Thinking About Thoughts

When we talk about emotions and feelings, we often take these two words as synonyms. Emotions, however, are not the same as feelings. I wrote about it in the blog post: Just Move.

To make it easier, let me remind you: emotions are the body's reactions to external stimuli and feelings are caused by emotions. Let me also remind you that I am per contra of rejecting negative emotions. All emotions are physiological and not admitting to them is - my personal opinion - like denying that we are breathing. But just like breath can be regulated to some degree, we can also control our emotions. And I don't mean we shouldn't or should react when our blood is boiling, I mean: don't let that blood boil.

Just Move

Since I remember I heard 'don't cry for no reason', 'you don't need to be sad', 'there is nothing to worry about', 'you shouldn't be angry'. But the thing is I always had the reason when I have been sad, angry or anxious. But the thing is that nobody was able to understand that. Basically, we all have a different picture of reality. Basically, my problems could not be understood by someone else.
How often we hear we shouldn't think negatively? Especially about ourselves. Easy to say, not really easy to do.

What If...

I was just thinking, sipping my coffee, of course, how the world would be without me. And as I was thinking about it, it dawned on me how important I am: without me, the world would be completely different.

Tabula Rasa

The term "tabula rasa" is associated with John Locke, who lived in the seventeenth century. In this way, he described the mind of a newborn human, a little tiny baby, who is leaving the cosy place, and enter to the world full of wolves. The baby's mind starts to learn how to survive in the new environment. 

However, I have a different idea than this "tabula rasa" thing. In my opinion, nobody is born as a saint, because we are born as self-centred creatures (saints are not selfish), and with the years as we are getting life experience, we learn how to be more sociable, we adapt to live in the herd.

Magic of Communication

How often happens that we see the person for the first time and before the conversation starts we 'know' who we have to deal with. For a long time, I thought it is like that because of some magic, or kind of connection from the previous life, energy, vibration... The truth is plain. We all communicate even when we are not talking.
