The Dynamic Duo-Thoughts and Emotions: Creating a Positive Reality

The Dynamic Duo-Thoughts and Emotions

Creating a Positive Reality


It is not enough to say that our thoughts create our reality. It is too black and white and narrow and the concept does not give enough information. If something bad happens for example sickness or an accident does that mean that your thoughts created the event? If you believe that your thoughts create your reality, when challenges occur and they will, you now have to cope with trying to figure out how the negative event happened and what you did to create it. Was it your thoughts? Buying into the concept that our thoughts create our reality can compound difficult situations additionally burdening a person; people tend to blame something or someone, often it is oneself.


I like to think about the concept that our thoughts create our reality like this.


When a negative event happens in our lives we feel emotional. Emotions occur from thoughts. Emotions have important psychological information. The feedback from a strong emotion like anger, for example, says there is something that we do not like that may need changing. Keep in mind that strong emotions like anger can be motivating. (E-motion. energy in motion). Since it is impossible and a big waste of time to try and change the person who made us angry, it is best to be motivated and examine what is going on in one’s thinking process. It is also best not to suppress emotions but contain them. When one is cool headed an objective examination of one’s thought process and what is driving the anger can occur.


To help this process move along, when you are emotional and out of balance, find a trusted friend or a good therapist and talk it out. Go to the gym, a walk, a swim. Do something constructive and active to let go of the toxic build-up of stress hormones cortisol and epinephrine that occur when we are upset and angry. Then, when calmer, sit down to meditate.


Meditation releases feel good hormones serotonin and melatonin. The brain receives feel good messages that we are relaxed and calmer. The chatter in the mind settles down and clearer thinking returns. Anger dissipates, balance is restored. Then it is easier to let go and think positive thoughts flooding the brain with feelings of wellness, happiness, joy and gratitude. Understanding how our thoughts and emotions work together- a dynamic duo- creates a more psychologically positive and healthy lifestyle and a new reality-one in which our thoughts and emotions are the energizing force behind creating a positive and productive reality.
