Lisa Cypers Kamen Harvesting Happiness
By Lisa Cypers Kamen, Harvesting Happiness
Negative emotions such as worry, anger, fear, and resentment are called negative emotions because they lead to thoughts that drain away our time, energy and forward direction. Can you remember a time when you were feeling good, working on something or perhaps enjoying time with friends and then a worry or resentful feeling washed over you and lead to some negative thoughts? Pretty soon you find yourself feeling lousy, not wanting to participate and you might sit down and feel really terrible not wanting to do much of anything except feel bad.
That’s how negative emotions and thoughts derail us on the happy journey of life. Now let’s look at the reverse. Think about a time where you feel joy, elation, hope, and excitement. Do you feel the power? You can actually feel your power levels rise and you start moving – talking, dancing, creating and living. So next time you find yourself down in the dumps, worrying, feeling angry, fearful or having resentments change your thoughts to something brighter and feel those negative emotions fall away. In a positive state you can then do something about the situation that is related to those negative emotions and solve the problem.
