Emotion-Energy in Motion, How it Influences Your Life

Emotion simply means energy in motion - do your emotions drive your habits or do your habits comply with your emotions? Ever thought of it?

Rather than attempting to rely this question I'm going to give you some concept to think about after which you can now make the decision for yourself.

There are two basic emotions - love and fear - all others are simply associated to these in some direct or indirect way. For instance -fear can be the muse for - guilt, resentment, anxiousness, frustration, impatience, anger or envy. Love however can be demonstrated with - happiness, internal peace, pleasure, calm, serene, bliss or cheerfulness.


The important thing point I wish to make is that habits and emotions are related. Whether one precedes the other or not, it isn't the query at this point but fairly - which feelings usually guide your motion, choices or habits? Are they grounded in fear or love?

For example - when hassle strikes because it always does in some way often in everyone's life, is your first response a fear or love based emotion? Or is your fear or love primarily based emotional state inflicting the problem that you are experiencing?

As an instance you're a worrier (a fear based mostly emotion) and your constant worry about one thing (financial safety, fitness or a relationship) causes you to repeatedly deal with what could go wrong. Well one in all my favourite quotes by Homer is "Circumstances don't decide the person; they reveal who the individual actually is."

My original question was - do your emotions drive your habits or do your habits comply with your emotions? Getting a hint so far as to which can be ruling your everyday life? No? OK one more example.

Let's say you just lost something important to you. How do you react? Do you respond with gratitude and harmony (that is when a door closes another one - always an improved one - opens) or is your immediate response the one of fear?

In the illustrations above I have illustrated the 2 alternatives - either your feelings cause or add to your outcomes? Or your outcomes add to your emotions.

Regardless of which drives your life - the key thing to bear in mind is that when negative (fear dependent feelings are running the show) thing not often turn out well or as hoped.

As humans our first response to any challenge or uncertainty is - fight, flight or freeze. This initial reaction comes from the oldest part of your mind what is referred to as the Reptilian brain. The most youthful fraction of your brain is stranded in love and its relatives.


The most excellent technique to always come at any circumstances despite the consequences of the menace or potential outcome is with a manner of appreciation. When you can comprehend this (and I know it's not always easy) you grant yourself the opportunity to view circumstances or situations in other positive (love based) way. In the last part, regardless of the challenge, this is the greatest manner to confront every problem regardless of its potential either encouraging or depressing.
