My Own Writing
Emotions are what drive you and what ultimately give life value and meaning. Therefore, treat them with some respect. At least as much as you give to thoughts.
Emotion is the ultimate driver of human behavior. It’s the reason we do what we do.
Anything that evokes strong emotion in you deserves your attention.
Everything human has an emotional dimension, if you look for it.
Emotions are messages. They carry Information. They’re trying to tell you something. Listen to them. Try to understand what they’re saying. Ignore them at your peril.
Emotion the engine that drives everything.
Actions and emotions are linked.
There is an emotional/spiritual layer to life, revealed through music, poetry, and emotional language.
Your emotions can be your greatest ally or your worst enemy.
You don’t wait for your mood to change before taking action. You make it change by taking action.
If you eliminate all negative emotions, what remains must be positive.
You can’t feel a thought, only an emotion.
What are the physiological underpinnings of emotion? Hormones? Neurotransmitters? Stimulation of certain brain areas?
Words trigger thoughts which in turn trigger emotions.
The quality of your life depends on the quality of your emotions.
Excerpted From Wikipedia on 13-Oct-2012
In psychology, philosophy, and their many subsets, emotion is the generic term for subjective, conscious experience that is characterized primarily by psychophysiological expressions, biological reactions, and mental states. Emotion is often associated and considered reciprocally influential with mood, temperament, personality, disposition, and motivation,[citation needed] as well as influenced by hormones and neurotransmitters such as dopamine, noradrenaline, serotonin, oxytocin and cortisol. Emotion is often the driving force behind motivation, positive or negative.[1] The physiology of emotion is closely linked to arousal of the nervous system with various states and strengths of arousal relating, apparently, to particular emotions. Although those acting primarily on emotion may seem as if they are not thinking, cognition is an important aspect of emotion, particularly the interpretation of events. For example, the experience of fear usually occurs in response to a threat. The cognition of danger and subsequent arousal of the nervous system (e.g. rapid heartbeat and breathing, sweating, muscle tension) is an integral component to the subsequent interpretation and labeling of that arousal as an emotional state. Emotion is also linked to behavioral tendency. Research on emotion has increased significantly over the past two decades with many fields contributing including psychology, neuroscience, medicine, sociology, and even computer science. The numerous theories that attempt to explain the origin, neurobiology, experience, and function of emotions have only fostered more intense research on this topic.
