Concept and characteristics

Positive emotions - what is it?

The very word "positive" already speaks for itself, this is what brings feeling of contentment and happiness.

Emotions are a psychological process in the human body, which caused by a number of factors:

• environment;
• People around;
• children, grandchildren;
• holidays;
• meeting nice people
• good weather and so on.

All that brings a person positive feelings - these are the factors that cause positive emotions.

Emotion is characterized by psychologists as a process in the body psychological nature, which has an average duration and completely depends on the subjective perception of the world.

That is, each of us has some internal installations that can cause joy, a feeling of happiness.

For some, these factors are noticeably narrowed and limited, such people are commonly called pessimists.

For others, on the contrary, even moments that are imperceptible in everyday life can bring joy:

• Birdsong;
• bright sun;
• good word.

This optimists or those people who have an attitude - to love life as it is. This is a rare variety of people, the so-called optimists in life, who can rejoice in the usual things in the understanding of most things.

But they experience real joy from these ordinary things and objects and receive positive emotions much more often than those who do not notice them.

Psychologists share two related concepts - positive emotions and positive emotions. Although they are very similar, positive It is customary to attribute those emotions that cause a person to factors that bring him inner pleasure or pleasure.

TO positive more include emotions caused by evaluative criteria either of the person himself or of the people around him.

A person can evoke positive emotions in himself by adjusting himself in a certain way.

What are there?

To be satisfied with what is happening in your life, to experience inner harmony and positive emotions is what everyone should strive for.

After all, as you know, negative thoughts and negative emotions lead to internal imbalance, causing disturbances not only in the psychological state, but also in the physical one.

The human body has a clear structure interconnected systems, and if one of its components fails, the others also fail.

Why do doctors often determine when diagnosing a disease? main cause of a disease-, increased nervousness, constant, negative thoughts?

It is negative emotions that give impetus to the development of various diseases.

Therefore, always be in good shape and think, and live with positive emotions - very important for every person.

Let's take a closer look at the types of positive emotions. Main classification consists of a list of the following positive emotions:

1. - the greatest satisfaction with everything that happens.
2. Joy is the enjoyment of what is happening.
3. Serenity - peace and inner harmony.
4. Desire to achieve your goal.
5. Hope is a dream + positive expectations.
6. Admiration is a feeling of enjoying other people's talents, things, nature, etc.
7. Interest is the desire to conquer new horizons.
8. Surprise from pleasant events.
9. Reverence - great respect and awe from someone or something.
10. Relief after solving life problems.

All these positive emotions can be received from external factors, but you can also develop these feelings within yourself and not wait for an opportunity, but be able to notice what would cause at least one of these emotions.

How to get or where to get?

Everyone must have had days "when you lower your hands, and there are no words, no music, no strength".

On such days, nothing pleases and to do especially.

Main Don't let this inner state consume you whole. This can lead to mental illness.

As you know, “saving the drowning is the work of the drowning themselves,” which means that something must be done about it and these very positive emotions must be taken from somewhere.

Here a number of tips, which can help to cope with the blues, apathy, and even call on positive emotions to help themselves:

It is important in the process of tuning into positive emotions to give yourself the installation that you - happy man, already from the fact that you just live and have many options to diversify your life and see the good even in ordinary things.

For example, you went outside - the weather is rainy, windy, nothing portends an improvement in your mood, but note that autumn nature, even in the rain, is saturated with colors and shades.

Take a walk in the park and enjoy the colors of golden autumn. The internal installation will definitely work, and you will leave your gloomy thoughts and experiences.

Words that evoke emotion

You can also set yourself up in a positive way and with the help of words which you can repeat out loud or to yourself.

Remember the movie "I am the most charming and attractive", where the heroine of Irina Muravyova constantly repeated these words, and became self-confident and self-sufficient.

Indeed, the words that we pronounce even mentally affect our subconscious. giving the body impulses of a different nature. As the proverb says: “Tell a man that he is a pig, a hundred times, he will grunt”.

And if you tell yourself that you are a self-sufficient happy person, then on a subconscious level, completely different pictures will be drawn that will confirm the correctness of these words.

Not for nothing do Buddhists practice mantra recitation when positive words heal a person from the inside and create a positive aura around him. And the Christians repeat prayers that inspire optimism and positivity in them.

