How To React To Negative Emotions

How Can Be React To Negative Emotions

Have you ever watched a dog about to be punished? Tail between
its legs, head bowed, in a crouching position?

People who are faced with a threatening situation tend  to hunch
their shoulders, bend their backs and bow their heads, as if steadying
themselves for the expected storm.

These postures are caled corporal responses to emotion. Of
course such responses vary from person to person, depending on the
emotions they are experiencing. But when dealing with similar
emotions, people’s corporal responses are often the same.

Take a moment to observe the people around you, for example
someone who is angry. If the person tries to contain his or her anger,
you wil see his jaw immediately contract, his body tighten up and his
face grow rigid and change color.


Overly intense emotions - and especialy negative emotions -
become a source of stress, and eventualy of disease. Like stress,
emotions can throw your body out of balance. Chinese medicine is

very clear in establishing the link between emotions and the body -
each organ is associated with a specific emotion.

By treating the organs which correspond to the negative emotions
you tend to experience, you can lessen the impact of these emotions
and live in greater harmony.

Do You Generaly Have Good Posture?

Posture - the way your body is balanced - is another important
indication of whether your system is in harmony or not.

We all tend to neglect the way we are in contact with the ground.
Even the shoes we wear can be harmful: heels that are too high, shoes
that are too pointy and prevent the toes from spreading, or sandals that
fit badly, all prevent us from spreading our weight evenly, forcing our
body to compensate by adopting unhealthy postures. This, in turn,
creates muscular tension, especialy in the thighs, lower back,
shoulders and nape of the neck.

Here are a few techniques for preventing backaches:

- Try not to stay in the same position for too long. Remember:
life is movement!

- Do not remain bent over for too long, so as not to strain the
lower back muscles.

- If you have to remain standing for long periods (at work, waiting in
line, etc.) try to keep one foot on a small step. This wil keep
your hips aligned properly and help keep your back straight.

- When you feel your back geting tired, squat with your back up
against a wall, making sure to relax your shoulders and arms.

Summary

- Learn to recognize states of stress. and to relax.
- Be aware of your emotions - all intense emotions are accompanied
by an imbalance in your organism.
- Watch your posture.
