The Ultimate Source for Self Understanding

feelings are just signals

In this era, with the booming use of technology you can hardly find someone who doesn't know how to operate the TV, use a cellphone or even drive a car. And it is not only the operation of the devices but also spotting problems, you know that when the fuel gauge indicator flashes then your car needs fuel, and you know that when another light flashes that one of the car doors are left open. You can use a computer, hundreds of software and electronic devices. But unfortunately, there is only one thing you can not operate nor understand properly; it's your self. All the feelings that you carry are just signals sent to you by your mind, in order to tell you one thing: take action!!

Just like the car tells you that it needs fuel, your mind has its own way of telling you about its needs, but it uses a different method for signaling: Emotions. And just as the fuel signal no longer flashes when you refuel your car, most of your negative emotions will go away when you take the required action.

bad feelings disapear as soon as you take action

One famous example for that is when you have lots of accumulated work to do and you feel overwhelmed, as soon as you set a schedule for completing your work and start following that schedule those feeling will gradually disappear, although you may have not finished your work. The point is, you responded to your mind's message and said "Hey, I took action now and here is the schedule, no need to feel overwhelmed anymore". And so does your mind respond by removing that emotion.

feeling bad and the subconscious mind

In some cases where you just experience a bad mood without knowing what the cause may be, problems may have been sent to your subconscious mind and stored in there, usually when you ignore solving a problem or when the problem becomes so unbearable, it may be moved from the conscious mind to the subconscious mind, and when problems move from your conscious mind to your subconscious, they may visit you again, but in other forms: like feeling down, bad moods or even nightmares.

suppressed emotions must leak out somehow

This means that whatever emotions you have suppressed will leak out in a certain way that may not appear to be related to that emotion like for example having nightmares,bad dreams or even yelling at someone on the first chance possible without being guilty.

emotional limiters and supporters

Emotional limiters are problems or bad things in your life that you may have that prevent you from being happy and from reaching your emotional potential even if you were experiencing a good moment,its good to check whether you have any emotional limiter that may be the cause for your bad mood.

On the contrary to emotional limiters, there are emotional supporters which are things that can help support your emotional state from getting down even at a bad moment, emotional supporters can make you still feel good even when facing a problem. Having as many emotional supporters as you can should be your goal.
