[Molly L. Stranahan, Psy.D]˚ Joy – “the emotion or great delight or happiness caused by something good or satisfying; keen pleasure.” We can increase our joy by noticing good things, and being grateful, and not setting the requirements for happiness and joy too high. The message of joy is “how do I find more.” Paying attention to what is happening when you feel joy gives us clues about things we should do more often in our lives. The pleasure you feel watching a beautiful sunset on vacation can remind you to go outside around the time the sun sets wherever you are Enthusiasm – “lively, absorbing interest; excited involvement.” This is the feeling of being ‘lit up’ with excitement and energy for something you are doing. Enthusiasm describes what we are experiencing when we are so engaged in what we are doing we lose track of time, and may even forget to eat a meal. Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi calls this state ‘flow’ and he posits it is an important factor in a life of meaning and happiness. Noticing the times you feel enthusiasm is a great guide for activities you should make more time for in your life If feelings are recognized and honored for the message they bring, they can pass through us, having fulfilled their function. Once you identify that an uncomfortable feeling is occurring, there are questions to ask yourself. Is there something about the situation that needs to change? Is there danger, or has someone hurt you? Is there some action you need to take to protect yourself? What beliefs about ourselves, or the situation or the world are we using to interpret what has happened? Once we identify beliefs that are connected to our feeling, we can question the truth of them, and whether they serve us. Then we can look for alternative beliefs that can lead to a different feeling. Identifying EmotionsThe matrix below is designed to help you recognize your feelings, the messages that underlie the feelings, the gift of the emotion, and what you can do in response to the feeling to honor it, and to shift it. related threads/material in process Born in 1944 in Lisbon, Portugal, Damasio has been chair of the University of Iowa’s neurology department since 1986. He and his wife, neurologist Hanna Damasio, have created one of the world’s largest databases of brain injuries, comprising hundreds of studies of brain lesions and diagnostic images. As profound as some of the damage is to Antonio Damasio’s patients, all of it informs his understanding of how emotions and feelings arise and how they can affect mental illness. In recent years, Damasio has become increasingly interested in the role emotions play in our decision-making processes and in our self-image. In several widely popular books, he has shown how certain feelings are cornerstones of our survival. And today he argues that our internal, emotional regulatory processes not only preserve our lives but actually shape our greatest cultural accomplishments. to read article in its entirety •➃ [thread-link] Caring For Your Mind Body and Soul Molly L.
