Controlling emotions

As human beings we have so many emotions that course through us. Women tend to rely on them a lot more than men do, yet we all experience them and react to each emotion differently.

We can experience happiness and joy but sometimes they feel so fleeting. We experience sadness and worry and they seem to stick around in our daily thoughts.

The reason for this is that negative emotions have more power on us, because we give them that power. Positive or happy emotions are great and need to be cultivated and concentrated on. Just like positive reinforcement, we have to work on our positive emotions and thoughts. We need to grow the seed into a tree that bears positive fruits.

This is a lot easier said than done, as we have all experienced at one point or another.

There is nothing wrong with feeling worried or down, but remember to count your blessing when you are down. Concentrate on the things in your life that are good and that will make you feel better. Even if the last thing you want to do is listening to your favorite band, put it on, soon enough you should be singing along. Sometimes we just need a little distraction from our own little world.

This little break in the cycle can put you in a better frame of mind, so that you can objectively look at your situation or emotions and make better decisions regarding your physical and mental wellbeing. This is naturally essential to us as well as those around us.

We draw other people down when we are negative, as well as affect our own quality of life. By concentrating on the blessings we do have we can break the cycle and make each day a little brighter. This is something that requires a lot of practice. There are days when you will fail but getting up and starting again is the only way out of the cycle.

By concentrating on the positive we will have a friendlier outlook on life. This in turn will draw people around you closer. We are always drawn to people that are light and happy. No one wants to have lunch with the office “moper”.

So take time to do something that ignites passion in your soul, which replenishes your mind and fills your heart! Be Happy
