Article 1
Our feelings can sometimes help us to achieve our life goals , but at other times they might block us from doing so. Here, we will help you to identify the feelings you are experiencing , and the different ways in which they can be helpful and problematic. It is often tempting to think about moods as extremes-low moods versus highs , and slowed-down feelings versus sped-up and activated feelings . Similarly there are ‘negative feelings’ such as fear, sadness , anger , shame and guilt, which can separate from ‘positive feelings’ such as happiness, joy, excitement and comfort.
However, even though negative feelings can be unpleasant , they usually have a purpose.
Fear help us to be prepared for a threat , and anger alerts us to situations of injustice around us .
But if we are too frightened , then we are unable to face our fears at all.
I will complete in article 2 soon.

The book HOW EMOTIONS ARE MADE by Lisa Feldman Barrett describes how neuroscience interacts with culture, nuture and how we identify, experience and control our emotions.
When young, it seemed Buddhism wanted to kill/ignore all emotions. Later I read the Dali Lama said emotions are like piano keys – all can be played/experienced but also tamed to create beautiful music.
In my old age, too often emotions are dangerous and I should simply look at them as communication from my interior self to my external self. ‘Believing in emotions’ as 100% reality is not a good idea. They are simply mental states that come and go.
I gave up on ‘happiness’ because I think it is so lovely, but soooo temporary. I’ve settled for contentment.
Your five suggestions are excellent.
