Читать книгу Sometimes feelings are monsters - Lilli Höch-Corona - Страница 9

Preface

Originally I didn’t want to mention the current situation because this book was written long before the COVID 19 pandemic and will be useful beyond the pandemic. Yet, this challenging time dominates all of our thoughts and feelings so I decided to comment after all:

I think it could help us a lot right now if we used all our ingenuity, all our skills and experiences, to imagine and work towards a better future. To find people with whom we work together on developing ideas and solutions that make a difference. If you look closely you will see that this is already taking place in many areas. People are getting together in huge hackathons, because they want to contribute and others are going above and beyond their usual work expectations despite difficult conditions. They are helping neighbors, working on solutions to current problems …

The most important message in my book is that we can influence what we feel, and that it is important to understand how our feelings work. Through this knowledge and its implementation we have influence over further evolution in our world. Basically my theory is that if each of us is in touch with their own feelings and focuses on what brings them joy, we will automatically become who we are meant to be. Because from a place of joy we are able to be productive and capable, we feel connected to people, nature, and the world, and treat each other mindfully and compassionately.
