Understanding Emotions
I have been a long-time student on the subject of emotions . Emotions can impact and play important roles in my life. Emotions energize my physical being one way or another.
The stream of emotions can support my focus on things that interest and delight me. I have long interpreted emotions as messengers or guides to keeping myself united with myself, my best self. How I feel about any situation, tells me how aligned I am.
I don’t need to control my emotions, except for perhaps, emotional outbursts that affect other’s well-being. I also don’t need to explain why negative emotions are present. I don’t need to look to past memories that are causing this unhappy emotion to be triggered within me. I don’t need to set blame on someone else or some experience. Blame, regret and guilt didn’t work when I was young, and it is just as futile now. Emotions are not present to scold me. Emotions are simply guidelines to mark a path to well-being. Emotions are not emotional at all. They are triggers of energy to tell me that I am getting closer or further away from my total self.
My happiness comes when I am at home with myself. I know I am more than a physical body, changing daily by building up and tearing down. I know I have something more significant about me that is non-physical, a part of me but apart from my body. When I join my body with my non-physical self, I become a who, a real person. I know this because of the relationship I have had with the energy of emotions.
Adjusting Peaks and Valleys
Well-being for me occurs when I am at peace, joyful, laughing, and open. When I am in this state, I am successful in my life and in my business. It is then I am energized by happiness and clarity. My focus is uplifted by a current of blissful energy. As I write these words, I am following my bliss. I am within the energy flow of bliss. I am turning my focus toward things that delight me, things that I am interested in and as I feel better, my physical world follows suit. My physical situations improve without effort. This has happened time and time again in my personal life and in my business life. My focus, my attitude, my perception, or whatever you want to call it, becomes my reality in physical form.
Physical Playground
While I am in this body, I can do just about anything I want. I can listen to others tell me how I should act or how fearful I should be or any number of things. I can also become aware and accept my emotions, the way I would listen and accept the directives of my GPS lady who tells me I missed a turn. I can utilize my emotions as guideposts, GPS’s, directives, guardian angels or whoever is believed to be a guide.
What I am saying is certainly not new. But for me it is fresh on a daily basis. Life and all its experiences are here for me today and in whatever way I wish to see and choose it! It is pretty incredible when you think about it.
I can move freely around my life, knowing that I have the non-judgmental energy of emotion to tell me how close I am connected to my non-physical source. When I am in happier moods, I am closer to all of me. All of me, why not take all of me, can’t you see I’m no good without you. That song tells me just how much I want to be aligned with all of me, physical and non-physical and more. The closer I am aligned, the closer I know I am.
Measuring Emotional Insights
Emotions that don’t feel good, emotions like depression, disappointment, anger, fear, worry, boredom, helplessness, anxiety, regret, guilt, apprehension, don’t have to be feared or even focused upon. I merely need to make an adjustment in my direction. My focus creates a vibration of thoughts. Negative emotions are warning lights to focus on something more positive before I self-destruct.
Emotions are like the best form of analytics available to me! I am a person who loves objective findings as well as the subjective perceptions. Emotions can accurately determine my present status and the predictability for success. I can disclose trends and the need to refocus my attention by listening to my feelings. I can change my world and have satisfying adventures, knowing I have an inner guidance system, called emotions.
For me, this continues to be a paradigm in the way I look at business and in the way I look at my daily life. I welcome your questions and comments..
