So seen from this angle, when we understand that, we say to ourselves: "OK. Negative emotions, being important, our job is to manage them and not to eliminate them". Because of course, there is a difference between being in danger facing a ferocious beast and stressing for weeks because of a meeting at work. The modern world is a source of negative emotions which are useless, even destructive for our health. So the idea is not going to be to eliminate them, because that is impossible, as we will see, but in any case it is not desirable, they are useful, it is going to be to manage them, to tame them.
And I talked about this subject in a YouTube video called " I'll take you for a walk ". I invite you to go see it. I made a lot of effort, I took a video of myself in nature, I showed you lots of things. And at the end, I showed, 'well I talked about one of my readings which was... it's a book by Steve Peters, The Chimpanzee Paradox, which explained to you that in fact you had to take care of the emotional part of your brain. And the emotional part of your brain is what he calls the chimpanzee in his book.
So I recommend this book to you. There is also a YouTube video that was made on the subject, on the Français Authentique channel, but I really invite you to go and study all of that, because south africa whatsapp number data he explains to us that in fact emotions are stronger than reason, they are also faster than reason, so we cannot beat them, that is to say someone who tells me how to eliminate my negative emotions, well he is trying to do something that is impossible, emotions being stronger and faster than reason,
And that is linked once again to our evolution. That is what made us survive, once again. So it is not possible. If we did not have emotions, let's be clear, there would not be much difference between human beings, men, women, and vegetables or animals. So suddenly, we must, in my opinion, seek to use and control our emotions instead. Fear in itself is not bad, we must try to transform it or use it in the form of caution. The fact that something scares us, sometimes it means that we must be cautious.
If you're afraid, I don't know, of... If you're in the mountains and you're afraid because there's a path that's narrow, well maybe that fear is useful and it's going to say: "OK. Be careful, it's dangerous, hold on or take another path." Fear can be a good message to be careful or a message to prepare. If you're afraid before giving a presentation at work or at university, well prepare yourself. Fear is a message that tells you: "Oh, there's something at stake, it's important, so prepare yourself." Pain is information. Mistakes, regrets, that's something that can be transformed into learning.
So you can transform all these so-called negative emotions or those that give you negative feelings into more positive things. And of course, it works with positive emotions. Desire and want, it becomes motivation etc. So don't try... this is really the big message that I wanted to get across to you today, don't try to suppress your negative emotions. First of all, it's impossible to do, and what's more, they are useful.
