EMOTION

There is that usual dictionary definition of emotion: a mental and physiological state associate with a wide variety of feeling, thoughts and behviours. It is a prime determinant of the sense of subjective well being and it plays a central role in many human activities.....

I like to think of emotions as energy. Our energy or emotions can be positive or negative.

Here is something I want you to think about. Positive energy (emotion) is nearly the same as negative energy (emotion). Both are just focused in different directions. Kind of like driving a car. You can be heading in one direction but it just doesnt feel right so what do you do? You turn around and go in the opposite direction.

Some examples of emotion are anger, frustration, sadness, enthusiasm, passion etc. If you are experienceing frustration and are able to take away the circumstances that caused it, the raw emotion of frustration pretty much feels a lot like the raw energy of entusiasm...its energy just going in a different direction. And guess what folks.....YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR DIRECTION! you can go north or south...its up to you...

You may ask...well how? ...I just chose to be positive and there are no changes yet...well..my friends...lets get real here...in order for the direction to change you cannot simply say the words...I chose to be positive...you must fill your head with positive thoughts...

One suggestion for filling your head with positive emotions....is the emotion of gratitude...when you wake up every morning...take notice of all the things in life you are grateful for. Gratitude causes a natural "high". When you live appreciating all of life and what you have you find more joy and kindness in the world.

"Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others." ~Cicero
