Expert Ideas about Emotion:

• the happiest time of day is lunchtime, and the most relaxed day is Wednesday.

• In Greek myth, many of the ills that plagued mankind were creatures of emotion, such as revenge, spite, and envy. Released by the goddess Pandora, they sought to torment the world.
  
• Ancient doctors believed that different organs controlled certain moods. Happiness, for example, came from the heart, anger from the liver, and fear from the kidneys.
• In the English language, there are more than 400 words assigned to emotions and sentiments.
• A recent study suggests a strong correlation between wearing certain clothes and emotional states. For example, it revealed that women who are depressed or sad are more likely to wear baggy tops, sweatshirts, or jeans. Women who had more positive emotions were more likely to wear a favorite dress or jewelry and generally look nicer.
• A human can make over 10,000 facial expressions to express a wide variety of subtle emotions.
• Stanford University analyzed around 13 million emotions that have been recorded on the Web since 2005.
• Studies show that men and women experience the same amount of emotion, but women tend to show it more.
• Colors can profoundly affect emotional responses. While not everyone experiences the same emotion in response to a particular color, most people find reds and oranges stimulating and blues and purples restful. In contrast, gray, brown, black, or white tend to be emotionally dulling. In fact, studies reveal that children playing in an orange room were friendlier, alert, creative, and less irritable than children in playrooms painted white, brown, and black.
• Studies show that if people adjust their facial expression to reflect an emotion, they actually begin to feel that emotion.

I say when we pay attention to our emotions we will have a much better handle on them.♥
