Dear Taichung Happiers,

Comedy is the best emotional remedy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8j8MyNElWI

Remember the film Inside Out? How did the inside noise created by Riley’s emotions (joy, sadness, anger, disgust, and fear) control her mind, and consequently, her behaviors? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seMwpP0yeu4 Whatever corner of the world you grew up in, can you recognize the culture gap of emotional expressions between collectivistic and individualistic cultures? Your observations are open to interpretation. Welcome to join our host Vicki in translating our inner languages into utmost empathy.

Baruch Spinoza (24 November 1632 – 21 February 1677), one of the great rationalists of 17th-century philosophy, admonished “The more clearly you understand yourself and your emotions, the more you become a lover of what is.” From then on, this timeless insight has found a beautiful echo in numerous hearts. Yale Professor Brackett illustrated his RULER approach to bring the music of our emotion waves and beacon the hope of individual potential and social harmony: Recognizing emotions in self and others; Understanding the causes and consequences of emotions; Labeling emotions accurately; Expressing emotions appropriately; Regulating emotions effectively. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8JMWtwdLQ4 The water of your emotions shows the hidden heart. What can, and will, your water be? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPPQQD892Dc

What is the first and simplest emotion discovered in the human mind? Author and philosopher Edmund Burke (12 January 1729 – 9 July 1797) determined it as curiosity. How far can the waves of curiosity carry you? This chocolate girl Amy Singh has triumphantly ridden the waves of curiosity, which have never been twisted out of shape by fears; furthermore, transforming her curiosity into compassion, she has been roaring the awakening of humanity out loud! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7MnJZJm86Y Meanwhile, an equally desirable emotion is happiness. American novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand (2 February 1905– 6 March 1982) reasoned, correctly, that “Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values.” Honestly, is your definition of happiness different from yours in childhood? Why (not)? Let’s prepare emotional remedy from kids’ daily happiness, and, practice! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1gu8mCgkFo

Due to the diversities of age, culture, gender, etc., differences in emotion processing are everywhere; yet, please remember that, at the same time, awesome is everywhere! It is an inevitable paradox that we cannot appreciate positive emotions without experiencing negative emotions. However, love heals—let love soften other emotion waves—align yourself with love. The tender experience of loving at all levels cultivates us to disclose a highly developed balance on the emotion waves. Love yourself, love your family, and love the beautiful and the thoughtful. Now, close your eyes and dive into the "First Lady of American Theatre" Helen Hayes’ mind. “We rely upon the poets, the philosophers, and the playwrights to articulate what most of us can only feel, in joy and sorrow. They illuminate the thoughts for which we only grope; they give us the strength and balm we cannot find in ourselves. Whenever I feel my courage wavering I rush to them. They will give me the wisdom of acceptance, the will and resilience to push on.”

He took a few cups of love (Recipe for Life) , by Muhammad Ali

He took a few cups of love.
He took one tablespoon of patience,
One teaspoon of generosity,
One pint of kindness.
He took one quart of laughter,
One pinch of concern.
And then, he mixed willingness with happiness.
He added lots of faith,
And he stirred it up well.
Then he spread it over a span of a lifetime,
And he served it to each and every deserving person he met.

What do emotions truly mean to your “being”? With high emotional intelligence, you can lift your own and others’ spirits. https://hbr.org/2015/06/quiz-yourself-do-you-lead-with-emotional-intelligence Therefore, welcome to share your emotions and fill each other’s buckets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NgIbIsb7Ww Join us. Thanks!!!
