Our thoughts and our feelings can affect us!

From personal experience, I can say my emotional state has a lot to do with how productive I am and how well I perform in completing tasks. If I have a lot on my mind or there's stress or an unpleasant situation I have to deal with, it greatly diminishes my ability to concentrate effectively on doing things to a higher standard. That's not to say things wouldn't get done at all, they just wouldn't get done as well as they could or should. On the other hand, when I'm feeling good and things seem to be going well in my life, I can work better, am more productive and as a result reap greater benefits. In the grand scheme of things, it's easier to be more productive and therefore be better educated and earn a higher income than someone who is struggling through unfortunate circumstances. There are exceptions to this ( and every ) theory.

yes, it sure does. I am experiencing that right now, after an argument with a close friend. I have been waiting for a call but he seems to don't care about it. That's why I am in front of the computer to make myself busy and productive to forget the problem.

Our thoughts are nothing but reflections of our feelings and therefore both thoughts and expression of feelings will have great bearing on the development and presentation of one's personality.

Yes there is no doubt that the way we feel influences our productivity in the workplace. If we are confident it shows, and that can give other people the confidance they need. to do business with you.I believe that Toastmasters can instill that confidence in each of us.

Hi jeanniemay! I do agree with that. thoughts and feelings somehow affect our behavior and attitude towards on being receptive to opportunities or whatever things that goes around us. That is why we always hear and read that we have to have a positive outlook in life or be optimistic in evrything that we do so that postive things will come our way. It is like attracting positive energy to reign in our life. Very hard to do each day but believe me, I am trying very, very hard until the time comes that I will be truly optimistic and just see all things bright and beautiful. hehe.. take care and have a nice day.

In the event of a depressive episode it is very difficult to consintrate on anything other than being tired. It's easy to get confused and side tracked when you feel down. If excitment and energy is what someone is feeling, it can be contagious and attract positive thinking and productivity. It is easier to consintrate and find pride in what you achieve!

Thanks for giving me the best response.

Getting too much emotional and worrying negative things are main leads for depression
