Fascinating Search for Emotional Balance

Whoa What Am I Feeling!

 “I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.”― Oscar Wilde

Emotions and feelings define our life experience  more accurately than any other factor.The constant set of emotions we feel throughout the day dictate how we encounter the  life.Yet most of us never evaluate our emotions or the range of colours they represent,nor the impact they have on our life experience.

Assessment of our emotions and feelings is an essential duty we owe our personal mind- body systems.No one else ,other than us ,is responsible for our emotional responses to situations. Two people under similar challenging  circumstances, are likely to respond in diametric opposition to each other.This varying response to stimulus proves that our emotions are not prisoner to external situations. Instead, they are enslaved to our choices.And we ourselves are responsible for our choices,no one else.

When we decide to do so,we will find ourselves constantly experiencing fabulous emotions.Regardless of external stimuli.This is a reality for scores of people who choose  to select empowering  emotions over dis empowering ones,in all circumstances.

Empowering emotions,simply leave you feeling balanced,calm,confident,pleasant,happy,strong ,capable,and centered.Yet they don’t have to ever leave you.They can remain with you as long as you want.In fact the real blessing is when you make a habit out of them,through repetitive cycles of  empowering emotional responses,over a wide range of circumstance and stimuli.
