Why do we feel this way? And how to change it.

in #lifehack8 years ago

I am going to explore why we have feelings and emotions.

How to avoid having negative feelings and emotions.


The results in our life are most often created by our actions.

Some of the actions we take, we later regret.

These bad decisions are often caused by, reacting to our emotions or feelings.

Our bodies create our feelings, which can then become emotions.

The feeling of fear, our body makes our heart beat faster. 

Breathing patterns can be changed by the body, when fear is present.

All the physical changes we incur; with different emotions, are created by the body.

All the feelings we have, are created by the body, feel hungry, feel like a pee, feel rage.

All our life is a series of memories, many memories carry emotions and feelings.

These emotions and feelings can be triggered by many things, sounds, words, images, smell.

A bad trigger at a bad time, can result in bad decisions.

The answer is to control your body.

Breathing at a slow, rhythmic pace, from the heart area, pumping the proper amount of blood to the brain at the right time.

Continuous, rhythmic, slow breathing, keeping each in and out breath ,about the same length of time.

No stopping, breathing in, should be as long, as breathing out, even; rhythmic breathing

Some feelings like fear or stress can shut down the frontal cortex of the human brain.

Flight or fight, shutting down the thinking process, is useful in certain situations.

But often in this world, we need out full thinking capacity, slow, rhythmic, even breathing; from the heart area, is the solution.

Emotions and feelings will have a counterpart; opposite, emotion or feeling, love/hate, happy/sad.

What if I am feeling something and I want to feel something else?

How do we navigate this sea of emotions and feelings?

There is an app, with a map of possible emotions or feelings,

 this can help you navigate, to where you want to be.

The app called Universe of Emotions,available for only $1.81, on Google play.


I am not, affiliated to this app, in any way.
