Cruising the web on an information search I just ran into these Chinese bunnies called Tuzki on this Art Site. What amazed me was how quickly they connected with my emotional center. They are simply drawn and yet expressive in my eyes – like this desperate one here:
I guess that is why quite a few German bloggers use these Tuzkis to show their actual mood in the sidebars of their blogs. Just imagine to transfer that kind of visible emotional state out of virtuality into real life settings! Wouldn’t it make some communications and things easier to receive visual signals on how our counterpart feels? I am fantazising about: (S)He is wearing a mini mood screen attached to her/his clothes. That would be a wordless “I-message” like “I feel desperate!” or “I am sad”. That means (s)he knows her/his genuine feeling and shows it this way. Is there a reason that I only mention so-called “negative” emotions? Yes, happiness, joy, enthusiasm, being in love usually are unmasked and visible at first sight.
One step back: Each morning when we get up we check our emotional state by looking at visualized moods that we feel attracted to. Then we decide to accept and even embrace the identified mood in this very moment and at the same time work with it consciously in a MMM - Morning Mood Management. Being aware of an emotional state like sadness also gives us the chance to ask questions like: What is it that can make me feel (a bit) happier in this very moment and soften the sadness? One answer can be: A colourful red rose on this grey and cold late atumn day… and you go and get one. Another answer could be: a cup of hot chocolate. Both is pretty easy to acquire for the moment.
Back to reality. What about you? How are you today? Are you in contact with your emotional center? Does a feeling like sadness show as sadness or is it masked as anger or impatience or…?
I wish you a happy groovy day:
