Life Advice N Motivation -Week 8: The Origin of Emotion

Anger, sadness, jealousy, happiness, fear, and the list goes on.
Emotions, where do they come from? What sparks them?

You might say, emotions come from things that other people do to us, or things that happen in our lives, but emotions realy come from thoughts.

for example, fear is caused by a thought of something happening in the future, sadness is caused by thoughts of the past or memories, anger is caused by thoughts of disbelief. anxiety is caused by thinking too much!!!

Every emotion is initially caused by a thought.Especially because thoughts build on each other its hard to keep your mind clear constantly. This week on life advice & motivation, we teach that if you can eliminate negative thoughts,and stay conscious in the present moment , we can eliminate emotion. to avoid thoughts using distraction is a helpful tool to keep our minds off of things that make us feel certain feelings.

learning to be aware of the thoughts we have, will allow us to make the choice to think about other things that dont spark certain feelings. ALso, instead of ignoring our emotions or supressing them, if we do not look into our emotions, we will always be stuck with those emotions. this is because thought processes recreate emotion constantly.
