Do you have a healthy relationship with your emotions?

Answer 1

What I have today is the understanding that emotions are not instincts, that my instincts are never wrong, But my emotions frequently can be misguided. My life became much simpler when I finally learned the difference between the two. I honor my emotions to the extent of recognizing & accepting them, but I do not get lost in them never to find my way out. I have learned that the mother to every emotion is a thought, & by practicing being an observer I have much less of a tendency to react than to respond. Do not let this make you fear it will make you heartless, for just the opposite. It opens you up for real expression of love on a level I really never knew exisited. Love, btw, is the only real emotion,meaning it is not of the ego but of the source.

Answer 3

Your question is more suitable in the category Psychology. Anyway in the philosophical view, see below:

Plato, Aristotle, Spinoza, Descartes, Hobbes, Hume—had recognizable theories of emotion, conceived as responses to certain sorts of events of concern to a subject, triggering bodily changes and typically motivating characteristic behavior. What is surprising is that in much of the twentieth-century philosophers of mind and psychologists tended to neglect them—perhaps because the sheer variety of phenomena covered by the word "emotion" and its closest neighbors tends to discourage tidy theory. In recent years, however, emotions have once again become the focus of vigorous interest in philosophy, as well as in other branches of cognitive science. In view of the proliferation of increasingly fruitful exchanges between researches of different stripes, it is no longer useful to speak of the philosophy of emotion in isolation from the approaches of other disciplines, particularly psychology, neurology, evolutionary biology, and even economics. While it is quite impossible to do justice to those approaches here, some sidelong glances in their direction will aim to suggest their philosophical importance.

Answer 4

It is only possible to have a healthy relationship with your emotional nature if you are objective to it: Become transpersonal to your emotions. Experience your emotions instead of becoming emotional.

Answer 5

Healthy relationships are with others not their emotions. I can not have a relationship with my my feelings. They express me so that others can choose to relate to me or not.

Answer 6

Not yet. Working towards it though. Presently emotions are having an upper hand. The balance is skewed...
