Content: Emotions send us important messages and help us connect with others and accomplish great things, she said. Using unhealthy strategies can sabotage our relationships, job and even our health, Mininni said. In fact, people who handle stress effectively have healthier immune systems, don’t get sick as often and age up to 16 years more slowly than people who don’t. ( ( She cited Michael Roizen’s meta-analysis of over 800 studies, which is featured in his book Real Age .)) What is an Emotion? There’s actually no consensus on what an emotion is, Mininni said. She defines emotions as a “full-body experience,” an interplay between our thoughts and physical sensations. As an illustration, Mininni created the following simple formula: Thoughts + Body Sensations = Emotion
For instance, a kind of giddy happiness and anxiety have the same sensations, such as tight muscles and a pounding heart. What determines whether we feel happy or anxious are our thoughts.
