Emotions, negative

Other s negative emotions. In cases where a third party feels compromised by any one mentoring relationship, mentor and/or mentee can be put at a disadvantage. For example, if the mentee becomes the subject of someone s envy (most likely an individual who was unable to enter a mentoring relationship), the scene could be set for some unpleasant events. These may include active attempts by this third party to harm the mentee s reputation and obstruct his or her progress. 

Herbert Morawetz, whom Mark hired at Brooklyn Poly in 1951, says that he believes that Mark is incapable of negative emotion, "or at least they are buried beyond retrieval". As an example, it is well known that Hermann Staudinger disliked Mark as a result of the events about the establishment of the macro-molecular concept. His dislike bordered on open contempt, but Mark steadfastly refused to openly criticize Staudinger. In...

It Is certainly important to be aware of one s emotions, and know how they are affecting one s behaviour. It is also important to know how to let go of or work through an emotion which may be blocking you from action. This is not always easy. We all too often allow negative emotions to fester, and allow tiieir significance to grow, rather than become more predisposed with time to let go of them. 

On this basis, the formula for misery would be M (misery) = NE (negative emotion) x R (resistance). If the resistance is zero, misery also becomes zero. 

Dealing with negative emotions is, of course, only one side of the equation. Positive feelings need to be harnessed. Expressing enjoyment, satisfaction, excitement, enthusiasm can be a powerful influence on you, and on others, to take on new challenges. 

It is not useful to ask whether pain feels like reward that question refers intuitively to reward as a synonym of pleasure. The influence of reward has to be inferred from the experience that pain and negative emotions feel irresistible—or, better, very difficult to resist, a difficulty that measures the amount of reward that has to be bid against them and,... 

There are Limits to what animal studies can tell us about human behavior. There are also limits on what we can learn from laboratory experiments with human subjects. Because of financial constraints one may not be able to create high-stake situations in the laboratory/ unless one uses first-world research grants to study third-world subjects (Cameron 1995). Because of ethical constraints that were set up in the wake of Stanley Milgram s (1974) work, one cannot place subjects in situations that will induce strong negative emotions. Also, many of these studies rely on self-reports, which are a pretty fragile instrument. I believe, therefore, that to understand the subtler human emotions one has to turn to the last four sources, which is not to say that the first three have no value. 

Selye s basic assertion was that inappropriate negative emotions can be physically destructive. If that is so, then what can positive emotions do In 1964 that very question popped into the mind of Norman Cousins. The well-known writer and editor had developed a form of arthritis that attacks the body s connective tissue. Ankylosing spondylitis is a terrible disease... 

In fact, normal dreaming is not all that ecstatic precisely because, there too, negative emotion is an unchained demon spoiler of our fantasized pleasure. Increasingly, the evidence from dream studies indicates that plot details are often designed to fit the directions of anxiety, fear, and anger rather than joy, elation, and erotic pleasure. 

Pharmacology and psychology are thus in a three-way interaction with physiology that determines the form of conscious experience. That form shapes and constrains its content. And much of this process appears to be due to chance. If positive emotions predominate, my dream or LSD trip will be psychedelic and possibly even ecstatic. If negative emotions prevail, my dream will be more or less nightmarish and my LSD trip more or less monstrous. 

Indeed, it is an empirical fact that lucid dreamers experience less negative emotion and more positive emotion in their altered states... 

The negative emotions that became increasingly unbearable and made this LSD trip a bad one are also characteristic of dreaming we can speculate that when serotonin modulation is impaired, either naturally (in dreams), pathologically (in depression), or artificially (in LSD states), the limbic lobe centers of dysphoric emotion are activated. And, as is true of dreaming, volition is impaired, the loss of voluntary control that Hofmann describes as follows ... 

De Quincey thus discovered that via the fierce chemistry of dreams he could immediately translate thoughts into visual images, but that the price of this artifice was negative emotion For this, and all other... 

So dreaming can be a good trip (ecstatic elation as in my second ski run is not uncommon) or a bad trip (with negative emotions like anxiety, fear, and anger always popping up). This means that dreaming is both heaven and hell (or that heaven and hell are virtual realities that are fabricated by us to mirror the virtual reality of our dream experiences). This... 

Tip 2 View laughter as therapeutic. Just as negative emotions can produce ulcers, headaches, and high blood pressure, positive emotions such as laughter can relax nerves, improve digestion, and help blood circulation.
