I am writing down my emotion every 3 hours and now am confused about emotion, mood, level of energy and motivation. What is the difference or relation between the 4?

leelee says: Interesting. What is it that I find interesting?
It’s interesting that in 46 minutes I hadn’t heard you say that emotions come from thoughts.
One doesn’t need to do anything but to look to the nature of thought.
One doesn’t need to do anything but to understand that one is living in the feeling of their thought each moment.
Leo Gura says: Emotions and thoughts inter-mix. They both influence each other like two celestial bodies pull on each other through gravity. So it’s not always accurate to say that emotions are caused by thoughts.
leelee says: And what if it is true that feeling comes from thought? That we live our life from the inside out? There’s something known as the three principles of the psychology of mind. Mind-Consciousness-Thought. By looking at and understanding the nature of these three principles, one comes to lead a calmer and happier life. Check it out.
Phil says: Hi,
I’ve been reading the Art of Rhetoric by Aristotle and half way through it there’s a great section on emotions. This video and that book are great together. I’m not saying you’re up there with Aristotle yet but you have to start somehwere
Cheers,
Phil!
Michael says: What is the name of your model for categorising emotions? Is it part of the sedona method?
Eelco says: Michael, search Google images “Sedona Emotions” then you will find the Emotions Chart they use(d) in 1991 in Sedona Method courses. It matches Leo’s categories: hootlessDOTcom/forum/topics/precious-releasing-things-and
Michael says: Thanks!
Simeon says: Great video. Shines a lot of sunlight into shades.
thank you for this information . I am finding that I shut down when watching and completely disconnect , only to be energized an hour or a day later . When I re watch the video it sinks in and the void is not as distant . I thank you for the information you give in areas that are difficult to describe or pinpoint for counsiling . thank you Thom
Mariano says: Great video.
