This means that emotions are not just an inconvenient byproduct of consciousness, but a form of higher cognition – an ability for living beings to experience their world in deeper and more complex ways. Humans are a species that thrive on social relations, and our emotions become a gauge on morality and justice. They help facilitate our interactions by giving us clues on how to connect with others in meaningful and productive ways. When someone makes us feel bad our emotions tell us to ignore them, while when someone makes us feel good our emotions tell us to appreciate them. Emotions however come in many different qualities, degrees, and intensities. Perhaps more important than how researchers conceptualize different emotions is how we experience them.

In the auditory mode, thoughts are described as sounds.
Transforming Negative Thoughts & Creating the Life You Desire. “If you correct your mind, the rest of your life will fall into place.”
-Lao Tzu In my quest for personal development, I’ve done a ton of processing, meditating, reading, praying, exercising, eating well, and helping other people. All of these things are amazing, and I still do them regularly, but none of it matters if I don’t guard my thoughts as though my life depends on it. The quality of my life literally depends on my thoughts. I never thought of myself as a negative person, and most people who know me will tell you I’m a bubbly, outgoing, super positive individual. This is definitely the version of me that shows up in the outside world, and this is absolutely who I want to be.
One thing that’s been really difficult for me is recognizing when I’m thinking negative thoughts. I’ve decided that most of the time, it really doesn’t matter what these subconscious patterns are. It can be really easy to disempower ourselves if we have a belief system that’s set up that way. 1. 2. 3.
