My take on HMS combinations / fusions

Soul and Mind:

A "machine" of "absolute logic" mixed with a mentally unwell, parasocial (technical) host who is only alive because of his belief in a damn near impossible mission

When they fuse, I'd say they'd by go by the name of Venus, based off the planet, which is known to be the deadliest planet in our solar system. They'd probably claim the name as meaning their very strong, making them deadly. However, I think they would be a fragile person, despite the physical strength. They'd be so hell bent on a logical and sound way to become Whole, of which they admire for being a perfect being of both logic and emotion. They would be 100% human, but half of them would be coated in a metal shell due to being incapable of recognizing themselves without metal.

That's just my opinion though.

My Book Review

I'm not even gon hold you. I didn't know a lot about Lisa Marie besides the basics. I mainly went into this book to know what her and Michael had going on 👀. I left with more than an understanding of her through her emotional state, opinions and thoughts. I left with a deeper understanding of us as humans.

Man, this is heartbreaking. This memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown, is a meditation on generational trauma, addiction, grief, motherhood, and love. I know this book will be on my mind for a while. There were a number of parts I highlighted. But this one stuck out for me the most and left me thinking:

“…pills were designed to addict you from within. Even if you only take them for two or three weeks straight, you're going to have some kind of blowback. Your body is going to withdraw. But I don't think it's just physical. I believe that a body is just a body, and the spirit is ultimately inside of the physical shell, and I don't think chemicals have anything to do with the spirit. They make the physical addiction to the body—but the root of the addiction comes from being really unhappy. That’s a spiritual problem.”

Self medicating, addiction, and finding ways to cope are ultimately things to ease the flesh. We can see the flesh. The spirit is what we can't see. "My heart is breaking." Your heart isn't physically breaking; your spirit (or energy) is experiencing a moment of descend. Just as the mind. "I have a lot on my mind." We can medically see a brain, but we can't see the mind or what it contains. How I make sense of this is that when the mind and the spirit are left unaddressed and unaligned from a process of healing absent of the flesh, it causes someone to descend into an energy slumber.

When I was a kid, Duracell came out with a new type of battery where you could press the area near the plus sign and it would visually tell you how much energy it had left. Energy is a life source. Our spirit is our life's energy housed in our body (a shell). Self medicating, addiction, and finding ways to cope provide temporary moments of relief for the flesh before wearing off, or even further increasing the distance from the root issue(s).

One could say mental health is for bridging the mind and spirit into alignment for reviving/awakening our energy. It can steer us in the right direction to address the root issue(s) and reconnect with ourselves or discover ourselves. Religion also comes to mind as well for why people may turn to religious practices for a sense of belonging, but also for spiritual healing. You could also say it's for nourishing the mind since their interconnected. Just some of my thoughts.

What is emotional awareness? Why do people hide their feeling?

July 6, 2023

Author: Yuting Yen

Keywords: emotional awareness, feeling, emotion

Persona: all genders, 20-40 years old

Introduction

Emotional awareness is not an uncommon term in modern society (sometimes it sounds like terminology). When talking about health concerns, which is the most well-liked topic online, in a podcast or a magazine, people may think that if I have a nice body shape, have six packs, have firm abs (abdominal muscles), or a standard BMI value it represents that they are healthy, and logically speaking, they are right. Their physical forms may look amazing and aesthetically pleasing, but what about their inside? Wait a minute! I am not referring to the health status of their inside organs, but rather their mental health.

An individual's mental health is critical, it might sound like an old cliché, but people tend to neglect its consequences. According to research from the University of Minnesota, our body health can be affected by our thoughts and feelings. Thus, in this article, I would like to give my readers, who are around 20 to 40 years old, a brief introduction to an easy understanding of what is emotional awareness and why it is critical to every individual. It also raises awareness of the importance of paying attention to our emotions. Moreover, I would like to discuss the relationship between families and why humans conceal their emotions. So, let's start!

What is emotional awareness?

Emotional awareness is the ability to recognize our feelings and understand why we behave that way. Imagine your body as a wooden house, your emotions as columns and beams, and the pressure and negative thoughts as termites. With their strong mandibles, these emotional termites chew and damage your beams and columns when you feel stressed. Now you call a pest exterminator to check your house and spray termiticide on the floor, so there are no more termites in the woods until the next time these ruthless mentally charged pests attack your house, and you need to call pest control again.

We feel mad, angry, depressed, or dissatisfied when we think negatively. If we do not want to accept it and face it or even solve it, it will be like a termite colony. They ruin our mental health continuously and gradually. No matter whether we know it or not, emotions play a major role in our decision-making journey and every reaction in. However, emotional awareness is a skill that can be learned with patience and practice. To develop this skill, we learn how to connect with these uncomfortable feelings. We find suitable solutions to manage them or overcome the terrible mood.

