Emotions are usually one of the most misunderstood and most repressed members of our personality. They are often maligned, feared, buried and neglected.
——– > For Example: Can you identify 5 feelings you are aware of right now?
In most Western cultures, men are taught early to suppress and ignore the way they feel. While some would claim, women are given too much space to play on their and other’s emotions. Neither of these claims are true for all men or all women.
Our family of origin is often hot bed of unspoken feelings. Here is where we learn how to express the over whelming or distorted emotions. Our parents and other adults are the role models. However, did they express healthy communication? Like 99% of people during 99% of the time – probably not. Yet we learn how to identify and share our feelings by watching those around you.
Most people need help to really get in touch with their feelings. For many, it’s like learning a new skill. So much emotional energy goes into being ‘passive yet aggressive’ when the pressure builds. Others just bury any and all feelings in case they get rejected.
Please know – Emotions are not the Enemy!
Learning to identify and express any feeling in a balanced way is part of healthy emotional growth. It’s also part of good communication and, and, and ………. the list goes on.
The word “emotions” is not a Biblical term. However, we find general principles, such as “mourn with those who mourn”, Romans 12:15, “be angry, but sin not”, Ephesians 4:26. Scriptures like these tell us that Emotions are not to be quenched, but respected. We are created in God’s image, and He has emotions too, so we must value them, because He does!

Most people who experience heavy stress have no idea how to control their reactions to the issues they face … or that they are even reacting to the stress at all. “It’s Life. You just keep on keeping on keeping on until …..”
Most of us experience stress because we feel out of control over one or many situations. While we may not always be able to eliminate the factors that are causing the stress in our lives, it is possible to control our reactions to the stress.
Once you know the signs of your own reaction cycles, you can catch your thinking. Then you can see the connection between thinking – emotions – behavior.

Burnout means these reserves are very low – or for some people, completely gone. Major physical and psychological damage in made to the whole system when this happens.

‘Mind Chatter’ is often just below the surface of our conscious thought. Sometimes, this chatter can be self-destructive, or it can be building good health. Sometimes, it’s a mater of catching the false and negative and rebuilding in the positive thoughts. The Bible calls it ‘Renewing the Mind’.
Some of this internal dialogue is true … but most negative self-talk is false and distorted, often ruining the good mental health we all need. Remember what we think about life will influence our Emotions – which in turn will influence our behavior. If I think I am not worth other people’s time, how will I behave? If I think I am unattractive, how will I behave?
Although we all began this self-talk as children, it greatly shapes our world today. If I believe those – false – comments made by my neighbor about my size and face shape when I was 10 years old, those words can still echo into what I think of myself now. Parents, siblings and the views of peers are very important to children – but many of their comments were not true.
How do we overcome this self-rejecting and often self crippling inner voice? Can we be free to see ourselves the way our Creator made us to be? The answers are in this FREE ‘Self-Talk? What is that?” eBook. Learn to catch the thinking – emotions – behavior cycles.
