It is considered that emotions are messages of our unconscious mind. Warnings or signals of awareness. Basically, the idea is – if you are too emotional, listen carefully to the message your mind wants you to hear. There are classical emotions, the meaning of which are well known. Like, Anger. As a sign that one of our rules or boundaries has been violated either by ourselves or by someone else. Or Fear – a signal to be prepared for something that might happen. Strangely it is the same for either bad or good things. We do fear everything that we do not know yet. Guilt is the feeling of not living up to your own standards. I wonder what kind of message the emotion of Sadness brings forward…
I’ve been reading a book by Paul McKenna and one of the interesting things he mentioned was that the truly successful people take action before they feel they are ready. It makes sense to me as does his explanation: people like what’s familiar, but are rewarded for what’s different. The more things happened the way we expect them to, the less brains notice. But when the unexpected occurred, the chemical reactions are very different. There are, apparently, some scientific researches in support of the idea that the feeling of uncertainty is the first step to find satisfaction. Of course, I would also add: it does depend on you if you’ll take the next step after the first one. But I like the idea I personally experienced her “side-effects” and can authoritatively confirm that it does feels great when you do something you never done before and even when you do not achieve what you intended, there is still that very stimulating amazement of “I never thought I could do this”
My weekend is quiet. I’ve cancelled all pre-arranged appointments and let the day to flow over me as it will. And if a disturbing thought appears in my head, I tell her shoosh, leave me alone today. Surprisingly all the today’s disturbing thoughts listened to me and obeyed. It is a quiet weekend. In all senses. Perhaps, too quiet...
