Emotions are contagious!

Updated: Jan 1, 2021


We all are fairly aware of what emotions are, let me here help you dive deeper into the effect of emotions on our physicality. Let me ask you a question.


How many of you have ever cried while watching a movie?

Quite a few hmn.

How many of you have laughed incessantly while watching a hilarious sitcom?

Who here has experienced laughter Yoga?

It clearly tells emotions are contagious. E-Motion can be stated as energy in motion; our intense emotions can hit people in our surroundings, for example if you are laughing incessantly there is a likelihood that someone around you may start laughing as well. An angry person in your vicinity may induce anger in you.


We need to protect ourselves from being infested with downward spiral emotions which take us to fear, Grief and depression. At the same time we have to be conscious of our own energy by keeping it clean and high by moving up the ladder of upward spiral emotions.

Emotions are also linked to behavioral tendency. Extroverted people are more likely to be social and express their emotions, while introverted people are more likely to be socially withdrawn and conceal their emotions.


Emotions are responses to significant internal and external events causing feelings. Emotions come from the arousal of the nervous system. Neurotransmitters and hormones, such as dopamine, serotonin, endorphins and cortisol are chemicals that are involved in the process of feeling emotions. Our emotions are the window to our mental health, how we feel and react during an experience or interaction tells a lot about our personality.


Our emotions exhibit vibes. Our emotions are the indicator of our vibrational frequency. Whatever vibration we are emitting universe brings to us similar situations. This is Law of attraction.


Remember that your emotional state is largely a result of the meaning you give to what happens. If you change the meaning, you can change your state. Emotions that are not felt and released but buried within, can cause serious illness, including cancer, arthritis, and many types of chronic deceases. We all have the ability and power to handle our emotions consciously and all we have to do is, to make a choice to raise our vibration. Sitting with your emotions and feeling them fully will release them but the challenge is to be aware of it and not react in the moment of arousal of an emotion.


Emotional intelligence refers to people's ability to monitor their own and other people's emotional states and to use this information to act wisely in relationships and other areas of life.


Emotional intelligence has five parts:

1. Self-awareness: recognizing internal feelings.

2. Managing emotions: finding ways to handle emotions that are appropriate to the situation

3. Motivation: using self-control to channel emotions toward a goal

4. Empathy: understanding the emotional perspective of other people

5. Handling relationships: using personal information and information about others to handle social relationships and to develop interpersonal skills.


Researchers are beginning to develop tests that can measure emotional intelligence. Scientists who study emotions generally believe that people with high emotional intelligence usually work well in cooperative situations and are good at motivating and managing others. People with low emotional intelligence often misinterpret emotional signals and have difficulty with relationships and other areas of their life.


When our emotional health is in a bad state, so is our level of self-esteem. We have to slow down and deal with what is troubling us, so that we can enjoy the simple joy of being happy and at peace with ourselves.


The power lies within us!!
