1.ARTArticleEmotional Awareness: Is Emotional Awareness An Important Part Healing Our Emotional Body?When it comes to what one needs to do to get into physical shape or what they need to eat in order to be healthy, there is plenty of advice available. In fact, it is not so much about getting the advice that is the problem, nowadays, it is often more about what advice to follow and what advice one needs to avoid.ARTArticleEmotional Awareness: Is Emotional Awareness An Important Part Of Being Able To Take Responsibility For How We Feel?Each experience that one has in life is going to play a part in how they feel. In some cases, how one feels will reflect what has taken place and at other times, it won’t. And this is because what has happened exte
ally has triggered feelings from the past.
This inner experience could relate to something that happened a few weeks ago or even a few years. This shows that there is a least two factors when it comes how one feels when something happens in their life. And what will also play a part in both of these factors is how one’s mind interprets what takes place.ARTArticleEmotional Awareness: Is Emotional Awareness An Important Part of Having Boundaries?When someone has a house or owns a piece of land, they’re going to know how important it is to have a fence or some kind of sign to mark where their property begins and where it ends. So not only will this let other people know where they shouldn’t go without permission, there will also be a greater chance of ones property being protected.
While some people will still go where they are not supposed to go, there are going to be a lot of people who won’t. And this shows how important it is to let people know where they can go and where they can’t go.
This Is ObviousARTArticleEmotional Awareness: Is Emotional Awareness An Important Part Of Letting Go Of Grudges?There are going to be moments when one looks back and remembers someone who treated them well and then there are going to be moments when this isn’t the case. This could mean that one looks back and ends up feeling angry and this may not only relate to one person, it could relate to a number of people.
It might not matter if what is making them angry happened a few months ago or even a few years ago, as one can feel as though it is happening now. And while one may be going over the experience now, this could be something that happens on a regular basis.
A Regular OccurrenceARTArticleEmotional Awareness: Is Emotional Awareness An Important Part of Self Control?While what is taking place exte
ally is relatively easy to notice, the same can’t always be said when it comes to what is taking place internally. Here, one might not be aware of what is going on within them and yet, their actions are still going to be defined by what is taking place there.
If one is aware of what is taking place within them they will be able to see how their inner world is driving their behaviour. But if they are only partly aware or even oblivious to what is taking place, then the reasons as to why they behave as they do is likely to be a mystery.
The ObserveARTArticleEmotional Awareness: Is Emotional Awareness An Important Part Of Taking Responsibility For How We Feel In A Relationship?It is often said that while relationships have the power to lift one up, they also have the power to bring them down. So one can experience just about every emotion on one side of the spectrum at one moment and then experience just about every emotion on the other side of the spectrum at another, and with the same person.
And while it is human nature to seek pleasure and to avoid pain, it doesn’t mean that one will leave a relationship that causes them to feel bad. The other person could be someone who is bringing them down and making their life a misery and yet, one doesn’t leave them.rARTArticleEmotional Body: How Can Someone Heal Their Emotional Body?While it is clear that one has a physical body, what might not be as clear is that one also has an emotional body. So much attention has been placed on the mind or what could be called the mental body, that emotions often seen as being insignificant.
And that the only time emotions do appear is when one has certain thoughts. This often creates the impression that emotions are just an effect of how one does or doesn’t think. Based on this outlook, one’s mind is in control and emotions are at the mercy of one’s thoughts.ARTArticleEmotional Depth: Can Embracing Our Pain Lead To Greater Emotional Depth?Although some people have the ability to feel every emotion on the spectrum, there are others who are only able to express certain emotions. This is similar to how some people can speak a language fluently and others can only speak a few words, if that.
