RE: Are You The Sovereign Of Your Mind?

in #freedom8 years ago

great article! Following now. As to "Remove all emotion," that could be a book in an of itself. Often I need to acknowledge and explore what I'm feeling before I can let the energy of that emotion flow and release. Then a calm clear mind can tackle the issue at hand. Another way to put it, when I'm triggered (or a friend is triggered) I focus on the feelings and present moment, not on problem-solving. Once calmness reigns again, then problem solving whatever the issue or trigger was.

It seems that you have acknowledged the emotional part of the equation and have tamed it better than most people in this world. We all have emotions and, since we are not Vulcans, will have to remind ourselves that sometimes it is the emotion doing the thinking and not the logical part of our brains.

Emotions can be part of the decision making process, but should just be listed as a 'pro' or 'con' in the decision.
