EMOTION
·
Affect is the innate, biological response to the increasing,
decreasing or persistent intensity of neural firing. This results in a
particular feeling, facial and body display, and skin changes. Affects feel
rewarding, punishing, or neutral in their own ways. Affect makes things urgent.
·
Awareness of an affect is
a feeling.
·
A feeling plus memory of
prior similar feelings is an emotion.
(From www.Tomkins.org)
EMOTION is at the heart
of your positive and negative existence and it springs from a complexity of
biological wiring that makes us who we are.
If you are feeling flat about your current life situation then it is
possible emotions have become scary to you and you are unconsciously working
hard not to feel. EMOTIONS are scary
when we have been shamed for EMOTIONAL expression in the past. Have you ever had the experience of an
EMOTION and found yourself curious as to why you would feel that certain
way? That EMOTION is full of information
about something in your memory bank that is currently not consciously available
to you. Healthy people have a wide range
of EMOTION and are EMOTIONALLY available to his/herself and others. EMOTION is the spice of life and without a
wide range of EMOTION then life becomes dull and boring. Invite your EMOTIONS to have expression in
your daily life. Color your EMOTIONS. Write your EMOTIONS. Journal an EMOTIONAL letter to yourself or
someone you care deeply about. Explore your EMOTIONS and flex your EMOTIONS to
change the daily landscape of your life.
