I have a very hard time identifying my emotions, especially emotions that are related to things that bother me, because I tend to keep things that bother me to myself. For someone like me that has a hard time identifying and working with their emotions, I would need help from a counselor to not control my emotions but to be comfortable expressing them. Also,I feel that a lot of people are taught to not express emotions because they are a sign of weakness. I feel like this plays a huge role in my life and people like me when avoiding emotions.<br /><br />- Rusty<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12976036438376868143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327598978675535878.post-36778134665574155902013-03-30T17:22:17.228-07:002013-03-30T17:22:17.228-07:00I'm so glad you wrote on this too.

When we did the exercise with our classmates, it was so awakening the many different emotions we go through in a short period of time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08932160240539363836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327598978675535878.post-14614515808174965812013-03-30T17:12:35.493-07:002013-03-30T17:12:35.493-07:00Hi Keren,
I sat behind you during class and I was ...Hi Keren,<br />I sat behind you during class and I was wondering what you were giggling at. How divine is it that the good Doctor talked about emotions when you were struggling. Very cool and I’m very happy for you. You had a lot to say in your blog so I’m going to make this as short as possible, because I want to comment on everything but I can’t. It’s not my blog; it’s yours.<br /><br />I read the article you hyper-linked. It’s a good read and it contains very good advice. My favorite part is about Yoga and exercise. I enjoy Bikram Yoga thoroughly and it has taught me to calm my mind and body in the midst of stress (if any of you who are reading this have never done the standing bow-pulling or balancing stick poses, just trust me). This has helped me control some emotions.<br /> <br />Lastly, I have been conditioned to think that emotions are bad and that when we respond to emotions that it is a sign of weakness. However, there’s a reason the God wants us to love him with all our, “heart, soul, strength, and mind” (Deuteronomy 6:5 and witnessed by the disciples). Granted, according to the five aspects of the immaterial self, this skips the conscience and spirit, but let’s assume that the three aspects mentioned include emotions. If we are to respond to God with all of our being, it’s hard for me to think that He doesn’t like emotions, which means that emotions are a good thing. Maybe I’ll listen to my own logic someday and show an array of emotions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562455723520120344noreply@blogger.com
