Like human beings and other creatures, The emotion also has families. They have their Father, Mother, siblings (types). The Positive Emotion has families whereas negative also contains genealogy. They are interlinked together and spark by the chain reaction of each other. One Emotion leads to another emotion whereas, by the time one finishes, it creates the new one.
This is very important here to understand that each emotion lasts only for 12 minutes until the new emotion overcomes the existing one.
It can be either sadness, angriness, fear or love, however, all remain for 12 minutes.
12 Minutes control:
As a Homosapien, we need to control and manage our emotion for 12 minutes only.
Resolve it, subside it or recover from that particular emotion in that time before taking any action or decision.
Don’t let your emotion define your action. let your action change your emotion, by standing up if you are sitting, walk away from the environment, sit down if you are standing, go for a walk etc.
The problem is that we react In those 12 mins, which leads to the problem or dispute. The emotion wants to get rid of you but we don’t let the emotion go and carry it along with us.
When we carry the same emotion for a long time and starts piling up in our mood, it penetrates in our personality and becomes our habit.
The mood nourished by our emotions become dominant in our personality thus it reflects in your life.
Insightful article, Yasir Rizvi. A great reminder to not let your emotions define your actions.
