Our Feelings, Our Emotions, Our Thoughts

  FEELINGS

Post Written By Eugene Morgan

When it comes to emotions patience is required of us. Sometimes it is hard to control how we feel about things. Feelings tell us what we’re thinking at the moment. It is easy to compartmentalized our thoughts from what we feel. It is not easy to trace what thoughts we’re saying to ourselves to what emotions we feel. However, our thoughts don’t necessarily have to be traced. What we can do is to feel our feelings and if we need to express our feelings, do so— but also to own our feelings.  We’re not responsible for what we feel, but we’re ultimately responsible for how we use our feelings. We can’t allow our feelings to run us but we do need to allow ourselves to emote our feelings appropriately because that’s the natural order of things.

Think less, Feel More

“Get out of your head and get into your heart. Think less, feel more.”— Osho

For some of us, it is so easy to stay in our heads than to experience the feeling of life. We get so preoccupied with the thoughts in our heads that we can’t hear what our heart is telling us. If we let our heart lead us, then maybe we will find our passion and our purpose.  The quote above didn’t say not to think at all but to think less and feel more. Feelings bring color to our world when we allow ourselves to experience them. The more we feel the more we’re connected with our surroundings. We just don’t feel with our hearts, but feel with our hands, feel the chair we’re sitting on, feel the grounds we’re standing. Feeling also includes experiencing our life internally like paying attention to our body rhythms.

 

The Thoughts of Happiness

Happy.

“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.”— Marcus Aurelius

It is what thoughts we feed that entertain the mind.  So if we think about negative thoughts, then we will feel negative feelings. Instead, if we replace negative thoughts with positive ones, then we will feel positive feelings.  When we have positive feelings we behave positively. If we have negative thoughts, then we can also do something positive to evoke positive feelings.  So we do have within our power to change how we think and feel, just simply by doing something we like. We don’t have to abide by the power of our negative thoughts and feelings.
