Sometimes you don’t just feel stuck but confused. And that is part of human behavior. We are emotional beings trying to adjust those emotions and feelings that are very primitive. You hear different aspects, scenarios, the success stories and the failures. But there are a few ingredients that lead to all this. The stuck feeling is nothing but our ability to hang on to emotions.
The Start…
You always look at the closest point. The closest point starts not with your surroundings but with YOU! Yes. The thoughts, anguish, grief, hopelessness or helplessness, regrets and guilt are the drivers of your mind. The propulsion of our minds is fueled in such ways. Sometimes being optimistic helps or skeptic. But it’s your mind that decides what is the fuel. What we choose and what we do not. Here it’s YOU vs. YOU, ME vs. ME. The conflict within your self that makes you fight your own decisions and ideology. A fight that will never end. It may fade but it persists. This evolves our emotional perspective.
The Next In’greed’ient
Emotional greed, a term I just coined here. It is nothing but our inherent need to get sentimental or emotional. Also includes our ability to hide such emotions or express them dramatically, maybe between them both. The world revolves around it. Again it is very primitive to our intelligent mind. I personally feel it has not yet been identified. Here, I am not asking you to agree to my point of view and/or observations. I just want you to give it a thought. Just like materialism, emotional greed is as important. We identify personalities without such greed to have a personality disorder. But is it right? But then what is wrong or right? Everything is the way we want to perceive. A very critical factor in the development and evolution of human beings.
Why stuck in Emotions?
According to me, it is our ability to get involved or too involved in any activity. Our brain treats it as a natural process because we start enjoying. Adrenaline rush or other artificial brain stimulation techniques, maybe VR in future will be an addiction, all these are ways to get stuck. A lot of us suffer from the same. Not because we are in that situation or scenario but it is addiction or involvement with emotions. The new driver for our mind or for some, existence. This is the best natural stimulant for our brains. It is point-less to argue what all people have achieved or lost because of this. The emotions drive us more than we can ever imagine.
Other Ingredients
Surroundings and atmosphere matter but the most and get superseded by our will to change. Change for better obviously, from our perspective. Emotions change our way to react and respond. A reaction for every action is inherent in our physiology.
People argue that ‘No reaction’ is a better solution but it is another reaction. An emotion of a different form that we do not yet understand. An emoji/emoticon exists only to capture our emotions or feeling. For you to give an ‘no reaction’, an emotion exists at the back of your mind but it is your choice not to react. That is why it is nothing less than an emotion.
Now optimism or pessimism may become a trait but the emotions will still remain intact. We still need to break the loop. Experiences make us better or worse and they take best emotions at the best times out of us. Getting stuck is an inevitable dilemma but bringing out yourself matters more. This is what makes our success a story, our journey a victory. Enjoy every single moment and the emotions following but do not hang on any! Because for anything, everything is temporary but your impact is Permanent HERE.
