Understanding our emotions and thoughts

Talking about emotions and thoughts is one of my favourite talks. If you are a deeply sensitive person and wonder how to use your highly sensitive emotions to your advantage, then continue reading this post.

Unfortunately, many start living life but really not knowing about their emotions, what they are, their actual role, what are they for and how to process them.

It is like you start life, experiencing those strong emotions, putting labels on them according to your mental interpretations and move on with life.

But when you distance yourself a bit from your emotions and the labels you attach to them, you realize a lot of harsh truths.

From personal experience, I remember the body language cues observed from the environment like the negative eye contact. Those have triggered strong emotions in me. I labelled those emotions as fear, worry, doubt and the fact it must be me to fix.

As a result, I closed inwards and created the invisible protective bubble. That bubble was a place I beleived to be safe and secured.

Then later in life, I realized that the illusionary bubble I created prevented me from progressing in life, contributing at work, opening up towards my loved ones and expressing myself freely and honestly.

When you reflect and process events and scenarios of your life in this way, you start to connect the dots, bring the missing puzzles together and understand better your emotions and the labels you attach to them.

It is interesting to go backwards, reengineer your thoughts and understand your emotions.

So what about you? What about your emotions? What emotions you usually feel? What kind of sensations? What mental labels you attach to those emotions? Are those labels true? Or they need some reviewing and checking? What ways or methods you use to process your emotions and thoughts?
