We live in a remarkable time when knowledge is accessible to everyone. Paradoxically, it has never been so difficult for that knowledge to find a more practical outlet.
Yet one basic and essential area of knowledge has been neglected: emotions.
1️⃣ Each of us can find it truly difficult to deal with our emotional states, especially negative ones such as anger, fear or sadness.
2️⃣ Today's more demanding life seems to have disconnected us from our innate mechanism for dealing with ourselves and others. We have become afraid to feel, to look or to confront.
3️⃣ It is important to understand that our emotional state is directly connected to our surroundings.
⭐ I must recognise that I cannot rid myself of my emotions. I will always feel something, sometimes things I do not like.
⭐ Our emotions are not there to be suppressed, much less ignored. They guide and protect us, offering wisdom and information that helps us interpret, choose and decide.
Getting there involves relearning how to make the most of our emotions. A psychologist can be key to improving this self-knowledge, becoming your emotional GPS.
