9 Shorts That Will Help Us Understand Our Feelings
It is too difficult for people to understand that emotions have to be experienced, understood, managed and, above all, expressed. Generally, what we do by social convention is precisely the opposite: flee from them and not understand our feelings.
Thus, we cruelly punish our way of feeling, especially inhibiting children and those adults who are characterized by a certain sensitivity and special capacity in relation to the demonstration of their emotions.
To work on these aspects we have numerous and wonderful tools at our fingertips . Among them are short films or videos that aim to help us reflect and release those of our feelings that we cannot tolerate.
1. Love is a beautiful coincidence
The animated short Lucky You is a clear example that love can change everything and that the person who with a hug and a smile will always rebuild each broken part of our soul will always come.
2. Value friendship, overcome differences and help
It is not always easy to overcome difficulties and sometimes there are differences that seem insurmountable. This short film gives us a great lesson about friendship and the importance of staying by the side of those we love and who love us.
3. Differences bring us closer if we know how to listen to them
Pixar’s short film La luna contains many lessons. Working as a team and taking each point of view into account can be difficult, but if we serve others we can achieve wonderful things.
In the same way, this short shows us that by getting angry we only manage to lose the opportunity to share beautiful moments, to feel and to enjoy life.
4. The power of friendship with oneself
To achieve good self-esteem we must work tolerance towards ourselves. Through this short we will get closer to ourselves and understand how we destroy our own self-image in pursuit of ideals that are imposed on us and that we accept without thinking.
5. The value of patience
Sometimes we do not realize how we can harm those around us with our impulsive actions and comments. It is important that we cultivate patience, as it will bring us closer to emotional balance.
6. Brain or heart? The eternal dilemma
We must never lose sight of the fact that feelings make more sense with a little bit of sanity. The same happens in reverse. Thus, when we are faced with the choice of whether or not to pay attention to our most visceral part, we have to think that considering ourselves globally is always something that will enrich our lives and our decisions.
7. Know how to appreciate what we have
This beautiful short should help us to value what we have, put our envies aside and enjoy our life without looking at the neighbor’s. Let’s learn to live with what life gives us and value what we have before losing it.
8. Look at the essence, not the appearances
Appearances vanish like the smoke sold by the protagonist of this short. Thus, heeding the popular saying “appearances can be deceiving” , we should start looking deep into people. What we show can change, our feelings cannot.
9. We do not listen to understand, we listen to answer
If we want to be heard, it is important that we cultivate our ability to do so. Relationships require reciprocity and tolerance, something that we generally neglect.
All these shorts help us not only to understand our feelings and emotions, but to keep our values in mind and put them into practice without being guided by those feelings that do not bring us anything good.
