“Anytime you feel negative emotion, stop and say: 'Something is important here, otherwise I would not be feeling this negative emotion. What is it that I want?' And then simply turn your attention to what you DO want. In the moment that you turn your attention to what you want, the negative attraction will stop, and in the moment the negative attraction stops, the positive attraction will begin. And in that moment, your feelings will change from not feeling good to feeling good.” WantFeelsImportantMomentsFeelingsSpiritualTurnsEmotionAttentionNegativeAttractionWhat You WantFeel GoodLaw Of AttractionThat MomentNegative EmotionsNot Feeling Good Author:Esther Hicks

“I want to be the apostle of self destruction. I want my book to affect man's reason, his emotions, his nerves, his whole animal nature.

“The old adage that polite conversation should not include talk of politics or religion is understandable because both subjects are so heavily laden with emotion that discussion can quickly turn to shouting.

“Through positive thinking and related approaches, we seek the safety and solid ground of certainty, of knowing how the future will turn out, of a time in the future when we'll be ceaselessly happy and never have to fear negative emotions again. But in chasing all that, we close down the very faculties that permit the happiness we crave.” ThinkingTurnsEmotionKnowingPositive ThinkingApproachNegativeSafetyCertaintyRelatedFacultyPermitChasingCraveNegative Emotions Author:Oliver Burkeman
“I think your emotion changes from person to person. As you get older, a lot of people become cynical because of the experiences they have had and haven't been able to let go of, whether they've been cheated on or whether it hasn't worked out.

“As a songwriter, you're never off - for me, anyway. There's a certain mentality of people that decide, "Oh, we're going to try to write songs from this time of the day to this time of the day." Almost treat it like a real job. I can't do that. I've never been able to write songs like that. You never know when something creative is going to hit you, or emotion or whatever. You can take it, and turn it into something that makes somebody feel something.

“In truth, “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” isn't about Sept. 11. It's about the impulse to drain that day of its specificity and turn it into yet another wellspring of generic emotions: sadness, loneliness, happiness. This is how kitsch works. It exploits familiar images, be they puppies or babies - or, as in the case of this movie, the twin towers - and tries to make us feel good, even virtuous, simply about feeling. And, yes, you may cry, but when tears are milked as they are here, the truer response should be rage.” FeelsShouldTryingMayFeelingsTurnsEmotionCasesSadnessLonelinessCryTearsBabyResponseRageFamiliarFeel GoodImpulseLoudWorking ItVirtuousTwinsTowersExploitsPuppyDrainsKitschGenericSpecificityWellspringSept 11Twin Towers Author:Manohla Dargis
