The Naked Truth | How to tap into emotional energy and use it to your advantage
- Our emotional energy is immense and dynamic, so like any energy force it can be constructive and destructive at the same time
- If we learn to recognise it we can put it to good use, and even improve our relationships
We are emotional creatures and how we manage and express our different emotions not only plays an important role in our everyday interactions with other people, but also shapes those interactions.
Emotions dictate how we think, behave and make decisions, which means they help us survive and thrive. Emotions can be short-lived but they often have long-lasting effects or bring undesirable consequences, especially in the case of anger or aggression.
That’s why we are often reminded to avoid giving out or being overwhelmed by negative emotions. While emotions can tie us together, they can also drive a wedge between people.
Our emotional energy is immense and dynamic, so like any energy force it can be constructive and destructive at the same time. Imagine being so frustrated or angry you struck something or someone. Or the emotional pain when a loved one dies that can make you break down and cry. Words cannot begin to describe such pain.
On the other end of the spectrum, events like the birth of a child or some unexpected good news can summon positive emotional energy. Meanwhile, emotional energy released during sexual activity can be immensely ecstatic.
