19. 0:43of emotions
20. 0:44and it's important to understand our
21. 0:46emotions so let's start off with
22. 0:49positive emotions let's talk about the
23. 0:52most famous emotion happiness this is
24. 0:55the emotion that all of us like when
25. 0:58we're happy this means that we're
26. 1:00satisfied we feel good and we're able to
27. 1:03smile so what makes people happy well
28. 1:06there could be tons of things
29. 1:08some of the most common might include
30. 1:10having good relationships enjoying your
31. 1:13job and doing fun things but honestly i
32. 1:16think the most important factor is
33. 1:18feeling like you have a purpose in life
34. 1:20if you feel like you have a reason to
35. 1:22wake up in the morning then you probably
36. 1:25experience happiness quite often
37. 1:27okay next let's talk about excitement
38. 1:30this is one of my favorite emotions when
39. 1:33you're excited you can't wait for the
40. 1:35future you feel happy and optimistic
41. 1:38about something you're gonna do or about
42. 1:40something that's gonna happen
43. 1:42so what makes people excited again there
44. 1:44could be tons of things
45. 1:46for example i know that i get excited
46. 1:49when i think about my goals for the
47. 1:51future it's fun and exciting to think
48. 1:54about what i can accomplish
49. 1:56i also feel excited when i'm gonna
50. 1:58travel
51. 1:59i really love planning trips and it
52. 2:01makes me excited to research the places
53. 2:03where i'm gonna go
54. 2:05alright let's talk about one other
55. 2:07positive emotion
56. 2:08relief
57. 2:09relief is the emotion you feel when some
58. 2:12uncertain situation ends in a positive
59. 2:15way for example imagine that you're
60. 2:17worried that you have some serious
61. 2:19health problem but then the doctor tells
62. 2:22you that you're okay and there's nothing
63. 2:24to worry about
64. 2:25you feel a sense of relief when you hear
65. 2:28that this can be a really strong emotion
66. 2:30because you release all the worry that
67. 2:33you were feeling i love this feeling
68. 2:35okay now let's talk about a few negative
69. 2:38emotions
70. 2:39first anger this is the emotion that
71. 2:42none of us like feeling it's normal to
72. 2:45feel angry at times especially when
73. 2:47someone does something really bad
74. 2:50however it's not good to feel angry all
75. 2:53the time this shouldn't be an emotion
76. 2:55that stays with us when we get mad it
77. 2:58should only be for a limited time we
78. 3:01should be able to get over this anger
79. 3:03when the bad situation passes here's one
80. 3:06tip i can give don't go to bed angry try
81. 3:10to resolve this problem before the end
82. 3:12of the day
83. 3:13this will make your life a lot better
84. 3:16another negative emotion is sadness no
85. 3:19one likes feeling sad but unfortunately
86. 3:22this is another normal emotion
87. 3:24we need to feel sad about certain things
88. 3:27but i think that if you talk about this
89. 3:30with someone that you love it really
90. 3:32helps you deal with your sadness we need
91. 3:35to be able to express this feeling and
92. 3:38then we can move on
93. 3:40one more negative emotion is fear this
94. 3:43is one of my least favorite emotions
95. 3:45there are some things in life that scare
96. 3:48us when you were a kid you were probably
97. 3:50afraid of the dark or maybe you're still
98. 3:53afraid of spiders but there are many
99. 3:56other worse fears that affect our lives
100. 3:59they can make us scared to do things and
101. 4:01they can make us feel really stressed so
102. 4:04of course it's good to try to overcome
103. 4:07our fears
