Emotions are the most important motivating force of the most complex animals, birds, and mammals. We must examine the brain's workings to understand how emotions regulate our lives. A stimulus triggers neuronal activation patterns in the cortex, which can be replayed repeatedly. The appropriate temporal order of the constantly changing cortical projection triggers corresponding motoric activation, experience, and memories. This way, experience informs present behavior and produces a far superior response. But beyond the sensory and motor function, the brain's energy balances also give rise to emotions. The automatic regulation of the brain's energy balances means that emotions control our thoughts and actions.
High brain oscillations are essential for analytic thinking, detailed, focused work, preparation, or response to danger. Nevertheless, energy-expensive high brain frequencies are stressful and form a self-centered, insecure view, which prevents an overarching picture and decreases confidence. In addition, distorted, fractured mental images trigger negative emotions, which limit perceived opportunities. Over time, these energy-poor conditions handicap personal and professional success and cause health problems.
Our emotions may govern our actions today, but our present actions determine our feelings tomorrow. For this reason, there are tried and tested methods that, over the long term, can change faulty mental patterns. The most ancient technique to achieve lasting cognitive change is meditation. Meditation and prayer come from ancient traditions but generate mental stability in the modern setting. Although group setting is helpful for beginners, solitary practice is also productive. A more contemporary method is goal setting. Goal-oriented activity improves short-term memory and task success; motivation increases mental stability and reduces conflict, enhancing performance.
Worry and anxiety can prevent goal-directed activity, but positive social connections promote psychological and physical health and inspire mental transformation. Even in animals, grooming behavior is beneficial. The relaxing, trusting state provides health and mental benefits for both the giver and receiver of compassion. In contrast, toxic social connections can kill. Neuroscience supports these ideas.
Positive emotions are associated with lower brain oscillations, which lack details and allow the confidence of an overarching vision. In the mind, unnecessary details are eliminated, and the mental focus widens, allowing natural, creative solutions to emerge—psychology results from the role of emotions in an automatic mental operation. Calm minds cannot be easily disturbed. Just as energy flows from warmer to colder matter, emotionally stable (less irritable) people face challenges. Emotional stability also means engaging, relating to others and situations, and finding inherent solutions. These flexible people adapt to opportunities quickly.
Surround yourself with a positive environment, positive people, and positive ideas that lift you.
