Practical Insights To Fuse Your Mind And Emotions

I wish I knew this sooner!

I remember going up to a girl at a train station in London and trying to get her number. It was horrible.

I was so nervous and I experienced a wave of emotions at the center of my being. It was so intense that I felt paralyzed. The only communication I could manage in my words and actions felt semi-robotic.

Looking back I could tell she felt it, and come to think of it, that might be why she told me, after a big sigh of discomfort, “The truth is I’m just not interested.”

Oooooooh that hurt.

The issue was that I didn’t allow myself to feel many of my emotions back then, I was blocking them out. That’s a silent killer.

These days, no matter what I’m doing, my priority is to really feel the emotions flowing through me at every instant and it’s completely changing the results in my life for the better.

I want to give you some background about emotions from my own understanding. This will help you better understand your own emotions and how to make them work for you instead of against you.

Although emotions are becoming a bigger part of our conversations as a society, a lot of people still reject their own and haven’t a clue how to really feel them consciously.

We all seem to be caught up in having the right mindset for productivity, abundance, or wealth. The list goes on. The truth is that, while you’re thinking is of paramount importance, emotions are always tied in with the thoughts. They are fused together.

We must learn both sides of the coin.

Because the thoughts and emotions are fused together we must learn to feel the emotions we’re experiencing and analyze the thoughts that come up alongside them.

You want to feel your emotions, this is how you feel after all, and it’s vital to be aware of that. Doing so means you’re not rejecting the emotions that come up, you’re embracing them and looking at the perspective (thoughts) you have in your mind when those emotions come up.

The understanding you gain about yourself as you do that in the present moment is very valuable.
