![]() It gives us permission to not accept anyone else’s judgement on ourselves. It gives respect to our emotions at that moment of time. Self-acceptance also means that we accept our mistakes.

I choose to free myself, accept that I did nothing wrong, I choose to accept myself as I am.” I must have carried all those feelings within myself for years. I must have felt lonely not having anyone else to share with. I must have also been angry with my mom, making me feel inadequate. As a four-year-old, I felt ashamed colouring out of the line. My mother shouldn’t have been so critical of my colouring. ![]() If our young girl accepted her childhood scenario, as an adult she would have reasoned like this: “Colouring out of the picture at age four is age-appropriate behavior. This is one of the destroyers of depression. Acceptance of our feelings is true self-acceptance. We feel a certain way because we feel a certain way. Every time they surface, we must accept their existence. Disappointment is a negative emotion when our expectations don’t match up to our outcome.įeelings associated with disappointment are sadness, anger, frustration, loneliness.įeelings come in waves. These negative thoughts then give rise to our negative feelings. When we tend to ruminate in similar negative thoughts, we build stronger neural connections to those thoughts. Thoughts are cognitive, and feelings are a way to express our emotions.ĭepression is an issue of thought. The thought of colouring and the feeling of disappointment became connected here. Thoughts and feelings are, however, separate. Looks of disappointment, especially from an authority figure, can lead them to believe disappointment in themselves early on. Children absorb everything from 0 – 7 years. That’s not good enough.” The mom’s intention was encouragement, but the child’s perception was “I’m not good enough.”Ī few more similar instances and the brain can set up a neural pathway to fire the neurons together in the brain, “I’m not good enough when I colour.” Every time she colours, a feeling of “not being good enough” arises. How does this affect us? When a young girl was a four-year-old and colouring her book, perhaps the mother gently admonished her, “You must colour within the lines. In order to operate efficiently, it forms neural network patterns that fire together. The brain is where the neurons are fired together, resulting in thoughts, feelings and action. We have to reassess the thoughts of the mind and quieten it when it doesn’t serve our needs. Its nature is primarily to warn and protect, not encourage and prosper.

Interestingly, three of these basic emotions are considered as negative emotions sadness, anger and fear. Out of over 34,000 emotions, the four basic emotions are those of happiness, sadness, anger and fear. If a person has the genes -, the Rh factor will be negative.Ī baby receives one gene from the father and one from the mother.The mind has two basic functions, to help us survive and keep us away from pain. If a person has the genes + -, the Rh factor will also be positive. If a person has the genes + +, the Rh factor in the blood will be positive. The Rh-positive gene is dominant (stronger) and even when paired with an Rh-negative gene, the positive gene takes over. Rh factors follow a common pattern of genetic inheritance. A baby may have the blood type and Rh factor of either parent, or a combination of both parents. The following are the possible combinations of blood types with the Rh factors: If there is no Rh factor protein, the person is Rh- negative. ![]() If the Rh factor protein is present on the cells, the person is Rh-positive. The Rh factor is a protein that is found on the covering of the red blood cells. The blood type is found as proteins on red blood cells and in body fluids. The blood type and the Rh factor simply mean that a person's blood has certain specific characteristics. Every person has a blood type, (O, A, B, or AB) and an Rh factor, either positive or negative.
