Article 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we think about negative and positive of different emotions , we can consider how intense a particular emotion is or how long it lasts.. If we just see an emotion as either ‘on’ ‘off’ then we are faced with a basic choice of either continuing to have it , or trying to get rid of it. When the emotion is unpleasant , our tendency is to want to get rid of it. However, if we instead think of emotions as being on a sliding scale, rather like a volume control from ‘ very mild ‘ at I out of 100 , to ‘ extreme’ at 100 out of 100 , then we have some other choices. We may find that we can endure a certain level of the emotion.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One reason why it is useful to think about our emotions as being on a sliding scale is that it is very hard to get rid of an emotion completely and the harder we try the greater the impact on other parts of our lives.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, someone who feels anxious around other people may avoid every kind of situation that might involve being around others because they think it will make them anxious.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will complete in article 2 soon. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
