post 102 emotional well-being continuing with emotions: surprise

hello again: Today I return with the emotion of surprise. And I wanted to give you a story about this emotion, as it helps us focus. But such has been my surprise that I have not found any. So if you know any, I am delighted that you send it to me and we can comment on it. I already mentioned a couple of posts ago what it is surprise, that it is astonishment or bewilderment at something we do not expect (something new, a surprise visit … )And it is useful since it helps us to react to the unexpected and to find an answer to something new. It is a positive emotion (all in their right degree are) since it makes it easier for us to care and explore it. Usually it is the first emotion that comes to us, and it lasts very little. Then move on to another emotion. Thus, faced with sad news that we do not expect, first we feel surprise and then we feel sadness. The surprise lasts a few seconds, if it lasts several minutes it may be dysfunctional. And what is this emotion for? surprise allows you to put yourself in a state of “alert” to something you do not expect. For example, if you are crossing in green and it suddenly turns red, you are first surprised, you react and run to finish crossing. And helps you to survive And you, when was the last time you were surprised? Tell me here or through my email mariarivescoach@gmail.com and I am delighted to read you and accompany you on your journey of emotional well-being. And before any doubt or desire to have emotional well-being, you know where I am
