Neurohacking Emotional Turmoil

How is 2020 shaping up for you ??

Mine has definitely been a mixed bag of highs & lows & I could in all honesty leave January back in 2019
So I am & I am starting my 2020 from February & in that case 
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!

I always have such excitement for a New Year, especially this New Year being a New Decade!

But sometimes it just doesn’t flow the way I would like it too 
So that said, when life’s challenges get in the way
How do we maintain a our SOLID SENSE OF SELF?
How do we TRUST in the BIGGER PICTURE & remind ourselves that THIS TOO WILL PASS?

Some background …….in the past I would be at the mercy of my emotions & I would get stuck in the WORRY or ANXIETY over the emotional upheaval I was experiencing. I had trouble seeing that there would be LIGHT at the end of the tunnel & this would cause me a  lot of TURMOIL & DESPAIR

Over the past few years in my HEALING journey & on my journey to EMOTIONAL & SELF MASTERY I have learnt 2 important thing & I wanted to share them with you

1) The difference between Emotions & Feelings

2) Feelings are Feedback

Lets look at number 1
What is the difference between our Emotions & our Feelings?
I’m glad you asked
EMOTIONS are simply e-motion = energy in motion
They are biochemical reactions created in the primal or Limbic System part of the brain
We each have an equilibrium of well-being, a homeostasis point that with INNER SELF DEVELOPMENT WORK can be one of PEACE, JOY,THRIVING & CONTENTMENT

Emotions are reactions to a thought or even or circumstance that come from the unconscious part of the brain

As they are just energy in motion, if we allow them to be felt & acknowledged they can generally pass without too much upset

Some emotions we would prefer not to pass like Love & Joy & Abundance

Some we definitely want to move along & the quicker the better ie; Anxiety, Worry & Depression

Now…………. FEELINGS
Feelings are the thoughts we attach to our emotions
How we feel about the thought, event or circumstance
Feelings are the logical, the reason & the stories we attach to the emotion that came up for us
For example; the emotion I am having is ANXIETY, the feelings I have about that are that anxiety is a ‘bad’ emotion. The things that I tell myself about the emotions is ‘ that there is something wrong with me for feeling this way, that I am a terrible person or that Im not coping’

Now does that lend to allowing the emotion to flow in & flow out or does that exacerbate the already uncomfortable emotion, causing it to get stuck in the psyche & the body?

You get the picture ?

Now number 2 – Feelings as feedback
