Dear Friend,
May this find you well and happy. ********************************* This is Part 16 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. ********************************** THE PSYCHOLOGY OF GRATITUDE We have spoken here primarily about negative unpleasant emotions. What about positive ones? There is not much benefit from analyzing why we feel happy, as such an analysis will likely reveal that our sources of happiness are based on external factors which could easily change. We might also discover that we are dependent on external sources for our feelings of security, self worth and happiness. Faith and love are the basis for positive feelings. We will discuss the various aspects of love and unity in a future chapter. Right now, however, I would like to briefly address one positive emotion; gratitude. We have so much to be grateful for and yet gratitude is a rarely felt emotion. This is especially true if we compare our lives with eighty percent of those sharing the planet with us. We would all benefit by realizing how blessed our lives are. Sharing such positive feelings of appreciation, gratitude and joy also enriches and beautifies our environment and the lives of those around us. A simple technique is to spend a few minutes each day thinking of or even listing those aspects of our lives for which we could be grateful. Even the most taken for granted simplicities of life, such as running water, a warm home, friends and family, can be sources of joy when seen through such eyes. Some have even developed the ability to feel grateful for their unpleasant experiences and injustices because they often offer us the opportunity to develop inner strength and deep insight into ourselves and life itself. When we worry about what we do not have or what we have lost, we neglect and thus, lose all those wonderful things we do have. Ken Keyes calls this "The mosquito effect". If we manage to eliminate nine out of ten mosquitoes in a room, we will still be annoyed by the remaining one. If we have ten problems and solve nine of them, rather than being grateful for the nine solutions, we obsess-over the remaining problem. If we own ten objects and lose one of them, rather than feel grateful for and enjoying the remaining nine, we will experience the pain of the loss of that one. Where would you prefer to place your focus; on what you have or what you do not have? Would you prefer to see the glass as half empty or half full? Would you prefer to perceive the problem in every opportunity or the opportunity in every problem? ************************************ If you like what you are reading, you willădefinetly want to get the book The Psychology of Happiness by Robert Elias Najemy, which can be downloaded as an ebook pdf file or ordered from http://HolisticHarmony.com/ebooks/index.asp ******************************** B> ********* Membership is free and you can access 600 articles, chapters and ebooks for free.Become a Member********* Our Free ezine Claritygreater health, happiness and harmonious relationships.
