, walk in the nature, dance, music, drawing, writing, even involving in any sort of hobby or singing out the emotions in a form of a song to yourself helps to vent out emotions.

    

           When I was growing up, emotional expressions whether positive or negative was encouraged. This expression of emotions has motivated to understand myself better and clear my mind. Many of us implicate emotional expression in ways such as, “You should have known how I was feeling by the look on my face.” Whereas, the look on the face hardly ever changed. Some may also feel, putting on a smile before leaving the house each morning can make the day go smooth, but sometimes this bubble can be popped by the prick of a negative emotion that can rise from different circumstances that we encounter though the day or even from the emotion that we are trying to hide or done nothing which is bothering us. What comes to mind is what emotions are? How do we stop negative emotions? Emotions are often called feelings, which include personal experiences. Emotions have both Physical and mental components. Positive or negative emotions are triggered by our feelings or memories of experiences.

Sometimes we generalize happy to refer to specific positive emotions. Positive emotions have a whole range of emotions from Inspiration, Amusements, to Awe, Interest, Gratitude, Love, Joy, Pride, Serenity, Trust and Hope. These are “Wantable” states, which not only feel good but we want to feel them always. The secret is to deny their short lividness but also to find ways to increase their quantity.  That’s true for all emotions that they come and go. 

          About how to stop negative emotions, best way is to look at the positive side of negative emotions. Negative emotions are also necessary for us to flourish, and positive emotions are by nature subtle and momentary. Rather than trying to eliminate the existence of negative emotions, we balance negative feelings with positive ones.

Emotions tell us not just what the body needs but what we need mentally and emotionally and what our future selves might need. They help us broaden our minds and our outlook and build our resources down the road. If we focus on day-to-day feelings, we can up lift building our resources and becoming our best version of ourselves. 

As I believe, we teach best what we most need to learn.
