Today I am Happy so I want to be with my Friends OR Today I am with my Friends so I am Happy.....
Which one do you fit into? Confusing right. Yes I feel the same.
Emotions are triggering within us with almost every action and also that Actions we are taking are happening because of Emotions. I feel it is both, it is like a weighing scale sometimes tilted on the right and sometimes on the left. Or we can also say we are always in this vicious circle of cause and effect where sometimes the cause is Emotions and sometimes the effect is Emotions but we are going in the circle.
But I believe on which side the scale tilts purely depends on certain factors;
Physical and Mental Health
Very important for us to function and for the emotions to dictate. If our Physical and Mental Health is poor definitely the emotions will dictate our life, we will be most of the time drowning in the pool of emotions which will be then controlling our life and the actions we take.
Our Environment
Another important factor which controls emotions. If we are in a healthy environment we will see our-self much better in control against if we are not living in a healthy environment. The people we have in our lives, the lifestyle we follow, the food we eat, the energy of the place we live in everything together combines in our environment and has a direct influence on how we behave and react.
If these factors are not balanced then for sure emotions will dictate our life but if these factors are balanced and positive then our lives will dictate our emotions.
For me personally, I have mentioned this earlier also in a similar subject that some years ago it was always the emotions that have controlled my life but I have done a lot of self-work which has made it changed. I have got into a regular habit of self reflection and being conscious about my ways, my lifestyle, my environment, my health, my diet, the regular meditation practice and all of this has made a lot of difference. I cannot say that i have completely overcome it. There are instances when emotions do get over me very strongly but with conscious effort I make it a point that it does not start controlling my actions and life.
Emotions are also important and required since that is what differentiates we humans from the rest of the life forms. Otherwise we would all be like Robots simply responding to commands with no personal touch or feelings. But that's not the case. We humans are full of emotions they are one integral part of we humans, they define our existence. We carry them day in and out all the time along with us. They are a part and parcel of our lives. But the most important thing is to keep them in control and not keep flowing into it.
It is not good to be over emotional, it depicts the instability in the personality of the person and starts controlling our life, but the worst is to bury the emotions within. If we don't release we can end up with serious health issues. There are many such cases like this who come to me, specially man cause they feel being emotional means falling weak, but that's not the case. Suppressed emotions can dictate our lives. The ability to not express can bring down one with depression which is not good.
Emotions need to be expressed in the right proportion at the right time to be in full control of our life.
As the Song goes
"It takes a little bit of this, and a little bit of that
A little bit of good, with a little bit of bad
You know that life's a contradiction
And you can't escape the fact
You gotta take a little bit of this
With a little bit of that"
