People today have a tendency to identify through their emotions.

I cannot explain the depth of this mistake in identity.

People will say for instance--"because I FEEL this, I therefore must DO that".

Or, "because I FEEL this way, I AM this kind of person."


Or, "You did/said that and it made me feel this/that. How awful of you!"


This is how we create triggers for our emotions to call upon us in the future.

The better thing to do with an emotion when it is felt--is to ask yourself WHY you feel that way, and WHAT the right brain is trying to tell you.

Most often, an individual will find that the emotion was triggered due to conditioning. If you run with the same emotion (especially blaming others for how you feel) you reinforce the emotion in relation to the stimuli and also, you reinforce the conditioning. This in effect, entrenches the trigger for a more powerful emotion next time you run into the same stimulus.
