What are the 'bad feelings' that are bothering you?

Have you ever ruined a relationship by blurting out irrelevant words in a fit of anger? Have you ever been so depressed that you spent days staring at your phone? Have you ever given up on work or studying before even starting because of unnecessary anxiety? All of these are because you were held back by "emotional toxins."
According to psychologist Sylvan Tompkins, human emotions are broadly divided into nine types.
Unfortunately, six of them are 'bad emotions' that shake the heart.
A weak-minded person is easily swept away by even small waves of emotion.

'Bad feelings' rear their heads unexpectedly in every corner of our daily lives.
Today, I am 'angry' because the road is blocked, and I am 'frustrated' because I am not getting results at work.
I feel anxious because a large investment went wrong, and I feel inferior to a friend who is doing better than me.
Every time you get swayed by emotions, you end up facing bigger problems.
"The Law of Bad Emotions" is a book filled with Harvard's wisdom on cultivating and refining "emotional control skills" and "mature self."
'For the weak, misfortune is a cliff that leads to failure, but for the strong, it is a staircase that leads to success.'
Only those who control their emotions and become true masters of their minds can climb the ladder of success.

According to a Harvard psychology study, 80 percent of the factors that create achievement, fame, and wealth are related to emotions, while knowledge and skills account for only 15 percent.
This means that the ability to regulate emotions has a great impact not only on our minds, but also on work, success, daily life, and even interpersonal relationships.

---From the "Prologue"

According to research by Harvard University psychologists, the average emotional cycle lasts five weeks.
It means that it takes 5 weeks to go from happy to sad to happy again.
Of course, the cycle varies from person to person, so some people have a longer cycle and some have a shorter cycle.
The first half is a period of emotional highs and the second half is a period of emotional lows.
There is a two to three day critical period between when emotions go from high to low and from low to high.
At this time, emotions become particularly unstable and subtle imbalances occur in the body, making it easy for various problems to arise.

After the broadcast, she was fired.
The broadcasting station judged that her personality of easily getting emotional and expressing it fully during broadcasts was a major flaw as an announcer.
After a while, she heard that another broadcasting station was planning a new program and immediately applied.
The manager, who was impressed by her confident and confident appearance, gave her the job of hosting a morning talk show.
…she captivated the performers and audiences with her natural talent.
In front of her, who strongly sympathized with their stories, the guests honestly cleared up various rumors, shared unfortunate experiences from their childhood, and boldly revealed their affection for their lovers.
The protagonist of this story is Oprah Winfrey, the highest-rated talk show host in the history of world television.
Her dazzling success was the result of the very flaw that had previously gotten her fired.

On September 21, 1938, a massive hurricane struck the east coast of the United States.
… several meteorologists predicted the hurricane's size and arrival time, but the National Weather Service did not issue a warning for several minor reasons.
Residents of coastal villages also looked at wind vanes and barometers to predict that there would be unusual weather changes.
But since the 'authoritative' weather bureau didn't say anything, they didn't care.
…the vast majority of local residents made that judgment.
…blind faith in authority often leads to tragedy.

The truth is that misfortune is a cliff that leads to failure for the weak, but a stairway to success for the strong.
Whether it's misfortune or happiness, once it's happened, it can't be undone.
Instead, we can decide our attitude toward the event.
‘What attitude should I have toward life?’ means the same thing as ‘what kind of life should I live?’

You may walk a path of thorns while others walk with roses and applause.
A person who understands the essence of life and accepts the unfairness of the world does not ask for roses and applause.
Instead, he tries to turn the thorns around him into roses.

According to the basic principles of fluid dynamics, bumblebees could never fly.
He shook his head, looking puzzled at the bumblebee that overturned the foundations of physics.
The zoologists next turned to social behaviorists for help.
Before the zoologists could finish their explanation, the social behaviorist burst out laughing and asked back.
“What kind of research is needed here?” His interpretation was very simple.
The reason why bumblebees can fly is because they 'want to fly on their own.'
Because if you can't fly, you die, considering your survival ability and the environment.
After finishing his explanation, the sociologist added in a teasing tone.
“It’s a good thing that pumpkin bees don’t know anything about biology or fluid dynamics.
If I had known, I would never have flown.
No, I guess I never even thought about flying.”
---From "Chapter 5: Fear, the Toxin That Holds You Back"

In Harvard psychology classes, the adage, "The weak control their emotions with their actions, the strong control their actions with their emotions," often appears.
In an unpleasant situation, the weak get angry like fire, but the strong deal with it calmly.
Anger usually arises from our perception, interpretation and evaluation of external objects.
It is related to the individual's personality, but the most important factor is the ability to control emotions.
The reason why different people react differently to the same thing is because each person has a different ability to regulate their emotions.

---From "Chapter 6: Anger, the Toxin that Burns Reason"

Harvard's Department of Psychology has quantified worry and released related statistics and detailed analysis results.
To cut to the chase, more than 99 percent of people's concerns are unnecessary in the current situation.
40 percent is worry about the future, 30 percent is worry about the past.
22 percent are worried about things they lack in their lives, 4 percent are worried about things they cannot change, and the remaining 3 percent are worried about what they are doing now.
So what this means is that most of our worries are things we can't solve on our own in the first place.
