Emotions are temporary and based on your current thoughts. Example: When you think of a happy memory, you feel joy; conversely, thinking about a loss brings sadness.

Understand the Nature of Emotions

Accepting doesn't mean agreeing; it means acknowledging your feelings without judgment. Example: If you’re feeling jealous, instead of berating yourself, accept the feeling as a signal of something you might value or desire.

Accept Your Emotions:

Your thoughts influence your emotions; interrogate the evidence for your thoughts. Example: If you think you'll never succeed, challenge this by listing your past achievements.

Challenge Unhelpful Thoughts

S: Stop what you're doing. T: Take a few deep breaths. O: Observe your thoughts and feelings. P: Proceed with an action that helps. Example: In an argument, instead of reacting immediately, stop, breathe, and assess before responding calmly.

Use the STOP Method:

Changing the way you look at a situation can alter how you feel about it. Example: Seeing a job loss not as a failure but as an opportunity to find a better fit can shift you from despair to optimism.

Shift Your Perspective

Regularly reflecting on what you are thankful for can enhance your overall emotional well-being.Example: Keeping a gratitude journal where you write three things you're thankful for each day. If possible go to your nearest hospital or crematory once in a month. This is a personal suggestion, not in the book.

Practice Gratitude

Resilience is the ability to bounce back from negative emotional experiences.Example: After a setback, focusing on what can be learned rather than dwelling on the failure.

Develop Emotional Resilience

Some stress is beneficial and can drive you to achieve your goals (known as eustress). Example: The stress of a deadline can motivate you to complete your work efficiently.

Foster Optimal Stress

Surround yourself with positive influences that support emotional growth.Example: Engage with friends who encourage and uplift you, rather than those who drag you down. I personally believe this cause good companionship can change your life. Make few good best friends.Here I want to dedicate a line to my best friend, "जिंदगी मैं कुछ कमा रखा है, एक कोहिनूर को अपना दोस्त बनारखा है".....

Create a Supportive Environment (Most Important)

Exercise can help manage emotions by releasing endorphins and reducing stress hormones. Example: Going for a brisk walk or run when feeling anxious to calm your nervous system.

Use Physical Activity

Practicing mindfulness helps you stay present and reduces rumination and worry. Example: Practicing daily meditation to root yourself in the now. Basic Pranayama for 15 minutes daily is enough.

The law of attraction is a concept that suggests that people have the ability to attract into their lives whatever they focus on. This idea is based on the belief that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative experiences into a person's life.

What is the Law Of Attraction ?

In other words, what a person thinks about and focuses on the most will manifest in their life.

Law Of Attraction

Principales of the law of attraction believe that by thinking positively and focusing on their goals and desires, individuals can attract positive outcomes and experiences. This means that if someone maintains a positive mindset, they will attract positive energy and opportunities into their life. Likewise, if someone focuses on negative thoughts and emotions, they will attract negative experiences.

A key principle of the law of attraction is the power of visualization. By visualizing their desires and goals as already achieved, individuals can send out positive energy and attract those manifestations into their reality. This involves creating a clear mental image of what they want and believing that it is already on its way to them. This can help individuals stay focused and motivated while working towards their goals.

POWER OF VISUALISATION

It is important to note that the law of attraction is often associated with the concept of taking inspired action.The law of attraction is not about simply wishing for things to happen, but rather aligning one's thoughts, emotions, and actions with the desired outcomes.

Do take actions !!!

In the end, the law of attraction is a concept that suggests individuals have the ability to attract positive or negative experiences into their lives based on their thoughts and focus.

" When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it. "

I described here about my understanding about the Law Of Attraction.

LAW OF ATTRACTION 

Become an adept observer of body language. Noticing subtle physical changes can offer insights into a person's thoughts or emotions.

Observation is Key:

Understand a person's normal behavior before interpreting deviations as meaningful. A baseline allows you to notice when behavior changes, possibly indicating shifts in feelings or attitudes.

Establish a baseline :

Always consider the context when interpreting body language. Like crossed arms might suggest defensiveness in one situation or simply that the person is cold in another.some examples of positive body language:<ul><li>Posture: Be relaxed but don't slouch. Stand up tall to convey confidence.</li><li>Eye contact: Maintain eye contact for a few seconds at a time.</li><li>Gestures: Use simple hand gestures. Avoid touching your face.</li><li>Facial expressions: Smile and use positive facial expressions.</li></ul>

Context Matters

Look for clusters of body language signals. A single gesture might not mean much, but a series of signals can provide a clearer indication of a person's state of mind. For example; while you asking serious question to a person, “telltale cluster” of nonverbal signals associated with lying are: hand touching, face touching, crossing arms, and leaning away.

Clusters of Gestures

Pay attention when someone’s words do not match their body language. This incongruence can be a telltale sign of what they might truly be thinking or feeling. For example, someone might tell you they are happy while frowning and staring at the ground. So when someone says one thing, but their body language suggests something else.

Inappropriateness between Words and Body Language

The face can be revealing. While some people can control their facial expressions to a degree, microexpressions often slip through, revealing genuine emotions.<ul><li>Happiness: Raised cheeks, raised lip corners, "crow's feet" wrinkles around the eyes, tightened muscles around the eyes</li><li>Sadness: Raised inner corners of the eyes, loose eyelids, lip corners pulled down</li><li>Surprise: Dilated pupils, open mouth, lifted eyelids and eyebrows</li></ul>

Facial Expressions

Eye behavior can provide clues to a person's thought processes or feelings. For instance, lack of eye contact can imply discomfort or dishonesty, whereas direct eye contact tends to signify confidence and honesty.

Eye Movements

A person's stance and the way they position themselves in a space can indicate their attitude and level of engagement. Leaning towards someone often shows interest, whereas leaning back could imply disinterest or a desire for space.

Posture and Positioning

People have an innate sense of personal space and territory, and how they react to the encroachment of their space can provide insights into their comfort levels and feelings towards the other person.An example is students as they sit in class. Some students like to spread their backpack and books out in a way to let other students know that they do not want others to sit next to them. These students seem to value having a lot of space to themselves.

Territoriality and Personal Space

When people are in rapport, they tend to mirror each other’s movements and postures. Observing such synchrony can indicate a good connection and agreement.Here are some examples of synchrony:<ul><li>In-phase: Behaving in the same way as the other person, such as crossing the same leg as a friend when sitting down</li><li>Anti-phase: Taking turns, such as in conversation</li></ul>Here are some examples of mirroring:<ul><li>Matching your speed to someone else's</li><li>Crossing the same leg as a friend when sitting down</li><li>Finishing each other's statements</li><li>Agreeing on decisions</li></ul>

Synchrony and Mirroring

By understanding these principles, you can better interpret the nonverbal cues that people give off, potentially improving communication and understanding in social situations. 🙂This is my first post in deepstash, if you have any suggestions or questions do ask me in telegram;@abhijeet_chakrabartyHappy Reading 😊
