Emotions form a big part of our lives. It’s fair to say that whoever you are as an individual is a sum total of decisions you have taken when pushed into difficult emotional situations. We can say that the decisions we take in our lives is based on things like, whether it made us happy or made us sad, a range of different emotions. Everyone’s perception of emotions is different. The idea of happiness can be different for different people. Now this process defines you.
Awareness forms a major part of how you deal with emotions. Self awareness in the ability to see ourselves clearly. People who are self aware have a higher chance to create better relationships, more fulfilled, better communicators. Asking ‘why’? , does it create alternative facts ? According to research to ask ‘What’ is the better way to do it. This can be done after the emotional situation takes place.
Asking what is a better way to direct emotions. We do live in a world where most of the decisions are influenced by emotions and the decisions we take will form the base for the future as well. When we try to ask ourselves questions like why this is affecting me ? We can get multiple answers to suit our emotions for that moment. Rather if we ask the question What is it that i can do so that i don’t feel that way ? We can get better rational answers. Maybe this helps in facing future situations where we have to take decisions based on emotions.
Ask WHAT , and Don’t ask WHY.
