How can we get rid of strong emotions?

Everyone has had this experience: when various emotions, such as joys and sorrows, reach a certain level, the brain is almost in the blank state, and almost all kinds of perception are nearing failure ......

The explanation of the brain scientist is generally as follows:

In this way, the brain can be divided into three layers: the first layer is responsible for "reflection", the second layer is responsible for "Emotion", and the third layer is responsible for "reason ". Our body is like a large battery for the brain, providing enough energy for the brain. The problem is that, in any case, the energy is limited. Therefore, when we feel a strong emotion, the second layer of the brain consumes a lot of energy, and the outermost layer in charge of reason enters sleep due to lack of enough energy ......

Emotion is hard to control-because it is in the "bottom layer" (relative to reason ). As you may imagine, it's okay to suppress your emotions-more likely, the more intense your emotions are.

In fact, more effective suggestions are:The key is not to suppress emotion, but to awaken reason.According to the research results of the brain scientist, because the energy is limited, once the mind is awakened, the mood will naturally be weakened, or even sleep.

How can we wake up our minds? It is not very difficult.

The first approach is to first understand the above principles and then describe the feelings you are experiencing in words when you feel strong emotions in the future-or say to yourself in your heart, it is not recommended to write it down with a pen or tell someone about it, but it is one of the important reasons for the attraction of Christianity, because anything can be said to the priest ......). This method seems to be common, but it has a magical effect. The principle is that when we use a language, we must start the Layer 3 responsible for intelligence. Otherwise, we cannot use a language to describe anything. Once the third layer starts, it will gradually occupy more energy.

The second method is to enable instant feeling. This is a new concept. When we perceive things around us, we actually have two ways: Pattern cognition and instant feeling. When the mode is used for cognition, the information is processed by the second layer, and then returned to the third layer. When the instant feeling is used, the information is processed by the third layer directly. What is instant feelings? That is, you can hear the sound around you, see the scene, and feel the feeling of the wind blowing through your skin ......

Therefore, when you realize that you are being influenced by strong emotions, use the first method (to describe your feelings in words) to start the third layer, then we can use real-time feelings (focus on what we can hear, what we can see, what we can smell, what we can feel, and so on) to strengthen the operation of Layer 3, it can occupy more energy and resume normal operation.

Once the Level 3 responsible for intelligence is restarted and can run properly, you will have an "updated" Description of the emotions you will experience on Level 2, that is, the so-called "Rational Treatment of emotions ".

Because many people do not understand this principle, they are pulled in the opposite direction. When they are suddenly affected by strong emotions, the third layer goes dormant, and the second layer becomes too active, as a result, they subconsciously start the first layer responsible for reflection-the layer for eating and sleeping ). In daily life, I often see girls become fat after they fall out of love. In general, it is caused by the desperate start of the first layer to sleep the second layer.
