Emotions: How They Shape Us and Why We Should Learn to Deal with Them
Emotions—how often do we stop to think about their influence on us? I believe that we are often unaware of how much power they hold and what they can do to us when left unprocessed.
Emotions are complex psychophysiological reactions to specific events, experiences, or thoughts. They arise in response to external stimuli (like an unexpected event) or internal thoughts, such as memories or imaginings. An emotion is not simply a feeling but a holistic process that involves physical reactions, mental processes, and behaviors.
Emotions can be categorized into different types, such as:
Positive emotions
Negative emotions
Neutral emotions
Self Love
Self-love – a term that somehow annoys us. It’s kind of clear, but not really. Self-love, self-care, accessing one’s own emotions, happiness, stress regulation, and so on – we don’t learn these things in school, even though it would be so important to integrate these aspects into everyday life. And to understand that it’s also about this. Not just about performance, evaluation, and perfection! So, how can we learn to love ourselves? In a world largely shaped by external demands, comparisons, and perfectionistic expectations.
Nervous System
A very important topic on the healing journey is our nervous system. If I had known earlier how immensely it impacts the body, I would have taken better care of it much sooner.
Our nervous system is one of the most complex and important systems of the human body. It controls nearly all the functions we perform – from simple movements to the deepest emotional reactions.
But like any system, the nervous system can become imbalanced. Stress, too much work, chronic illnesses, or emotional strain can cause our bodies to show various symptoms, and we may feel completely out of balance.
Affirmations
Affirmations are far more than just a few nice sentences you say to yourself in the morning in front of the mirror. They are powerful tools to transform our thinking, mindset, and ultimately our lives. But what exactly are affirmations, how do they work, and why is it worth integrating them into your daily routine?
Self-Concept
The self-concept is the idea we have of ourselves – the sum of our beliefs, thoughts, values, and feelings about ourselves. It includes how we see ourselves (self-image), how we believe others see us (social image), and how we would like to be (ideal image).
