Celebrating Focusing on learning from a good thing. Wanting resources to aid this. Happy Focusing on a good thing. Wanting it to repeat eventually. Sad Focusing on a bad thing. Wanting it to go better. Crying / Mourning Focusing on learning from a bad thing. Wanting resources to aid this. When we are having good emotions, our involved habits and learning processes may be growing -- responding to successes by storing ways to respond to them again in the future. When we are having bad emotions, some involved habits and learning processes may be shrinking -- responding to failures after an expectation of success by pulling away. If we are a random expert at one thing, these successes and failures give us our value and danger to the larger group: hence emotion. If we are already valuable due to perhaps rare knowledge, failures could be an important thing to repeat, to find rare successes. Be determined, be confident. Bret Stein made a balanced NVC feelings wheel in 2011.
