Do u need a reason to behave good and be happy? Feelings V/s Emotions ?

Ever wondered how your thoughts and feelings impact your behaviour? Well, scientific research on the mind has shown that understanding the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and perceptions is essential to unravelling human behaviour. One of the pioneers in this field was Wundt; he believed that Our thoughts create our feelings & our feelings drive our behaviour. He proposed that feelings can be categorized into three main compartments:

1) Sensations,

2) Feelings, &

3) Emotions.

👉 Sensations are the most basic and direct forms of mental experiences that arise from sensory stimulation, while

👉 feelings are the personal and subjective experiences that accompany sensations and perceptions.  

👉 Emotions are complicated and have MANY different aspects. They are usually brought on by Specific events or circumstances.

[ Feelings are how you think about something, V/s  emotions are how your body reacts to a SITUATION for your feelings of Fear or Anger or many mixed feelings etc ]

By categorizing feelings into these three compartments, Wundt provided a framework for exploring the interplay between sensory input and affective responses. This classification system helped lay the foundation for further research and theories on emotions, feelings, and their influence on cognition, behaviour, and mental health. Understanding the role of feelings in our lives is essential to shaping our perception, cognition, and overall well-being. So, the next time you experience a sensation, feeling, or emotion, remember that it's all interconnected and plays a crucial role in shaping your behaviour.

 According to research, mood disorders are primarily characterized by a disturbance in thought processes.

P.S : 

Do you know the difference between mood and affect?

Imagine that your mood is like the weather in your mind. It's the overall feeling that hangs around for a while. Just like a sunny day can make you feel happy and energetic, a sad mood might make you feel a little down for some time.

Now, imagine the effect is like the clothes you wear to show how you feel. Just like how you might wear a big smile when you're happy or furrow your brow when you're upset, affect is how you show your emotions on the outside. It's like your emotional outfit that others can see.

So, remember, mood is like the weather inside your head – how you feel deep down, and affect is like the clothes you wear to show those feelings on the outside. Both mood and affect help people understand how you're feeling and can change just like the weather or your outfit! 

So when you are sad, Just Fake it until you make it, Smile, and Laugh even though you are hurt. OK?

Imagine your intense emotion as a wave or passing cloud. When you learn to interact with that emotional wave like you would with a real wave, you're not fighting it, but rather, you're riding on it. This means you're acknowledging the emotion, allowing it to be there, and then letting it pass, just like a wave in the ocean.

Empower yourself by understanding the origins of your feelings. Once we uncover their roots, we gain the power to take action and change our behaviors for the better.