Words that will help you be happier include:

• Gratitude;
• happiness;
• joy;
• inspiration;
• success;
• self-sufficiency;
• originality;
• confidence.

You can come up with a simple text, which you say several times a day, for example: “ I am very grateful your parents.

What came into being. I am confident, self-sufficient a person who is not afraid of difficulties.

I can overcome everything I am strong and have my own opinion. I can enjoy even the smallest things and share this joy with others. Life is actually full of pleasant surprises and happiness.”

Do not be afraid to say yourself words that evoke positive emotions in you even at a subconscious level.

Even if you internally feel that you are not yet ready to enjoy the little things, then after a while, you will learn to really enjoy them if you engage in this kind of training.

How to set yourself up for positive?

And further it is worth setting yourself up for a number of moments:

1. Don't be offended.
2. Don't slander.
3. Do not go from depression to alcohol or, even worse, drugs.
4. Accept reality as it is.
5. Do not engage in self-digging.
6. See the good even in the negative.
7. Believe that everything is really great.

Take a piece of paper and divide it into two equal parts- in one column write what is negative for you at the moment, in the second - all the pluses of your life.

If you do not forget to enter in the second column such items as the ability to live, breathe, walk, communicate, the presence of relatives, friends, colleagues, nice people, beautiful places near home, the ability to change your life at your own discretion, the ability to love and give love to others, and so on, then the pluses in your life will be noticeably longer.

And the cons will seem so small that you don’t want to pay attention to them at all.

Know how to be happy this will help to maintain not only a calm, balanced internal psychological state, but also physical health.

Think positively, then life will sparkle with new colors, and positive emotions will help to avoid both large and small troubles.

Positive emotions as a powerful source of energy:

It says like attracts like. Thinking about debt and illness, you attract them into your life. When you are experiencing positive emotions- even more positive comes to you. And this is true in all areas of human life.

If you constantly worry that you do not have money, you are afraid that you will not be able to pay off your debts, then you will not be able to achieve a state of abundance.

If you constantly expect that you can quarrel with someone close to you, then most likely you will.

If you experience negative emotions, then you are in a state of stress, which means that your health suffers inexorably.

And what kind of happiness can we talk about if you are in captivity of negative emotions?!

Getting ready for the next lesson "Workshop of positive emotions" In Jerry and Esther Hicks' book Ask and You Will Receive, I found an illustration of The Emotional Scale.

Your thoughts create feelings, feelings create vibrations, vibrations make thoughts come true. If your thoughts are negative, they will cause negative emotions and negative energy, which leads to stress and illness. Positive thoughts will create positive energy and lead to health, harmony and abundance.

Positive emotions lead you in an upward spiral. Negative emotions - start the process of falling down. Using this scale, you can easily understand where you are at different points in your life, and in which direction you are moving - towards health and success, or towards stress and problems.

The main types of positive emotions:

• Flow, inspiration, creativity, open thinking, initiative
• Humor, enthusiasm, surprise

What to do in order to increase positive vibrations, to climb up the spiral?

Positive emotions help to relax, be in a state of harmony, find creative solutions and easily achieve your goals.

Numerous studies have shown that there is a direct link between the mind and the body that leads to a state of long-term health. In recent years, the development of the direction of science - PsychoNeuroImmunology, which studies how thinking affects the health and condition of the body. Scientists have confirmed that emotions "turn on" various diseases and lead to dysfunction of the body's organs.

Exercises and practices that lead to relaxation and harmonization of brain activity, such as meditation, visualization, positive thinking, the Emotional Liberation Technique, lead to a change in the charge of emotions from negative to positive, and affect the human immune system.

It's hard for me to sort out my feelings - a phrase that each of us has come across: in books, in movies, in life (someone's or our own). But it is very important to be able to understand your feelings.

Wheel of Emotions by Robert Plutchik

Some believe - and perhaps they are right - that the meaning of life is in feelings. Indeed, at the end of life, only our feelings, real or in memories, remain with us. Yes, and the measure of what is happening can also be our experiences: the richer, more diverse, brighter they are, the more fully we feel life.

What are feelings? The simplest definition: feelings are what we feel. This is our attitude to certain things (objects). There is also a more scientific definition: feelings (higher emotions) are special mental states that are manifested by socially conditioned experiences that express a person’s long-term and stable emotional relationship to things.

