[Jagriti55] Beliefs about Feelings 🙄

Here are some beliefs (about feelings) which we explored on friday.

I

t would be a good idea if you can spend some time noting down what are your BELIEFS about emotions - for example - see if you consider the below dozen statements as true or false:

1. Some feelings are positive, some are negative.
   
2. If somebody is feeling low we should cheerup the person.
   
3. Feelings are automatic, they cannot be controlled.
   
4. What others do causes feelings in us.
   
5. If we want to feel a certain feeling, it is possible to feel that way.
6. I am very emotional.
7. Children are emotional.
8. Feelings are not important, one should be rational and logical to lead a happy life.
9. We need to take care of the behaviour, not the emotion.
10. Emotions are clear indicators of underlying needs.
11. I know what my children / others are feeling.
12. I am
    responsible for my feelings
13. <add one of your own here>
    

The idea is not to say - my belief is wrong or this statement is right. Rather to explore what would happen if I adopted - just to play around - an opposite belief to what I normally have.

We reach somewhere new, when we leave the regular road.

Do discuss in the Telegram group.
