“If we confuse our sadness with anger, and we tell a person that we are angry, instead of getting closer, they may move away for fear of an aggressive reaction on our part,” he adds. From this point of view, Emotions are a very useful tool for self-awareness. If a person, for example, feels frustrated, this is a sign that they are not where they want or how they want to be. It reminds her of what is important and valuable to her. Acknowledging that she is frustrated motivates her to keep working towards her goals, to keep fighting for her dreams, and to make changes or adjustments, if necessary. On her part, joy leads the person to share and express love, while pain and fear force her to observe herself, to heal, to seek help or to defend herself. Feeling overwhelmed is a sign that you have to stop.