How are feelings different from emotions?

Sensations are our experiences that we experience through the senses, and we have five of them. Sensations are visual, auditory, tactile, gustatory and odor sensations (our sense of smell). With sensations, everything is simple: stimulus - receptor - sensation.

Our consciousness interferes with emotions and feelings - our thoughts, attitudes, our thinking. Emotions are influenced by our thoughts. And vice versa - emotions affect our thoughts. We will discuss these relationships in more detail a little later. But now let's recall once again one of the criteria for psychological health, namely point 10: we are responsible for our feelings, it depends on us what they will be. It is important.

Fundamental emotions

All human emotions can be distinguished by the quality of experience. This aspect of a person's emotional life is most clearly presented in the theory of differential emotions by the American psychologist K. Izard. He identified ten qualitatively different "fundamental" emotions: interest-excitement, joy, surprise, grief-suffering, anger-rage, disgust-disgust, contempt-neglect, fear-horror, shame-shyness, guilt-repentance. K. Izard classifies the first three emotions as positive, the remaining seven as negative. Each of the fundamental emotions underlies a whole range of states that differ in severity. For example, within the framework of such a single-modal emotion as joy, one can single out joy-satisfaction, joy-delight, joy-jubilation, joy-ecstasy, and others. From the combination of fundamental emotions, all other, more complex, complex emotional states arise. For example, anxiety can combine fear, anger, guilt, and interest.

1. Interest - a positive emotional state that contributes to the development of skills and abilities, the acquisition of knowledge. Interest-excitation is a feeling of capture, curiosity.

2. Joy is a positive emotion associated with the ability to sufficiently fully satisfy an urgent need, the probability of which before that was small or uncertain. Joy is accompanied by self-satisfaction and satisfaction with the surrounding world. Obstacles to self-realization are also obstacles to the emergence of joy.

3. Surprise - an emotional reaction that does not have a clearly expressed positive or negative sign to sudden circumstances. Surprise inhibits all previous emotions, directing attention to a new object and can turn into interest.

4. Suffering (grief) - the most common negative emotional state associated with the receipt of reliable (or seeming such) information about the impossibility of satisfying the most important needs, the achievement of which before that seemed more or less likely. Suffering has the character of an asthenic emotion and often proceeds in the form emotional stress. The most severe form of suffering is grief associated with irretrievable loss.

5. Anger - a strong negative emotional state, occurring more often in the form of affect; arises in response to an obstacle in achieving passionately desired goals. Anger has the character of a sthenic emotion.

6. Disgust - a negative emotional state caused by objects (objects, people, circumstances), contact with which (physical or communicative) comes into sharp conflict with the aesthetic, moral or ideological principles and attitudes of the subject. Disgust, if combined with anger, may interpersonal relationships motivate aggressive behavior. Disgust, like anger, can be directed at oneself, lowering self-esteem and causing self-judgment.

7. Contempt - a negative emotional state that occurs in interpersonal relationships and is generated by a mismatch of life positions, views and behavior of the subject with those of the object of feeling. The latter are presented to the subject as base, not corresponding to accepted moral standards and ethical criteria. A person is hostile to those whom he despises.

8. Fear - a negative emotional state that appears when the subject receives information about the possible damage to his life well-being, about real or imagined danger. In contrast to the suffering caused by direct blocking of the most important needs, a person, experiencing the emotion of fear, has only a probabilistic forecast of possible trouble and acts on the basis of this forecast (often insufficiently reliable or exaggerated). The emotion of fear can be both sthenic and asthenic in nature and proceed either in the form of stressful conditions, or in the form of a stable mood of depression and anxiety, or in the form of affect (horror).

9. Shame - a negative emotional state, expressed in the awareness of the inconsistency of one's own thoughts, actions and appearance not only with the expectations of others, but also with one's own ideas about proper behavior and appearance.

10. Guilt - a negative emotional state, expressed in the realization of the unseemliness of one's own act, thought or feelings and expressed in regret and repentance.

Table of human feelings and emotions

And I also want to show you a collection of feelings, emotions, states that a person experiences during his life - a generalized table that does not pretend to be scientific, but will help you better understand yourself. The table is taken from the site "Communities of dependent and co-dependent", the author is Mikhail.