In other words, emotion awareness teaches two basic abilities.

The ability to recognize your feelings. For example, ask yourself “How am I feeling right now?” or “I felt uncomfortable in that situation, and I understand why.”

2. The ability to handle difficult emotions in difficult situations.

The second function of emotional awareness is to allow us to understand others' feelings and thoughts from others’ points of view, rather than our own.

Why is emotional awareness relevant?

Dr. Sheri Jacobson says emotional awareness is the ability to recognize and make sense of your and others’ feelings.

Have you had an experience where you felt depressed or anxious, but don't know why, and this feeling controlled you? Have you experienced an unpleasant feeling that negatively affected your decision-making? Have you felt uncomfortable after being rejected and harboured resentment toward people who said NO to you, or did you feel guilty for saying NO to others? That is why we need to learn how to recognize our true feelings. Sometimes, we might feel regret after our temper is out of control or think we shouldn’t have said yes to everything. Our emotions drive our behaviors so if we don’t recognize our feelings, we will not fully understand our actions.

Betraying your feelings to make others happy is not a healthy way to maintain a healthy connection with people. This is true regardless of whether those people are your close friends, your roommates, your family, or even your partner. I know this sounds challenging. Some might also consider it scarification because they love their family and friends, too. As a result of the rejection, they are also concerned that it will ruin their relationship. Therefore, I would like to point out the benefit of learning emotional awareness and what it can give you:

Recognize who we are: What do we like? What don’t we like?

Have clear and effective communication with others.

Show mercy and compassion toward others.

Understand ourselves and avoid wrong decision-making.

Help ourselves build healthy relationships and boundaries with others.

Avoid panicking when faced with difficulties.

Why do people hide feelings?

If you find this story familiar, you can relate to Linda's position.

Linda’s friend, Anna, repeatedly asked her for a cup of coffee on the way to the office. This was because Anna was unable to fulfill it herself. The first time, Linda replied yes without hesitation. The second time Anna approached Linda for the same favour again. She still agreed yes but this time she felt a little uneasy. The third time, Linda felt uncomfortable, even though she still agreed yes to Anna. The fourth time, Linda found an excuse to reject Anna. However, Anna said she needed to send her children to school so she cannot buy it on the way to the office. Linda said yes again.

Why has Linda never said no to Anna and accepted her requests?

Our brain serves as a built-in security system, so protecting ourselves from danger is our natural reaction. When we are confronted with challenging scenarios, our brains instinctively choose the option with the least risk. This concept applies to our relationship.

After talking to Linda, she indicated that she has known Anna for more than 10 years, therefore they consider each other best friends. Linda mentioned that Anna also helps her when she needs to. Moreover, Linda is worried that Anna might think Linda is not a trustworthy friend when she declines Anna's requests.

As human beings are social animals, a feeling of belonging and identity is essential. To avoid getting hurt, people hide their feelings. If you react negatively or tell people how you feel, it might lead to a more harmful conflict. In addition, avoiding showing weakness is another reason, as showing your emotions might put you in a vulnerable position. Human nature protects us by refraining from expressing sadness, madness, fear, or frustration in front of others. However, hiding emotions could result in disrupted communication, emotional breakdown, physical health disorders or mental disorders.

Summary

People hide their feelings because they worry about others’ reactions or what others think about them. Occasionally concealment is necessary, but it is not a healthy way to deal with negative feelings.

Even though it can be difficult to recognize your emotions and express them correctly to others, practicing being more patient with your true heart or visiting a therapist can help you in the long term. In this case, consequences are not an issue.

If this happens again, try to express how you feel toward the person who makes you feel uneasy. You don't have to scold them or blame them, you just need to tell them "Hey, I don't think I am comfortable with the situation." It is fine if they don't like your reaction because it is not your problem. Remember, if you want to be respected by others, the great thing is to respect yourself.

Title: "So you read Minds or...?"

- A Theoretical Discussion in Regards to HIS Divine Perks (lol).

context:

I found myself listening in on a Christian prayer (shocker) where it was mentioned that 'we' are all aware of God's watchful eyes in our lives... giving of a sense that Mr. God knows every single thing we do, which led me to the following string of questions:

“Does God read our minds? Or does He see our heart? And is what’s reflected in our heart actually a consequence of our mind? Or... is our mind really our heart? Maybe when we say 'heart,' we really mean 'soul,' our personal light, an aura? If so, could it be that God sees us through our soul—our energy, essence, whole being... And does that include reading our thoughts?”

