emotions [Theme] Page 3
Gestalt does not force us to subdue our emotions, ... i.e. reduce them to slavery! It is rather about "taming" them, that is, about getting to know them as best as possible and making them our friends - with whom we can talk confidentially. Do not oppose, do not fight against, but move forward together.
The most important of these skills, and also the main foundation of power, is the ability to control your feelings. Emotional reaction to a situation is the biggest obstacle to power, a mistake that will cost you far more than any temporary satisfaction you get from expressing feelings. Emotions do not show the true causes, and if you do not see the situation with all clarity, you will not be able to prepare for it and somehow control your own reaction to it.
If a mercenary person wiped his feet on your kindness and caused you severe pain, you should not drown out your emotions with alcoholic beverages and be hard to worry about. In such a situation, you should calm down, pull yourself together, take a warm shower, go outside and start thinking only about the good, so that the sediment from the negative event leaves the body faster and dissolves into space. If you act correctly, inner harmony will return to you much faster than you think. The ability to properly overcome unpleasant situations is the key to your mental stability.
That's where it all stems from.
Yes, there are no contracts except the contract of the heart.
A person tends to reproduce familiar emotions, sensations and situations that will confirm his own perception of the world around him and himself. That is why he can "step on the same rake" and not even realize the reasons for their occurrence.
Peace of mind comes when you no longer allow other people or events to control your emotions.
And it is difficult for us, people, to always be in a state of search, because in our life there are a number of problems that carry a number of certain negative emotions. It’s good if we can parse incoming emotions and “sort them out”, and not push them away.
When you start to listen to what you feel from people and formulate your emotions for yourself - bam! You have to act. You can no longer sit still.
Negativity comes into our lives not because we want it and wait for it, but because it exists on a par with positive emotions. Moreover, the negative is so powerful that it can drag you along, no matter how strong you are. Therefore, if possible, surround yourself with positive people and communicate less with those who produce negative emotions.
Conquer your emotions or they will bring you down.
I remember a famous cartoon. The hero seems to be a prisoner there, and he shakes the bars in a desperate attempt to get out - but there is no lattice to the right and left of him. He just needs to walk around. But he still desperately shakes the grate. And most people are like that. We feel trapped, trapped in these emotional cages, but there is always a way out - if we want to see it.
The body is easy to train, but developing emotional stability is much more difficult. Even if you think you are perfectly calm, you cannot escape the pricks of the thorns of slander.
People who can't control their emotions are easy to control themselves.
Yeah damn yeah!!
