Acting on Emotions
View this post on Hive: Acting on Emotions
Well, when it comes to emotions, there are two ways we can handle them.
We react, in which case the emotions control you.
We respond, in which case you control the emotions.
I actually wrote about this in depth in two of my posts (emotional intelligence pt 1 and pt 2 ) if you're curious to check them out.
Reaction is what happens when your ability to reason suffers due to your emotional volatility. Your judgement gets clouded and you stop thinking clearly, which can lead you to say or do things you'll later regret.
Response is what happens when you feel the emotion and it's affect on you, but choose to not let it override your critical thinking. Your judgement stays clear and your chances of doing or saying something you regret are far less likely.
Thanks for the write up : )
You also should not find any excuses for us.
Good luck in your new full of love life!
If i could like this a hundred times i would. I so like this post, it really speaks to me and exactly how i have been feeling. Sometimes i really have a difficulty finding the right words to express my thoughts and your words just helped me understand my own
:) Glad to be of assistance.
I think everything is about finding balance. I'm happy that you are achieving it somehow or at least feeling good about what you are doing. Regards!
It's been quite a journey...
Keep going!
Always forward! :)
Good for you for understanding you freedom to feel the emotions or to choose to repress them. Either way, you are being true to yourself in the moment.
You know how that Virgo life is. :) Just because I can pick apart everything and find all the flaws doesn't mean I need to or have to.
I sure get that! Blessings friend