All human feelings and emotions can be divided into four types. It is fear, anger, sadness and joy. To what type this or that feeling belongs can be found from the table.

And for those who read the article to the end. The purpose of this article is to help you understand your feelings, what they are. Our feelings largely depend on our thoughts. Irrational thinking often underlies negative emotions. By correcting these mistakes (by working on our thinking), we can be happier and achieve more in life. There is an interesting, but persistent and painstaking work on oneself. You are ready?

Negative and positive emotions are a way of reacting to certain events in life. It is important to remember that any life situation is initially neutral, it depends only on the person whether he succumbs to feelings. To tune in to a positive wave and protect yourself from negative emotions, it is enough to learn self-knowledge and self-control.

What are positive emotions

Positive emotions are such sensations that cause a surge of positive, cause a good mood, encourage. These include:

• confidence;
• delight;
• serenity;
• satisfaction;
• feeling of triumph;
• inspiration;
• tenderness;

• Delight;
• (not to be confused with pride);
• appeasement;
• , etc.

Their predominance makes a person happy, gives energy. They are the main engine to achieve goals, improve relationships with other people, because everyone loves the positive.

What can cause positive emotions

It is good when the positive emotions listed above appear spontaneously due to natural factors. But sometimes they need to be called "forcibly". For example, if a person is in a protracted period, feels a breakdown, feels lonely, he needs a dose of positive. Helping yourself is pretty easy.

Movement

Physical exercise causes a surge of endorphins. To cheer yourself up, you need to go to fitness, jog or just jump. If a bad mood is accompanied by apathy and you don’t feel like going anywhere at all, you can turn on cheerful music to dance at home.

affirmations

They help in the long run, because it is important not only to repeat the memorized phrases, but also to believe in them, to try to feel what they say. The content of affirmations depends on the desires, needs, for example:

• I am happily married.
• I am satisfied with my work.
• I am well.
• I feel a surge of strength, vivacity.

Smile

As the famous children's song says, a smile will make the day brighter. It really works. A smile is not only able to cheer up, but it is the main symbol of positive, and positive-minded people are more likely to attract their own kind.

Favorite hobby

If the cause of a bad mood is monotony or despondency, you need to do what you like or what you have long wanted to do. It can be a trip, a trip to nature, a trip to the cinema.

movie night

You can arrange a movie marathon. It is not necessary to watch only comedies, because you can touch the main emotions - joy, anger, fear, etc. It's like getting a current discharge during defibrillation, it's not good and not bad, it's a bunch of energy needed by the body. You can watch a melodrama and believe in love again, laugh at a comedy, or give yourself an adrenaline storm during a horror movie.

Pets

Pets, especially cats and dogs, are great at charging with positive. It's good when I have my own pet. If there is none, you can watch funny videos with animals, it’s not for nothing that they break records for likes.

Good deeds

What are negative emotions

Negative emotions are unpleasant sensations based on a negative perception of the situation that is discordant with the internal state of a person. In fact, it is up to the individual to decide how to react to troubles.

To understand this, it is enough to recall a picture from a biology textbook depicting. Four images show four different reactions to the same situation. A man sits on another man's hat. The melancholic begins to cry, the phlegmatic remains absolutely calm, the choleric loses his temper and screams, the sanguine laughs. The situation has not changed, but the perception has.

There are many negative emotions, the types of which can be classified according to the following criteria:

• . Anger, discontent, indignation, anger, irritation, curl, contempt, jealousy.
• Sadness. Disappointment, sorrow, pity, despair, sympathy, regret,.
• Fear. Anxiety, fear, fear, awe, excitement, worry, horror, alertness, panic.

How to protect yourself from negativity and negative emotions?

It is worth understanding that a negative emotion is a derivative of a person’s reaction, therefore the first rule of protection from negativity is to learn how to respond correctly. It is important to clarify - do not hide from emotion, do not avoid it, do not suppress it, but feel and choose the right manifestation of it. It can be compared to karate lessons. In the first lessons, they do not teach tricks at all, but show how to fall correctly. It is impossible to avoid falls, as well as negative sensations, but it is quite possible to minimize the damage from both. Useful tips will help you do this.

