Do you ever feel like you're riding a roller coaster of emotions?
Do you know it's possible to feel positive and negative emotions at the same time?

Listen up because today we are talking about the single and dual spectrum of emotions.

Single Spectrum often sets us up for disappointment and frustration. Perceiving our emotions on a single spectrum actually complicates our efforts to be happy.

Dual Spectrums of emotions reflect our ability to experience various emotions at various levels at the same time. An example of this would be giving birth, which creates feelings of pain and anguish but it also creates feelings of anticipation and excitement.

Happiness Homework:
1. Positivity Ratio
2. Gratitude

Quotes:
"Expectations breeds frustrations."
"If we think happiness is the absence of unhappiness, we will be constantly frustrated and disappointed."

In this episode, we talk about how negative and positive emotions each serve a purpose in our life. We briefly touch on what role negative emotions play and then shift our focus to how we can pursue more positive emotions to transform us into happier and healthier people!

While negative emotions are important to help us survive (example: Flight or Flight response), they do narrow our focus and limit our ability to think creatively. Negative emotions can also cause physical stress and worry, which can weigh heavy on our mind and body.

On the other hand, positive emotions broaden our focus. They expand our thoughts, increase our creativity, and help us find solutions.

Jamie and Jules reference the Broaden and Build Theory of Positive Emotions, as well as, the Transforming Effect of Positive Emotion (an analogy used was the Domino Effect) by Barbara Frederickson. You will hear examples from research and real-life experiences that you can relate to and apply in your life right now!
