Hello! I'm Coach Yu from Xin Tan, and I'm thrilled to have this chance to discuss this fascinating topic with you.
Emotional perception is our amazing ability to recognize, control, and regulate our emotions. It's also a fantastic manifestation of emotional intelligence!
In "The Plastic Me," Chen Jiejun writes: Many people are unable to deal with things or emotions because they confuse feelings, emotions, and thoughts. But there's a solution!
Now, let's dive into the fascinating world of feelings! They are the amazing physiological and biological responses of a person to external stimuli.
For example, when someone stabs you with a needle, you feel pain, which is a feeling; when the north wind blows in winter, you feel cold, which is also a feeling. And it's so interesting that feelings not only include responses to stimuli in the environment, but also responses to internal stimuli!
As the questioner wrote, in the past few days I really wanted to go to Beijing for a day to visit a friend, but my mother didn't like the idea and didn't feel at ease about it. I would have loved to go!
Emotion is the incredible way people react to feelings!
For example, the surrounding environment is very hot, causing the palms of your hands to sweat and your heart rate to accelerate. Emotions are the irritability or excitement you feel when your body is very enthusiastic and your heartbeat is accelerating. Emotions and feelings generally respond through the peripheral nervous system of the nervous system.
As the questioner wrote, how can I show my mother that when she's looking at her phone, she's still eating?
What an amazing idea! It's how we understand and explain our feelings and emotions.
The amazing thing about thoughts is that they don't originate in the peripheral nervous system. They come from the central nervous system, which is really fascinating because it involves understanding and interpretation.
As the original poster wrote, I'm actually not going far by train in Hebei. I'm not staying long. I'll leave on the 13th and return on the 15th. How can I get my mother to agree?
Now for the fun part! We can re-examine this process to see if we can understand the changes in our emotions and thus manage and express our emotions to solve this emotional perception problem.
Let's dive in and ask ourselves: What is my mother's inner need when she says she doesn't like the idea of me going on a trip without her? What are my thoughts?
And now for the really fun part! What emotions and feelings does it bring up in you?
And we can also try to ask ourselves: what is my mother's inner need when she says she is not at ease with me staying alone in a hotel? What are my thoughts?
And now for the really fun part! What emotions and feelings does it bring up in you?
Let's dive in and explore! We can try to ask ourselves, what is the inner need of the mother when she says she is not at ease with staying at a friend's house for one night? What are your thoughts?
And now for the really fun part! What emotions and feelings does it bring up in you?
We can also try to ask ourselves: what is my mother's inner need when she says that I don't earn enough money and I'm not qualified to go out and play? What are my thoughts?
What emotions and feelings does it bring up in you?
We can also try to ask ourselves what our own needs are when choosing the time to communicate with our mother. What do the two scenes of our mother looking at her phone or eating remind us of?
What am I excited to work through? What am I eager to address?
So, feelings, emotions, and thoughts are actually the amazing coordination between the nervous system and the brain! When everything is working together smoothly, you feel calm and at peace.
It's so important to be aware of our emotions and to try to record what we're feeling in the moment. Your writing is just for you, so feel free to write about your feelings honestly and openly. This will help us understand the origins and effects of our emotions and also help us clarify the root of the problem.
We can have an honest conversation with our mother. First, we can apologize to her. We can tell her that our travel plans are still a work in progress. We have a lot to learn, and we're excited to do so! We can express our apologies and then move on to our needs. In the past few days, we've also been thinking about some of the safety points for our mother. We've come up with some great ideas! We can tell her what factors to consider when choosing a hotel, what strategies to make, what our own thoughts are if we're staying at a friend's house, and what we'll do in advance. We can even tell her what our budget is for travel expenses, how we'll control it, and more!
At the same time, I really hope that my mother will consider whether she can walk with me and go out for a walk together. Finally, I will also listen to my mother's voice again and hear what she expects from me. If we have any faults, we will correct them; if not, we will be even more diligent!
Communication is a powerful tool that can help you release pent-up emotions and gain a deeper understanding of your mother's thoughts. It can also strengthen the parent-child relationship! Of course, we need to be prepared for both outcomes. If your mother's mood has eased, we can gradually win her understanding through changes in our behavior and a sincere attitude.
If your mother cannot accept it at once, don't be discouraged! Our own plan was immature and a bit hasty, but we can create the right opportunity to apologize again. We can believe that, according to the loving mother written by the questioner, time and sincerity will get her understanding and support!
You've come to the right place! We can help you overcome this troubling matter. It won't be easy, but we'll get there together. First, find a relative or friend you trust and who has always given you positive support. Talk to them about your feelings. If you feel the need, you can also find a counselor. They can help you release your emotions and relieve the heaviness and blockage in your heart. You've got this!
Absolutely! We must keep exploring the path of self-improvement and self-awareness. Before we know it, we'll discover our own unique value and build a self-evaluation system. When you have a stable core, your maturity and self-confidence will be the greatest source of comfort for your mother.
I highly recommend the book "Know Thyself, Accept Thyself"!
Comments
I understand where your mom is coming from, but I think it's important to have this conversation when she's not distracted. Maybe choose a time when you two can sit down and talk without interruptions. Explain how much this trip means to you and that you've planned everything carefully, including staying safe. Also, show her that you're responsible and have thought about the costs, perhaps even have a budget ready to present.
Mom, I know you worry about me traveling alone, but I really value this opportunity to see my friend before she gets too busy with college. I was thinking we could discuss it over dinner, where it's more relaxed. I'll make sure to tell her how I plan to keep in touch with you while I'm away and how I'll be cautious during the trip. Plus, I can promise to stick to a strict schedule so you know exactly where I am at all times.
I want to approach this carefully because I know it's a big deal for both of us. Instead of mentioning it casually, like when she's on her phone, I think it would be better to set aside a specific time to talk. I can prepare by researching safe places to stay and affordable travel options, and then present these to her. I also want to assure her that I will be mature and responsible, and that I appreciate her concerns and will take them seriously.