The Joys of Taking Breaks Amidst the Hustle and Bustle

Ah, my dear comrades in the whirlwind of work and responsibility, do allow me to illuminate the wondrous virtues of indulging in breaks amidst the relentless cadence of our hectic workdays. In this modern epoch, where time appears to slip through our fingers like fine sand, the notion of pausing, of taking a moment's respite, might seem a quaint indulgence. Yet, I beseech you, it is a necessity as vital as the air we breathe.

The Bountiful Benefits:

Enhanced Productivity: Picture this, if you will: a weary mind toils tirelessly, hour upon hour, without respite. Alas, its efficacy wanes with each passing moment, akin to a candle flickering in the tempest. Yet, a judicious pause, a brief interlude of repose, revitalizes the spirit, restoring vigor and clarity to one's endeavors.

Mental Well-being: Amidst the maelstrom of deadlines and obligations, the mind can become ensnared in a labyrinth of stress and anxiety. Ah, but fear not, for a well-timed break serves as a beacon of solace, guiding us back to a tranquil shore where peace and equilibrium reign supreme.

Creativity Unleashed: In the stillness of a moment's pause, creativity dances like a sprite upon the canvas of our thoughts. Freed from the shackles of routine, the mind wanders unfettered, weaving tapestries of innovation and inspiration.

Physical Rejuvenation: Ah, the body, that noble vessel that carries us through the tumult of existence. A respite from the relentless march of tasks allows for its replenishment, restoring vitality to weary limbs and clarity to tired eyes.

Tips for Embracing Breaks with Gusto:

Schedule Intervals of Rest: Just as the conductor orchestrates the movements of a symphony, so too must we orchestrate the rhythm of our workday. Set aside specific intervals for breaks, honoring them as sacred oases amidst the desert of duty.

Engage in Mindful Activities: Whether it be a leisurely stroll through nature's embrace or a moment of quiet contemplation with a cup of tea, choose activities that nourish the soul and rejuvenate the spirit.

Disconnect to Reconnect: Ah, the siren song of technology, forever beckoning with its tantalizing allure. Yet, in the pursuit of true rejuvenation, dare to disconnect from the digital realm, allowing the mind to wander freely and unencumbered.

Embrace the Power of Breath: In the tumult of our daily lives, the breath stands as a steadfast companion, a beacon of calm amidst the storm. Take heed of its gentle rhythm, allowing its ebb and flow to guide you back to a place of serenity.

In conclusion, my dear compatriots in the grand tapestry of existence, let us not underestimate the transformative power of a well-timed break. For in the symphony of life, it is the pauses between the notes that give meaning to the melody. Embrace them with open arms, and may they lead you to newfound heights of joy and fulfillment.

Discovering the Revitalizing Elixir: The Joys of Bathing in Pristine Rivers

Ah, the exquisite allure of a pristine river, a sanctuary where nature's symphony harmonizes with the soul's melody. As the gentle ripples caress the shore, one cannot help but feel an intrinsic connection to the earth's rhythms. For centuries, civilizations have revered these aqueous sanctums not just for their beauty, but for their profound healing properties.

Immersing oneself in the crystalline embrace of a clean river isn't merely an act of refreshment; it's a communion with the very essence of vitality. The ancient Greeks recognized this, believing in the purifying powers of water to cleanse both body and spirit. And they were onto something profound.

Mentally, the act of submerging oneself in the flowing embrace of a river fosters a profound sense of tranquility. The worries of the world are washed away with each gentle current, leaving behind a serene clarity of mind. In a world fraught with the clamor of modern life, this respite is truly a treasure beyond measure.

Yet, the benefits extend far beyond mere mental rejuvenation. Our bodies, intricately woven into the fabric of nature, find solace in the embrace of these pristine waters. The minerals present in natural rivers, from magnesium to calcium, nourish our skin and invigorate our senses. A dip in these revitalizing elixirs is akin to a luxurious spa treatment, with Mother Nature herself as the master artisan.

Moreover, the physical exertion required to navigate the gentle currents provides a subtle yet effective form of exercise. As our muscles engage in this aquatic ballet, our bodies are toned and strengthened in harmony with the natural world.

But perhaps the greatest gift bestowed by these limpid waters is the restoration of our connection to the earth. In an age where concrete jungles dominate the landscape, the opportunity to immerse oneself in the raw beauty of nature is a rare and precious gift. It's a reminder that we are not merely spectators in this grand symphony of life, but integral participants, each note woven into the tapestry of existence.

So, let us heed the siren call of the river's embrace, and rediscover the timeless joys of bathing in its pristine waters. For in its crystalline depths, we may just find the elixir of life itself.