The person who can speak a language fluently is going to be in a far better position than the person who can’t. They will be better equipped in their conversations with others and this is because not only will one be able to understand what others are saying, they will also be able to express themselves.ARTArticleEmotional Expression: What Can Happen When We Don't Express Our Emotions?If one was to stop eating and drinking it wouldn’t be long before they would start to experience problems. And if this went on for too long, they would soon die. But while one is likely to be aware of their physical needs in most cases, what they might not be aware of is what is going on for them emotionally.ARTArticleEmotional Expression: Why Don't Some People Express How They Feel?While there are some people who express how they feel, there are other people who don’t. And when one is not only in touch with how they feel but expresses how they feel, they’re going to experience life differently to someone who doesn’t.
This is because emotions are important and not something one can just deny. There are some people who are in touch with how they feel and there are other people who are not. And just because someone is in touch with how they feel, it doesn’t mean that they will express how they feel.
InformationARTArticleEmotional Growth: Is Emotional Growth Important?In today’s world it is not uncommon for someone to hear that exercise is vital when it comes to leading a happier, healthier and even a longer life. So if one takes part in some form of exercise a few times a week, then their life will change for the better.
And it doesn’t take a genius to realise that regular exercise is going to enhance ones experience of life. Along with this will be a good diet; to make sure that one gets the right nutrients into their body.ARTArticleEmotional Healing : Ditched Therapy and Found Mind Body Healing TechniquesAfter a couple of years of therapy, I realized that talking about my feelings did not help alleviate my anger, profound sadness, or lift me from my chronic depression so I stopped going. I decided to find something else. I was not sure exactly "what" it was but anything that does not require "talking" about your problems and ingesting pills was worth pursuing.
One of the first mind body healing workshops I signed up for was a meditation class. Meditation was harder tha
I thought. I just could not sit still. I could not stop my mind from wondering.ARTArticleEmotional Instability: Can Trapped Emotions Cause Emotional Instability?While having emotional stability is the ideal, it is not something that everyone can relate to. But this doesn’t mean that the people who do experience emotional stability are always stable and go through life unscathed.
To be human means that we are emotional beings and so unless one has become emotional numb and cut off, they are going to experience emotional ups and downs. This is part of life and not something one should try to deny.ARTArticleEmotional Needs: Do Our Unmet Emotional Needs Control Our Lives?To be human means that one has needs and these cover a wide range of different areas. For instance, one has: physical, mental and emotional needs. And although each of these are important when it comes to experiencing a level of wellbeing and a sense of fulfilment, it doesn’t mean that one will have all of these needs met.ARTArticleEmotional Neglect: From One Generation To AnotherWhen it comes to what one generation passes onto the next, genetics are at the forefront. Some experts say that whatever one generation has, the next are certain to have the same. However, others, through their understanding of epigenetics, have said that their needs to be a trigger in order for anyone’s DNA to have an effect.
And this trigger could be an exte
al trigger, so environmental, or an internal trigger and how one feels or thinks for instance. What doesn’t receive as much exposure as this, is how emotional neglect can be passed on from one generation to another.ARTArticleEmotional Regulation: What Happens When Someone Can't Regulate Their Emotions?In today’s world there are all kinds of challenges that people are having to face. And some of these are relatively easy to handle, while others can seem to be more or less impossible to solve.
These can range from global, societal and personal problems. In a way, they can all affect each other, and at the same time one doesn’t always have to be affected by what others are doing in their society or the world at large.ARTArticleEmotional Regulation: What Is Emotional Regulation?Although emotions and feelings are something each one of us has, it doesn’t mean that they are easy to handle or manage. For some people, they generally don’t cause too many problems, unless there is a major challenge in their life.
And then there are other people who find it incredibly difficult to cope with their emotions. It is then irrelevant as to what is or what is not going on in their life; as the consequences are the same. Here one can end up being completely controlled by them and feel forever at their mercy.ARTArticleEmotional Repression: What Happens When Men Repress Their Emotions?On a physical level, men and women are clearly very different; with men having features that relate to the masculine and women having features that relate to the feminine. And while this much is obvious and easily recognisable, what they are like within is not as easy to describe.
But as a rule, women are often seen as being emotional and men as logical. These are typically seen as the truth as to what men and woman are like on the inside. And based on this outlook, not only are they very different on the outside, they are also very different on the inside.
