What positive emotion do you feel most often?
I am not exactly sure if peace is considered an emotion. I received mixed responses when I Googled it. I do feel peaceful most days. I realized at some point of time in my twenties that negative emotions take energy. I was always tired and wanted to take naps so I knew I had to regulate my emotions. It took a while but I was able to do it. Once I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, I also realized negative emotions, like stress, caused me to have relapses. Another reason to focus on positive emotions.
I am able to feel peaceful because I am very particular about what I allow in my life. I do not participate in drama or arguments. I am quick to agree to disagree. I don’t do things that I don’t want to do. I fill my time with activities I enjoy, and that makes me happy. I protect my peace. When I think about it, I live similar to the serenity prayer. Don’t get me wrong, I still have work to do to completely adopt this prayer.
I decided to go with the Day One Prompt today. I knew I had an answer for this question even though I had not thought about it before. It was a good thing to realize. I do really enjoy how peaceful my life is. I am happy that I know what makes my life easier, and I don’t stray far from the formula. What positive emotion do you feel most often? Do you consciously make an effort to bring more of that emotion into your life? What steps do you take to keep the negative emotions from not taking over? I would love to hear what you have to say. Be well and whole. Much Love 🧡 💚
