Did you know that your senses influence your emotions and mood?Smells, sounds, colors and even daylight have a direct impact on your behavior.
The alarm goes off. You try to open your eyes, but it’s hard and you don’t know why, you’re not able to create a single thought, to weave a single idea, I mean, you get up. Open the window and look outside, the sky is gray, how do you feel?
- Light weather.
- Smells.
- Sounds All this influences our mood.
- The emotions you feel at every moment.
- Think about how you dress when you’re sad.
- The natural tendency is to use dark colors such as gray.
- Brown or black.
Now think about happy times. Everything’s colored. Orange, yellow, green, blue.
A smell can take you back to a time of your childhood, to the cake your mother made for your birthday, a song can remind you of a special person, your first dance, your first kiss, a certain song can evoke happy moments and others less then .
Your mood in the morning, the colors of the clothes you wear, the memories you have, your behavior: everything is linked to the emotions you feel.
All these emotions, contrary to what may seem, are good, you can give it a positive or negative value, depending on how you feel.
I know that sometimes you don’t want the people around you to know how you really feel, then you hide your emotions with a mask so you don’t look vulnerable or sad. At other times, it is you who consciously deceives you about your truth. Feelings In any case, wear armor to protect yourself from hurting yourself.
But you know what? If people who love you don’t know how you feel, they won’t be able to help you, and if you don’t ask for help, they won’t ask you either. Learn to ask. You may have learned not to ask for anything, you have learned that you must be self-sufficient.
So when you’re in a situation where you don’t know how to get out, you don’t know or dare to ask others for help (remember that asking for help isn’t bad, on the contrary, it brings you even closer to the people you love), you tell them that you trust them and that people who love you also have emotions.
By handling emotions, you also learn. For example, if you feel sad, you can change your mood by wearing cheerful colors; If you feel melancholy, listen to a live song that will make you dance, break down barriers and change your attitude to the situations and circumstances that make you live is only in your hands. You have the power to decide what you want your day to be like.
There is a story by Jorge Bucay that tells that sadness and anger met in a magical lagoon to bathe in each other’s company. Anger, who was in a hurry as always, took a quick shower and got out of the water. She took her clothes, but since she does not clearly distinguish reality, she did not realize that it was not her clothes, but those of sadness.
So when sadness came out of the water, slowly and unaware of the passage of time, he realized that his clothes were not there, and he had no choice but to put on the only piece he had found: the robe of anger.
So keep that in mind. Just as sometimes you want to hide your emotions behind a mask, there are other people who do the same.
When arguing with your partner or friend, remember that you can hide your true feelings behind words. His screams can only be a sign not to show how bad he feels on the outside.
Learning to understand others is a sign of wisdom. And you can do it by stopping to think about how you feel sometimes, what it means to you, and how certain emotions you feel when you have a memory or when you hear a melody.
It’s up to you to decide what you want your day to be like and remember that being happy is also learned.
