Our emotions can make our life very happy as
much as sad. I believe that they are our driving force, we chase the good
emotions and avoid the bad ones. Whatever we do now is greatly influenced by
our emotions. That’s why I believe that we shouldn’t ignore them but we do need
to make sense out of them. We can control our emotions temporarily but it does
take a lot of effort. Life is much easier when we learn how to use our emotions
rather than fighting them. Our emotions also have a big influence on our
subconscious and memory. The stronger the emotion, the faster we learn to do
things subconsciously and the more we remember the event that created the
emotion.
I believe that
emotions help us with our habits that create our personality (see Habits). Good emotions are a reward for doing
well and help us to repeat the same action subconsciously. We start doing the
action without thinking, it becomes part of our personality. Negative emotions
help us to remember what we don’t like and it will not create the habit. They
also serve us to remember what not to do and push us to do something about a
situation.
We feel good when we get what we want or we
progress towards what we want. We feel bad when we don’t get what we want or
when we lose what we care about or we are scared that we might lose it. We get
angry if someone tries to control us and we don’t like it or if we try to
control someone and they refuse to cooperate. We also get angry when we
struggle to accept something that we can’t change (see Anger). We get confused when we don’t know how
to get what we want or how to keep what we care about. That’s when we need to
learn how to get what we want (see Learning).
A lot of us learnt how to ignore our emotions
because sometimes they got us into trouble. I believe that what actually did
get us into trouble is an excess of emotions rather than the emotion itself. If
we ignore our emotions they build up inside and eventually they get out of
control.
That’s why I believe we need to absorb our
emotions rather than fight them to prevent a build up. It’s important to feel
every emotion that happens to us all the time and understand why it is
happening, I don’t think it’s necessary to show them. Emotions are important
because they help us with our memory as well as with changing and setting our
habits (see Habits). Sometimes, we need to adjust our
emotions to be a correct one if we confused them in the past or fought them too
much. It’s important to feel happy when something that we like happens and
to feel a bit sad when something that we don’t like happens.
Sometimes, we feel something and we don’t know
why. It’s good to look at our past and see whether what’s happening to us is
triggering experiences that might be important to our current situation.
I believe that this is important to do all the
time. We need to pay attention to every emotion we have and understand it and
absorb it. It doesn’t mean that we need to stop doing everything else, we can
pay attention to our emotions while we’re doing other things in the same time.
Unless the emotion is so strong that we need to take some time alone to absorb
it and make sense out of it.
