Emotions are a process, a unique type of automatic evaluation influenced by our personal and evolutionary history, in which we realize that something important to our well-being is taking place and begin a series of mental shifts and emotional reactions to deal with it.

In PARENTING YOUR EMOTIONS, you will learn how to regulate your emotions, and the seven Universal Emotions are the case study.

HAPPINESS: You can experience happiness, or joy, even when you are by yourself. However, this feeling is frequently associated with and shared with other people you like or love. When you're happy, you might feel a surge of pleasure, feel more connected to other people, and feel good about yourself and the world.
SADNESS: Although it can be difficult to determine when someone is unhappy, the feeling is universal. While someone else may lash out and mix sadness and fury, you may concentrate your melancholy within and dwell there for days. Sadness is just one emotion on the spectrum of unhappiness. On the one hand, you might be somewhat dissatisfied that a dish you liked was removed from the menu at your favorite restaurant, and on the other, you might feel a great deal of sadness when a loved one passes away.
ANGER: In contrast to more introspective feelings like fear or sadness, anger is more outwardly focused and is directed at something or someone.
An individual who is enraged may attempt to resolve their situation by physically or verbally attacking another person, but anger is not always harmful. We may be able to recognize when we are feeling burned out, deceived, or let down by another person by experiencing rage.
SURPRISE: A surprise is a natural, immediate response to something unexpected. Even if this emotion only lingers on their face for a brief moment, it is easy to identify a shocked individual, regardless of their beliefs or culture, because of their wide-eyed look of astonishment.
FEAR: For what reason do a few people lean toward reviewing frightening motion pictures and placing themselves into heart-beating rollercoaster rides? A strong feeling of fear makes us feel alert and ready to take action, and it causes bodily responses like a quick pulse and sweating.
Additionally, fear may signal when you are about to enter or are already in a potentially harmful situation. The majority of people (and animals) would do anything to avoid frightening situations, but adrenaline junkies may enjoy the short-term high and mental clarity that this emotional state provides.
DISGUST: isn't exclusively centered around your five detects, but there is an enormous tactile part to this inclination. It doesn't matter if you're disgusted by the sight of mayonnaise on a sandwich, don't like the smell of strong perfume, or are put off by the idea that someone has broken the law at work-what matters is the same fundamental feeling: disgust.
CONTEMPT: Although contempt can be subtle or obvious, its presence typically results in the breakdown of relationships. It involves seeing yourself as superior to another person and looking down on them.
You might only experience feelings of contempt on occasion and with particular occurrences, such as when a boss you don't like tells you what to do, or you might live in a state of contempt that is almost always present. If that's the case, you probably have a hard time making friends and maintaining healthy relationships.
