From an early age, we are taught to control our emotions. \u201cDon\u2019t cry!\u201d, \u201cStop being angry!\u201d, \u201cSmile, there\u2019s nothing to be sad about!\u201d, \u201cDon\u2019t show anyone that you are unhappy!\u201d, etc. This provides a disservice to a maturing person \u2013 they lose contact with their emotions and do not know how to express them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if everything is more or less clear with negative emotions, then why is it difficult to express positive ones? After all, there is nothing wrong with them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our users write to us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI do not know how to be happy. When something good happens, along with joy, for some reason, anxiety comes. And my smile disappears… «<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can\u2019t praise my daughter — it\u2019s like I get tongue-tied. What is wrong with me? I’m actually very proud of her.»<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I hear praise \u2013 I want to hide. I can’t even say \u201cthank you\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the most common reasons that make it difficult to express positive feelings and emotions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cb Restrained, cold, non-expressive parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, children do not learn the skill to express their emotions. They simply do not know how to do it. When they grow up \u2013 this lack of skill is still there unless they make an effort to learn them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cb Beliefs that it is unsafe to show happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLaughter now leads to tears later\u201d. \u201cIf you rejoice too early, you will jinx it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now, along with joy, anxiety creeps in and shuts it down — you never know what the future has in store for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cb Trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat was the best birthday ever for me. I had fun with friends, laughed a lot, and took photos… And when I came home, it turned out that my younger brother got hit by a car. Grandma said, «That’s what happened while you were having fun.»<\/p>\n\n\n

\u25cb The fear of being judged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This also has its roots in early childhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to learn to express positive emotions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, you need to find the reason \u2013 what prevents you from feeling joy. Identify the emotion that shuts it down. Do you feel scared? Anxious? Awkward? Uncertain? Once you know the emotion \u2013 it will tell you when and where you felt it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer this question: what will happen if you will be happy\/joyful\/enthusiastic? The answer may also provide you with a hint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get to know the variety of positive emotions and how they manifest in the face and body. Basic positive emotions are interest, surprise, and joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start keeping a diary of emotions: the situation you experienced — what you thought — what you felt \u2013 how you expressed that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practice in front of a mirror — find out how you look when you smile or are interested in something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try to express positive emotions — first in a close circle of friends \u2013 to feel safe. Then in a broader circle — colleagues, acquaintances, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By taking these steps you will start developing your skills, and joy will stop being a \u201cforbidden\u201d emotion. Our course \u201cMind Cleaning\u201d will help in this endeavor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/br>
