Introduction

 

Customizing My Emotional Spin Cycle: Annotated Bibliography is a report on the Daily Emotional Spin Cycle.À The Daily Emotional Spin Cycle is the collection of feelings that we as human beings all experience through out our everyday lives.À The cycle covers the total range of emotions we experience from anger and rage, to zeal and compassion.À This report was compiled from pervious generations of Dr James? classes, online news and media sources, and websites and articles.

 

 

 

 

 

Emotions

 

Emotions can be defined as a moving of the mind and soul.À It is widely considered a cerebral process.À Whether pleasing or painful, emotions stir up the excitement of the feelings.À Anger, rage, depression, dissatisfaction, satisfaction, zeal, and compassion are all emotions or feelings.À Our emotions are closely connected with their expression.

 

Citation:À ?The Expression of The Emotions In Men and Animals.?À Internet. 24 Oct. 2001. Available:

Take rage for instance?À According to Bain, ?rage exhibits itself in the most diversified manner.À The heart and circulation are always affected; the face reddens or becomes purple, with the veins on the forehead and neck distended.?À Bain also said that rage is such a powerful emotion, that many men have dropped dead because of it.

 

Rage has been an often prevalent emotion.À The terrorist attacks of recent have made all of us take a journey through the emotional spin cycle.À Before the aggressive emotion of rage can enter our minds, the more vulnerable emotion of fear first enters.À Because of the recent terrorist attacks, many people have become all too familiar with the emotion known as fear.À Nowadays, many children as well as adults fear for their lives.À Fear sometimes leads to the feeling of paranoia.À Paranoia is a physical manifestation of the emotion fear.À Paranoia can be anything from sleeplessness, lack of diet, depression, and agitation.À

 

Though we all experience negative emotions and feelings, we take relief in the fact that these emotions and feelings don?t last forever.À We eventually take the complete journey through the spin cycle and end up with more positive feelings and emotions.À For example, terrorism has not only affected the United States, it has also affected the rest of the world.À In China, a fireworks show is planned to commemorate those who lost their lives in the September 11 attacks.À

According to Felix Grucci a New York City firefighter, ?for 18 minutes and 27 seconds, people will turn their emotions about what?s going on around them from the negative to the positive.?À This is a prime example of a complete travel through the daily emotional spin cycle.À It starts with negative feelings and emotions and finishes with more positive feelings and emotions.

 

Feelings

 

The manifestations of emotions are feelings.À The two terms are synonymous with one another.À

 

Citation: ?Definition of Emotion.? Internet. 24 Oct. 2001. Available:

http://www.selfknowledge.com/31107.html

According to the Encyclopedia of the Self, ?feeling is the weaker term, and may be of the body or the mind.?

 

Although feelings and emotions are often used interchangeably, their meanings are slightly different.À Emotions are more the product of the mind and spirit (being in love, ecstasy, or grieving) while feelings are focused more on the body and sensations such as (heat, cold, and pain).À We can have both feelings and emotions at the same time.À An example of this is when a child runs away, we can feel both love and anger at the same time.À We can show our feelings through expression or we can hold them in.

 

Citation: ?Function Without Structure.? Internet. 24 Oct. 2001. Available:

According to Heidegger, ?our attitude and behavior often reflect out inner feelings, but the inauthentic people cannot show inner feelings like authentic people do.

 

Though emotions and feelings are slightly different, the two terms go hand in hand.À Feelings have a high degree of susceptibility to emotions.

 

 

 

 

Values

 

Values along with emotions and feelings make up the third part of the hierarchy of motives.À Values are basically personal principles that one sets so that he or she has a method to govern their behavior in pursuit of a vision.À There are many types of values, the most popular being financial value.À More importantly than financial values are personal values, such as family values and human values.À

 

Citation: ?Bush tours heartland extolling character, values.? Internet. 24 Oct. 2001. Available:

http://www.cnn.com/2001/ALLPOLITICS/08/bush.colorado/index.html

According to President Bush in an interview in August, he stated ?America was a country that values family and friendship, a place where people can learn values and character.?À Bush also stated that we as Americans should respect somebody, with whom you may not agree, respect your neighbor regardless of where they are from and where they were born.

 

The value of hard work has always been a staple in American society.À But as of recent, there has been a shift in values.À People are putting more focus on the value of happiness as opposed to the value of hard work and the monetary rewards that accompany it.À

 

Citation: ?When Values Shift at Work.? Internet. 24 Oct. 2001. Available:

http://www.cnn.com/2001/CAREER/readingup/05/17/values/index.html

According to the book, ?Values Shift? ?in the last five years, 28 percent of workers have voluntarily made changes in their lives that resulted in making less money.À They did in pursuit of better balanced lives.?

 

Whether it has been the value of freedom or the value of happiness, America has always been a country based on many different values.À Values such as diversity, equality, and human dignity have all been examples of American values.À These values have given us a certain character about ourselves.À The values we hold dear to our hearts reflect our individual performances as people while maneuvering through the daily emotional spin cycle.

 

The Threefold Self (Affective, Cognitive, and Sensorimotor)

 

The Threefold Self consists of three mental states.À These three states are, the affective, cognitive, and sensorimotor.À The affective state deals with feelings and motives.À The cognitive state deals with thoughts and judgments.À The sensorimotor state deals with sensory input and motor input.À The affective feelings one might have are anger, depression, or happiness.À The cognitive thoughts one might have are thoughts of superiority and invincibility.À Some actions associated with the sensorimotor aspect of the threefold self are initiating confrontations and tailgating or break checking while driving.À While these examples are clearly related to driving, the threefold self is a psychological domain that can cover many different aspects in our everyday lives.À

 

Essentially, the threefold self is related to the daily emotional spin cycle because as we travel through the daily emotional spin cycle, we all feel, think, and then sense, in that order.À No matter if it is positive feelings and emotions or negative feelings and emotions, we all follow the sequence of affective, cognitive, and then sensorimotor while immersed in the daily emotional spin cycle.

ÀEven when we are online on our computers, we experience the threefold self.À According to Mary Rose, ?when we are online, we go through a series of emotions: from feeling impatient for the connection to go through, to the elation of finding a specific web page we like.À The cognitive involves thinking aspects.À We may come across a web page that provokes thought.À Finally the sensorimotor, which involves the ?material mind.?À When we type a keyboard or click on our mouse, we get stimulated and there is a chemical, physical, or neuronal connection.?

 

In essence as we travel through the daily emotional spin cycle, we are always feeling, thinking, and sensing.
