Dear Friend,
May this find you well and happy. ********************************* This is Part 7 of your 18 segment weekly email course which you requested on "Understanding and Managing Emotions". For much more on this subject we suggest the book "The Psychology of Happiness" by Robert Elias Najemy which can be found as pdf ebooks at http://HolisticHarmony.com/ebooks/index.asp and also in your booksores, at Amazon.com or for 40% discount at http://www.HolisticHarmony.com/psychofhappiness.html May you enjoy it and benefit from it. ********************************** UNDERSTANDING EMOTIONS In order to create the healthy, happy and harmonious reality we all desire, we will need to create emotional harmony. This process can be divided into six basic steps: 1. Recognize our emotions. 2. Accept them as they are. 3. Release them. 4. Understand how they are created. 5. Transform them through understanding and create more positive ones. 6. Transcend them and our personality. Here we will present a short profile of some of the basic emotions. We have developed specific questionnaires for understanding each one. As this book would have become prohibitively large if we included them here, those who are seriously seeking to understand themselves can download these questionnaires from our web site at www.HolisticHarmony.com. Answering those questions will help you discover how those emotions are created and how you might transform them. Overcoming Anxiety In order to create the healthy, happy and harmonious reality we all desire, we will need to create emotional harmony. This process can be divided into six basic steps: 1. Recognize our emotions. 2. Accept them as they are. 3. Release them when necessary. 4. Understand how they are created. 5. Transform the negative ones through understanding and create more positive ones. 6. Transcend them. Here we will present a short profile of some of the basic emotions. We have developed specific questionnaires for understanding each one. As this book would have become prohibitively large if we included them here, those who are seriously seeking to understand themselves can download these questionnaires from our web site at http://www.HolisticHarmony.com/research/emotions.html. (for members but membership is free) Answering those questions will help you discover how those emotions are created and how you might transform them. ANXIETY AND WORRY Anxiety and worry, although obviously forms of fear, have become so common that it is worth looking at them separately. Anxiety often concerns the factors of time and results. We are anxious because we fear that we will not have enough time to complete all that we have planned, or that the result will not be successful, perfect or acceptable to the others. We worry often for the same reasons, but also when we fear something may not turn out as we hope. That "something" may concern ourselves, our children, or our parents or spouse, which of course, ultimately, through our attachment to these people, has to do with ourselves. We learn to worry as children, and this becomes a habit causing us to search for issues to be anxious or worrisome about, even when there is nothing really important enough to merit such a concern. We may wonder at times why our mind thinks so much about a particular matter, creating anxiety and worry, when in reality that matter is not so important to us. Anxiety and worry contain a feeling of danger, that we are unable to achieve what we want or protect ourselves from others or events. It is a form of self-doubt and lack of faith in ourselves, others and the Divine Laws of the universe. "Soul-utions" For this reason, we would do well to employ a daily program of: 1. Exercises 2. Breathing techniques 3. Deep relaxation with positive projection, 4. Meditation 5. A healthy diet 6. Creative self-expression. These activities will help reorganize our energy patterns, freeing us from the hold of negative thoughts. Positive antidotes to anxiety and worry could be: 1. Faith in divine wisdom and justice; that all will occur as is necessary and beneficial for our growth process. This belief allows us to surrender to the wisdom of the universe and feel secure even when externally we are being challenged by difficult situations. This does not mean that we do not seek to create the reality we prefer, but simply that we feel sure that the results of our efforts will be the best for our growth regardless of whether they are what we prefer. 2. Confidence in our ability to deal with whatever life brings us. Why should we doubt that we can deal with whatever comes? We have encountered so many tests in life, and here we are alive and reading this. We have survived. We, as spirit, are greater than any possible human experience. 3. Realizing that we are worthy of love and acceptance as we are. Much of our anxiety has to do with our doubts about our self-worth which we tend to measure by what others think and by the results of our efforts. Accepting ourselves as we are removes much anxiety. 4. Living in and enjoying the present moment. Our fears, regrets, anxiety and worry seldom have to do with the present, but rather with the past and future. But neither actually exist. The past exists only to the degree that we carry it in our minds. The future is equally an illusion. Focusing on what we are doing in the present moment releases us from anxiety and worry. UNDERSTANDING ANXIETY AND WORRY This is a part of a series of articles with questions, which will help us understand our emotions and how we can free ourselves from unwanted ones. Some questions that might be useful here are: 1."What are the issues or matters about which you have anxiety or worry?" 2. " How often do you have these feelings?" 3. "Why are these issues or subjects important to you? Explain. 4. "What do you fear will happen if this matter does not turn out as you want it to?" What it is that you will not be able to deal with?" "What will be unbearable for you?" 5. "If in, actuality, this matter does not turn out as you want it to, how long do you think it will take you to re-find your peace and happiness?" 6. "Why do you doubt that this matter will turn out as you want it to?" " What programming or beliefs cause you to fear that it will not happen as you want it to?" 7. "Does your anxiety or worry help you to solve the problem, or function more effectively, so as to get the results that you want, or does it cause your mind to waste energy, time, and perhaps even sleep on negative thoughts?" 8. " Do you want to have anxiety or to worry?" "If not, why not?" " Why would you prefer not have this anxiety or worry? What are its negative effects in your life?" 9. "Which beliefs will you need to change in order to think more positively in these cases and be more sure that things will turn out as you want them to?" 10. " Which beliefs will you need to change in order to believe that, even in the possible case that things do not happen as you want them to, that you will be okay, that you will survive and will again be happy?" 11. " Is it possible that you might not want to stop worrying, that you are getting something out of this, perhaps a part of you (perhaps subconscious) likes for some reason to worry or have anxiety? If so, what might be the gain?" 12. " Is there anything which you would like to express to others concerning these matters?" Now you may like to describe how you would like to think, feel and respond in future situations. You may find it more powerful to write your description in the present tense as if it is already a reality.
