In today's Vlog, I've attempted to discuss how our misplaced priorities and values in life can become the root source of many of the negative emotions we experience: such as anxiety, low self esteem, lack of confidence and even depression.
The reason why many people do the things that they do in life is based upon the feelings they expect to experience by doing those things.
The problem with thinking this way and adopting this approach to life is that changing our outcomes will only ever allow us to feel emotionally better for a very short period of time.
It is our thoughts that produce the feelings we experience on a daily basis and it is those feelings that result in our responses or reactions to the situations we find ourselves in.
If we feel bad about a situation we find ourselves in we will generally react impulsively which can cause no end of consequential new problems, however when we respond to a situation we have made a well calculated decision and are making a decision based upon logic and wisdom opposed to our emotional state.
All of humanity share the same inner values of wanting to feel secure within themselves, significant in the world and of value to others. Everybody wants to feel special and unique.
If the things of life in which we trust to provide us with feelings of security, significance and value let us down, this becomes the root of all the debilitating emotions I mentioned above.
So the question is, what gives you hope in life and how well is it serving you?
