The emotions are invisible but they spread like a virus, did you know that you are programmed to transmit your emotions to others and to get infected by those around you? The strategy is to promote the most useful emotions and limit those that are harmful,
Our emotions dictate how we solve problems, relate to others, how we create, discover, love, hate, build; also we all have an inherent propensity to infect the emotions of other people. It is a primitive process, automatic, unconscious, manifested through non-verbal communication, One of the neurological mechanisms that make us imitate each other mirror neurons that encourage the automatic imitation of gestures and emotions that we recognize in others.
To survive, not to be out of the pack, we imitate others consciously and unconsciously, that's why we copy the fashions, the gestures, the ideas, the way of speaking of others; In fact we know that the social pressure to be part of a group is so great that we are anguished when we think differently from others, the brain instead rewards us if we adjust to what most people think and say.
We are programmed to survive so imitating us could save us. Imagine a flock of birds to which a danger stealthily approaches, the first bird that sees it will fly away and the others will follow it without thinking because the flock gives it protection, multiplies its chances of detecting danger and of getting safe.
There is a degree of usefulness when we are sad, we are afraid or we express anger but they can also be harmful, but we can learn to limit and manage them. It has been proven that chat and emails spread emotions despite the absence of verbal communications. The emotions of workers in a company also easily spread to consumers and affect the sales of a product or service, so we limit the spread of negative emotions.
And what do we do daily to enhance and spread positive emotions? Notice consciously what emotions you feel and what you spread to others, exaggerate the activators of good humor: eat chocolate, play sports, go out with friends, go to the movies; Eliminate or limit what wears you like: Power struggles or excessive criticism. Focus on what you do well, surround yourself with positive people and think hard before writing that nasty email or saying something negative.
Globalization implies a greater capacity for emotional contagion, a natural phenomenon that is accelerating and amplifying because of how easy it is today to contact and communicate, we have a great capacity to transmit emotions, so if you can choose: SHARE POSITIVE EMOTIONS.
