The power of positive emotions

Somehow at one point in our life we can be expose to many things like;

Being laid off from your job
Worry of unemployment
Dealing with the death of a loved one
Getting divorced or married
Argument with collegues, boss or family members
Dealing with money probelms
Moving to a new home or having a baby
Pressure in work
unable to attain something you desire

that lead to negative emotions like sadness, stress, anxiety, anger, hate. We also understand greatly this has direct impact to our health because it weakens our immune system as the body responds to the way you think, feel, & act increasing your risk to develop a poor health conditions like cold, infections, back pain, upset stomach, insomnia, headaches etc.. Also when you are feeling stressed, anxious or upset, you may not take care of your health as well as you should. You may not feel like exercising, eating nutritious foods or taking medicine that your doctor prescribes. Abuse of alcohol, tobacco or other drugs may also be a sign of poor emotional health. This may even further lead to more severe conditions like heart probelms, high blood pressure, breathing, weight probelms & others.

I believe most of us are already aware of the facts above but somehow it is just hard for us to control our emotions whenever there is a change in our lives be it a "bad" or "good" change.

Here are some good positive emotions and actions where you can just express almost effortlessly that drive positive actions & of course can have adverse reactions in the long term;

1) Loving & trust;
I am sure most of us at least would love ourselves everyday otherwise you would not be leaving untill today. Those that hated themselves and blame everyone for it turn to drugs, alcohol abuse, self destruction actions & some case involved hurting others like family/children abuse, fights etc..if you are experiencing the latter suggest you seek counseling or profesional medical attention because you must first learn to love yourself. Then you extend your love & trust to your love ones. It is not hard at all just to tell your mum, spouse, kids, or even your friends, partners how much you love them everday and fate brought us together!! Only through these you can share your feelings of sadness, worry, stress with them for things that are bothering you eventhough they may not be the right person to deal with your feelings appropriately but keeping it to yourself can have worst long term effect according to some medical advise. Sometimes the person you have shared your probelms may differ you to others more appropriate if they share the same love & care as you do and this is the long term reaction part of it. Love yourself, others & get loved as well!!!! Many of times social probelms are associate with loneliness, not accepted in the society, not loved & care by others.

2) Believing & have faith
I remember watching the movie "matrix evolution" towards the end when all good relapsed and evil defeated; SERAPH ask the Oracle: Did you always know? ORACLE claims: Oh no. No, I didn't. But I believed.I believed ...

Yes by believing in yourselves something you hold on to makes you motivated even the outcome may not be what we have expected but it drives your actions at least close to it. But of course don't rely entirely only on faith as an excuse for laziness which is why believing in faith should relate your actions towards taking chances whenever opportunities arise rather than be fear of failure.

3) Thankful & appraisal
Be appreciative to your fellow friends, collegues or any one else who you know. It does not take to lift a heavy rock by just saying words like "you have done well", "your support is most appreciated", "what a great idea you have" and many more appraisal greetings you can express whenever you want to appreciate others for their excellent help or companionship. Appreciate & respect others and you will eventually be respected. People will tends to offer their help willingly because they know at least they are very much appreciated at the end of it. There are people whom i know have never show their gratitude to others for their help as if it is their job to do so. Remember even if you have the authority to tell someone to do something without appreciating, that person will only carried out the task unwillingly, half heartedly, the results will be different.

4) Forgiving
How many of us really be the first to step out and say i am sorry for any argument or conflicts we are caught in where this is the only magical word to calm someone down and slowly bring that person to your detail discussion to access the probelm or conflicts. You can always say " I am sorry if i have offended you in some of my remarks but i think there is some misunderstand at first, lets sit down and discuss to identify the probelm" as an example. Be professional and forgiving otherwise 2 hotheaded will be drawing swords, no resolutive actions can be concluded.

5) Humorous & joyful
Create jokes whenever it is appropriate in any occasions of communicating with anyone. People will tends to exhange jokes with you too and makes you happy.

Try not to obsess about the problems at work, school or home that lead to negative feelings. This doesn’t mean you have to pretend to be happy when you feel stressed, anxious or upset. It’s important to deal with these negative feelings, but try to focus on the positive things in your life too. You may want to use a journal to keep track of things that make you feel happy or peaceful. Some research has shown that having a positive outlook can improve your quality of life and give your health a boost. You may also need to find ways to let go of some things in your life that make you feel stressed and overwhelmed. Make time for things you enjoy.

Of course there are more positive emotions in addition but the above can have significant impact to your life and their are not too difficult to express. Try it, stay happy & healthy!!!!!