Today’s WorldARTArticleEmotional State: Can We Change How We Feel By Changing Our Behaviour?How we behave influence’s how we feel, and the only thing one needs to do to realise this is to change their posture. Many people realise how their body language not only affects how they feel, they also realise how it affects how others feel around them.
There is then an inner change in oneself and inner change in the other person. And one’s body language can make others warm to them for example, or it can cause them to pull away.
Professional HelpARTArticleEmotionally Dependent: Why Are Some People Emotionally Dependent?As human beings, we are interdependent and although someone people can come to the conclusion that they are independent, this is just an illusion. They may well be able to support themselves financially, but they are still reliant on other people paying them money.
This is clearly different to one person being dependent on other people for money. In this instance, it is a one way process and one is not giving anything in return. When one is being paid for what they give, a mutual exchange is taking place.ARTArticleEmotionally Disconnected: Why Are Some People Emotionally Disconnected?While emotions are often seen as a distraction and an inconvenience, they are a vital part of being human. Without them, life would be pretty meaningless and while there wouldn’t be any lows, there also wouldn’t be any highs either.
It would lead to a life that is very empty and although one might be alive, it would be nothing more than a life of simply existing or surviving. So this could be a life that makes one wonder if life is really worth living.
An AnalogyARTArticleEmotionally Expressive: How Can Someone Become More Emotionally Expressive?When it comes to how human beings communicate with each other, there are many different aspects involved. During those moments where one is face to face with another, it is not just what comes out of their mouth that matters.
If one was talking to someone through text, email or via social media, it would be completely different. In this instance, the words that one uses are the only thing that matter, but when it comes to talking to someone in person, the words that one uses are not as important.ARTArticleEmotionally Unavailable Mother: What Are The Consequences Of Having An Emotionally Unavailable Mother?While some women want to be mothers and go onto fulfil this need, there are others who have no interest in being a mother. They might end up channelling their nurturing abilities into another area of life instead.
However, just because a woman decides to be a mother, it doesn’t mean that she is able to give her child (or children) what it needs in order to develop into a healthy adult. If they were to check the DNA of the child and the parent, they would see they are connected, but that might be about as far as the connection goes.
AppearancesARTArticleEmotionally Undeveloped: Why Are Some People Emotionally Undeveloped?Not every part of a human being develops at the same rate, and this is to be expected. If one was to look at nature and see how a tree grows, they will soon see that the branches are not all the same length. Some are longer than others and at the same time, it hasn’t affected the tree. It is still strong and the shorter branches are not causing any problems to the rest of the tree.ARTArticleEmotions: Why Do Some People Hide Their Emotions?It is often said that women show how they feel and men keep their feelings to themselves. And this is surely going to apply to some men and women, but not all of them. It is simply a generalisation and one that allows people to navigate their world more easily.
One reason why it is this way is due to the role that each gender has played for so long. Being a woman has meant that one is allowed to reveal how they feel and this is normal. Where as being a man has meant that one needs to hide their emotions and this is what is normal.ARTArticleEmpaths: Do Some People's Childhoods Set Them Up To Be Empaths?While all human beings have a physical body, that doesn’t mean that they experience life in the same way. If one was to think about why this is, they might focus on how we are born into different environments and how these environments can be the defining factor.
However, without even going into the factors that might explain why everyone sees life differently, there are also differences when it comes to what is taking place within someone. Just because one has a physical body, it doesn’t mean that they have the same level of empathy as someone else.ARTArticleEmpathy: Can Embracing Our Pain Lead To A Heightened Sense Of Empathy?If one was to look back on their time at school or to a time when they were playing sports, they might remember a moment when someone fell over or injured themselves. Now, as they picture this in their mind, they might see that some people laughed and some people didn’t.
One way of looking at this would be to say that there were people who stayed in their head and people who went into their heart. When one stays in their head, it can be easy for them to avoid their feelings; just as when one brings their attention into their heart, it will be possible for them to feel another’s pain.
