Embrace the Emotion: Reflection Reveals the Lesson
Optimization involves not eliminating negative emotions but rather working with them as part of human psychological functioning. Acknowledging that emotions may anchor us in the past, it's crucial to recognize when we are experiencing heightened emotional states, whether positive or negative. In those moments, pausing to reflect becomes essential, as it can unveil significant insights about our feelings. High activation states indicate the need for reflection to identify underlying lessons, such as recognizing what we cherish in relationships or work. These reflections can guide future decisions and inform our paths moving forward.
