experiencing emotions
what is the impact?
negative emotions like anger, sadness(loneliness) and fear(worry, anxiety) create disomfort within the body.
it invlove phsiological reaction which you cannot control when it happened. it will die off based on natural physio reaction. people always relate emotions to the trigger event. very rarely do people feel worried without any association to something.
people feel anxious when it is their turn to speak in an presentation. people get angry when somebody gives them extra things to do.
how do you think emotion can occur?
either during an event or something that has not much event but involves your perception.
what is the effect if it happens while you are in the midst of something?
negative emotions are uncomfortable so it will definietly affect what you are doing.
so what is the correct attitude when you are doing something and emotion comes in?
know that the thing you are doing will be affected so lower your expectation accordingly.
what are the common mistakes?
people let their emotions create more emotions and thoughts, and lengthen their discomfort period.
how do people generally react to emotion?
they feel the discomfort, and become worry, sad, angry or possibly other feelings. they then relate this feelings to the trigger issue. judgments and opinions will then be made like, "this person is so rude, he should not done this to me" or "oh no, the i am feeling anxious, i cannot possibly speak well with this anxiety now, how? how?"
wrong judgments will reinforce wrong thoughts into your mind, create wrong behavior, beliefs and get wrong results generally speaking. i thas both short and lon run bad effects.
then what is the solution?
to prevent forming wrong opinions, practise not making judgment about the trigger issue. be aware that the initial discomfort will affect your performance, so accept the drop in performance. if the emotions keep coming, you have no choice but to keep on enduring the emotional discomfort of it, but refrain from making judgements still.
