How to Overcome Emotional Negativity A 10 day Guide to Knockout Negative Feelings

By STORM WILKINSON

We have so many ways to fix negative feelings, to minimize their impact, that we have the strong impression we no longer need to feel them. There's taking a pill, drug or other mind-altering substance; calling a friend; seeing a movie; having sex; and so forth and so on. We seldom if ever notice our great loss in employing these strategies to stunt or stupefy negative emotional experience.
What's lost is learning new unexpected things about ourself - and thus about life. Negative emotional experience just happens to be the only place we'll find new information trying to access our life, offering us the chance to see some part of ourselves differently, thus capable of changing us.
Positive feeling experience is wonderful. It's no surprise or sin that we want to spend as much time inside it as possible. Nothing else makes more sense. But that doesn't mean to kill the baby with the bathwater. We all want to ease distress and unhappiness as efficiently as possible. But positive emotional energy doesn't offer anything new; that's what's so good about it - no hassles. Learning always disturbs. That's what makes it such a good carrier of new information.
The question is whether, in being happy, we avoid taking even a moment to pluck just one valuable piece of new information out of our unhappiness before abandoning it? That's all it takes to learn, to build upon that one piece.
This book would help bring a permanent solution to all your emotional negativity issues and help you balance your emotions.

Chapter One

How Emotions are Wired

Have you ever thought to yourself, I'm on the wrong side of the bed today?

Have you ever caught off an employee or family member for no specific reason?

When you have it, you are probably wondering where emotions and moods come from. We're resuming the discussion of moods here, because while emotions are supposed to be influenced by events rather than moods, ironically, researchers have done more research into the sources of moods than on the sources of certain emotions.

Sources of mood, although many of these sources also influence emotions. TV personality call when your team loses a big game, her friend seems to care that her team doesn't stand a chance to win?

Think of a different situation. Noel and Jose are colleagues. Noel has one tendency to get angry when a colleague criticizes their ideas during a brainstorming session.

However, Jose is fairly calm and relaxed and sees these reviews as an opportunity for improvement.

What explains these different reactions? Personality increases the likelihood of people experiencing certain moods and feelings.

For example, some people are more likely to feel guilty and angry than others do.

Others feel calm and relaxed regardless of the situation. In other words, mood and emotions play a crucial role - most of them have an inherent tendency to encounter certain dispositions and feelings more often
