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.

Life Advice N Motivation -Week 2: Stuck In The Past

This Week on Life Advice & Motivation : Time and the past.

Its our best friend and potentially our worst enemy. It is potentially what drives us to move forward and what burdens us from moving forward. But this week on Life Advice and Motivation, we ask..... whether the past leaves us with unforgettable pain from deaths, sicknesses, breakups and failures or leaves us with sweet memories, Does the past really exist in the present moment? 

Perhaps it does, but when we let it , in our minds the past exists in the present moment. as we let good and bad memories of our past take hold of how we feel in the present moment. A truth is, The only Life that exists is right now. Not yesterday. Not 5 years ago. Being mentally awake, conscious and present in the moment allows us to focus more on our goals and the things were doing. Being angry at a rude comment somebody made towards you for example creates emotions that cause you to be distracted from how good your lunch tastes. 

Connecting negative memories of the past to certain objects, days, people, things or places, also cause baggage and are things we need to remind ourselves to stop thinking about in order to live in the moment happily. Think about it , there's a reason why history is history, and the past is the past, its gone, we too often let it consume us through our thoughts and ruin right now for us. The Love Guru once said " A good distraction heals emotional pain" . and this is true, things that consume us in the present moment such as hobbies help us focus on taking part in our hobby itself. 

Heres a very insightful video by Eckhart Tolle that shows us the effect of being present in the moment: 

Life, Advice & Motivation says, moments where we feel most emotional are when the past has the biggest toll on us. Things to try this week are: 

- think about what your doing RIGHT NOW when you are angry or sad from thinking about something that Just happened to you. The more you practice this the more you start to enjoy life in the moment, where it really exists!

- meditate! Relax!  and fully focus on something that your doing at the moment such as a hobby you like to do to keep your mind off things that are hurting you!

Next week on Life Advice and Motivation we talk about : Fear of The Future.
