Reactions...
Are you depressed? Angry? Happy? There are countless different feelings. I am fortunate to be in a community where I can pick up new skills every day. Recently, I learned more about emotions.
Emotion is defined by psychology as a complicated state of feeling that causes psychological and bodily changes that affect thinking and behaviour.
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, an emotion is a conscious mental reaction (such as anger or fear) that is experienced as a strong feeling and is typically directed toward a particular object. It is also frequently accompanied by changes in the body's physiology and behaviour.
Emotions are essentially the experiences we are experiencing at a given time. Some feelings, such as humiliation, only last a moment. We also experience other feelings like happiness, surprise, fear, contempt, and anger. The list goes on and on.
We can only convey or comprehend how we feel at a given moment in time through our emotions. Emotions are very real, and while we can't always change how we feel, we can choose how we respond to those feelings.
I want to share some things I've learned about emotions.
real, so use them to your advantage.
It's past time for us to collectively adopt an optimistic outlook. Emotions act as a driving force that propels you forward. You'll be surprised at how much you achieve if you approach your work or whatever it is you want to do with a cheerful outlook. On the other hand, you won't get very far if you are constantly thinking negatively and acting lazily. Therefore, use your emotions to your advantage.
While real, emotions are not always correct.
Yes, claiming to be in love with a married person is a fantastic illustration. Despite the fact that you may love them, your feelings are inappropriate because they are already married to someone else. You want something that isn't yours, yet you aren't allowed to have it. Therefore, the feeling is incorrect.
For example; Imagine you failed an exam, performed poorly in a job interview, or experienced a failed romantic relationship. You can be thinking to yourself at that time that you are a failure, dumb, or even an idiot. Simply behaving out of how you are feeling at the time. None of those things you're telling yourself apply to you.
