Happiness & Sadness are not in your Genes
Happiness and sadness are not in your genome
When you say "I am sad," the statement is not scientifically correct, and the correct term is to say that "I Feel" sad.?
Next time you are sad, you should say “I feel sad,” not that I am sad. Do you know why you should say that? Because it makes it easier for you to find the root cause and move into a balanced state of the mind.
Sadness and happiness are not part of your genome, and you feel things according to your surroundings, life circumstances, and environmental exposures. You are not born with being sad or happy.
When you use the term "I am," you say that this is a part of me and it is in my genes and I was born with it. However, feeling sad is what you are experiencing, and you are not born with it.
A child is not born with the genes of being sad or happy. An infant cries when he or she feels something that is bothering them, for example when the diaper is wet and it needs to be changed, and when the child is hungry or thirsty. The child laughs when the parents do something silly and when they see something funny.
The child most of the time is neutral and when things happen they show emotions and emotional reactions.
“Emotions” come from your “Sensory sensations” and “Emotional reactions” come from your “Temperaments.” So feelings are not from +your genes, feelings are from your sensory sensations that react to environmental exposures.
You might be very sensitive or not at all, but you don’t automatically cry or laugh, and you sense things and show emotional reactions when something from outside pokes you.
Your “Sensory sensations” are in charge of your "Feelings & Emotions" where your senses receive information from outside, and that is how “you feel things.”
And your “Temperaments” are in charge of your "Emotional reactions" where they get messages from your senses and will decide "What to do with it."
Your “Sensory sensations” are responsible for “how you feel” and they grab information from all your senses. Your sense of sight, sound, vision, smell, touch, balance, movement, pain, sense of self, and many more. There are about 12 main senses followed by 3000 plus sub-senses.
You feel things according to your sensitivities, and then you show “emotional reactions” according to your “Temperaments” which start from 4 main poles and they show up as being “Agreeable or disagreeable” and act in a “Quiet or Hyper” manner, and of course anywhere in between the poles. However, the dominant reactions will always win your trait characteristics, which means if most of the time you “agree” with incoming data, you have an “agreeable” temperament and if you hesitate with the incoming data most of the time, then you have a “disagreeable” temperaments. After you collect data on how you feel, you react to situations and you will take actions in a “quiet or hyper” manner. The “quiet temperaments” will show as one being shy or hesitant to take action right away and needing to calculate their actions and reactions, whereas the “hyper temperaments” take actions without hesitations and in a quick manner.
So next time when you feel sad you need to use the term “I feel sad” not “I am sad.”?See where your sensitivities come from and look at your patterns to monitor your mood. If something pushes you and triggers your emotions, you can manage them by understanding the area of sensitivity.
You can manage your sensitivities by learning new skills and methods, and the process of practice to get better at what makes you feel good, and can turn away from things that bother you most.
Also, if you react to situations that get out of control, you can look into your temperaments and make them stronger by managing them well while staying in control of situations.
Practice is the key to winning situations in your life, this is where neuroplasticity comes to the rescue and if you are sensitive in any area of life you can learn methods and sharpen your skills to overcome any adversity.

You have a unique brain DNA which consists of your “brain type, sensory sensations, and temperaments.”
By understanding your unique "Brain DNA" you can pinpoint your sensitivities and your temperaments and exactly find out “why” you feel sad, when and where you get to the point of sensory overloads, and?“what” you can do to find your balance back.
The term you use “I am stressed” “I am Anxious” “I am angry” or “I am depressed” is not correct scientifically, and it is that you feel anxious or stressed, or get depressed.
You are not born with being sad or happy, and you feel sad and happy when you go through environmental exposures, and you sense things through your sensory sensations. Sensory sensations differ among people and that is why you feel things differently even when people are going through the same situations. And if you are very sensitive, you get to the point of sensory overload when your environment is stressful, and that is why you may yell or scream or get out of shape in response to life circumstances.
The best way to manage your emotions and emotional reactions is to look into your “Sensory sensations” and “Temperaments.” And learn techniques to make them stronger, and you will be able to manage them well.
