How do you feel today? Are you happy? Sad? Angry? Frustrated? Remembering the emotions of the last 24 hours can be quite easy, but do you know how you felt last Friday? You may find it difficult to answer this last question. And if I ask you,how did you feel 5 weeks ago? It will be even more difficult to answer. Understanding emotional patterns is very important.
The emotions you feel affect you every minute and every second of your life. If you're feeling anxious about work or stressed, it's easier for you to make mistakes and stop coming up with great ideas. When you feel frustrated for other reasons, you may feel demotivated and apathetic. If you are unconsciously angry with someone, you are treating other people in bad ways (and they are not to blame for your discomfort). If you don't know the patterns of your emotions, then you won't be able to solve your problems. and improve the situations that bother you.
Emotions should be as important as money
Have you ever thought about it like this? People treat money with great importance, sometimes too much and put their emotions aside. Emotions are important because they tell us how we are and if there is something we should change in our life to be better. When you have less money than you would like, you may adjust expenses to make ends meet. You will adapt your spending habits accordingly in order to save and have more economic availability. In other words, If you don't keep track of your money, you won't have a good economy.
This is how emotions should be treated, exactly the same. By giving equal importance to how we feel, recognizing why we feel a certain way and what caused it, we can better tune in to identify and manage emotions in a more positive way and be better with ourselves and with the world around us.
3 things you should write every day
Throughout one day and the following days, write the following:
-Your general emotion of the day
-The events that you have lived in the day
-The link between your emotion and what has happened
When you do this, you will notice that your emotions fluctuate on different days, that is, some days you may be happier than others. This is completely normal. After all, we are human and it can be difficult to control what happens to us and how we respond to the stimuli around us, so it is important that you start to understand your emotions a little more.
You shouldn't push yourself to be constantly happy because that's not real. Once you start tracking your moods and the events you go through, you can begin to see the connections between your moods and the events. Reviewing your emotions means being able to see what makes you happy, sad, anxious, or angry.
