Emotions have been giving a bad reputation. In the past I have even heard some say that you cannot trust YOUR emotions because they would lead you down the wrong road for YOUR LIFE. That idea has never sat right with me. I could not make sense how something that is good for me and does not harm to other deliberately or, but happenstance could be wrong for ME. I have a voice that has guided me through most of my decisions. I say most because sometimes I don't listen seek council or hear the guidance from within. However, when i do follow the suggestions form that voice or internal knowing I have always ended up better for it and much better off than the original plan. It is my experience that our emotions are our navigation system and that they are specifically tuned to our personal and unsharable database. We carry with us a repository of knowledge skills abilities and interactions that all shape the way we interact in the future. No one else KNOWS your life and interactions that way you do. Your emotions are your control panel, and you are responsible to make sure that they are serving YOU and that you can adjust their sensitivity at any time. Recalibration of your emotions take practice and direction. You have to live on purpose not WITH purpose. If you cry every time, you see a puppy and you have no idea why and it does make sense to you Then you need to recalibrate that response to better suit your current mindset. I usually refer to my physical body as my spaceship and i will discuss that in another post. If you consider your body as a vessel that you use to navigate this world than it would make sense that it has a control panel and a navigations system. The control panel is just as you guessed it Your brain and the navigation system as stated before is your emotions. Pay attention to what they are telling you because they are for you and you alone. They can be outdated. If you have not come to terms with the reason why the sight of a puppy makes you cry then it will until YOU address it and change the parameters of threat function.
Example I know i have an irrational fear of drowning and i have no childhood experience that would have prompted such fear that i can remember however I am working on recalibrating that emotion towards large deep bodies of water. I address this by staying present when the fear is coming up and reminding myself that i am ok (because i usually am) I have even decided to take trips that require me to experience large deep bodies of water and was forcing myself to stay present in my current safe place and stop myself for predicting and envisioning the worst that could happen to me. I am still working on this and have come to the conclusion that I may not get the fear to go away completely so for right now I am working on interactions that I can manage while having a heathy respect for the power of the natural world. We can go a bit deeper on th topic if need be but remember that what is for you is not just applied to the world outside of your body/spaceship it also applies to what going on in your internal world that one that ONLY you can see fell and hear(in some cases)