1. Positive environment

Negative emotions are terribly contagious. If there is a person nearby who constantly complains about life, who always has everything bad, and everyone except him is to blame for his troubles, you should communicate with him as little as possible. This is a black hole that will suck out all the positive.

2. Count to 5

Negativity is everywhere, a person with a bad mood can get caught in public transport, cafes, at the next table at work. He will be rude, annoying, and maybe even scream. If, when confronted with such a person, you want to yell at him in response, you need to calmly inhale, count to 5 and exhale. The wisest action is a calm facial expression and the phrase "I will not answer you the same."

3. See the solution, not see the problem

When confronted with a problem, a person can be overwhelmed by it. He panics and sees no way out. It's important to calm down, try to find a solution, or better yet, draw up a list of several, and no matter how realistic they are, it's good to see an alternative.

4. Abstraction

Don't let others dictate how you live. Often people criticize someone else's behavior, wardrobe, appearance, because they do not agree with them or consider them strange. If you want to dye your hair green, quit your boring job to draw pictures, maybe that's what you should do. At the very least, you need to make a decision, relying on your desires and thoughts, and not under the yoke of fear of rejection or fear of experiencing a negative feeling.

5. Separation into “mine” and “alien”

This recommendation will summarize the ones already mentioned. When faced with negativity, it is important to be able to recognize whose it is. If he is yours, you can work with him; if he is a stranger, you need to let him past your eyes and ears. To do this, you need to be able to analyze your condition. If you have a negative feeling, you need to ask yourself a few questions, for example:

• What caused the negative? “The boss yelled at me.
• Why did he yell at me? I didn't submit my report on time.
• How did it affect me? “I feel upset and offended.
• What can I do to make it easier for me? – Turn in the report quickly, apologize for being late, buy your favorite cake to cheer yourself up.

In this internal dialogue, one fact is not taken into account - the boss could react differently. He had no right to raise his voice to a subordinate, and real reasons such a reaction may remain undisclosed, so you should not take his cry personally, perhaps it is not connected with the report at all, but with problems in the family, other troubles.

Positive emotions sometimes cannot exist without negative ones. For example, the joy of meeting is impossible without the sadness of parting. True trust can only be felt by experiencing disappointment before. Therefore, it is so important to be able to respond to the appearance of negative emotions, as a temporary phenomenon and an indicator of a state in which it is not at all necessary to stay for a long time.

It's no secret that emotions play an important role in our lives. Communicating with people, you can probably notice that people show emotions in different ways, share their feelings.

Emotions are an adaptive mechanism that is inherent in us by nature to assess the situation. After all, a person does not always have time when he can correctly and accurately assess what is happening to him. Suppose in a situation of danger ... And then once - I felt something and there is a feeling that I either “like” or “dislike”.

Moreover, the emotional assessment is the most correct - nature cannot deceive. Emotional evaluation occurs very quickly and reason and logic are not "mixed" here. After all, you can logically explain anything and give a bunch of all sorts of rational arguments.

Watching people (including myself) I notice that there are situations in which people either ignore their emotions, or try not to notice them, or simply do not realize. I will not now make assumptions about the reasons for this, I will only say that without listening to himself, to his emotional life, a person cannot adequately and fully perceive the situation, and thereby make the most effective decision.

IN ordinary life this can manifest itself in the fact that by ignoring or repressing their emotions, a person can create an incorrect belief for himself. For example, if a wife is ignorant/unconscious or unwilling to admit her anger towards her husband, she may take her anger out on another person or children in a completely different situation.

Or, I had a client who had this belief: “I can’t offend a person, upset him.” As it turned out, if a person gets angry, then she will experience guilt, which she did not want to meet.

In my consultations, I very often come across the emotional sphere. I once noticed that it is sometimes very difficult for people to say what they really feel or what emotion they are experiencing right now. Even if a person realizes that he has some feeling now, sometimes it is very difficult to say it in words, to name it.

One of my clients told me so: “I feel a GOOD feeling, but I don’t know what it’s called ..”.

And I decided to fill this gap on the pages of my site. Below is a list of emotions and feelings that I managed to find, I hope that after reading it, you can significantly replenish the awareness of what can happen to you.

And by the way, you can check yourself: before reading the list, I suggest you make it yourself, and then compare how complete your list is ...
