Note Making Sample

We tend to repress our emotions, especially negative ones like anger, which can manifest physically as illnesses like headaches or cancer. While we think we are protecting others, repression only bottlenecks emotions until they explode, and ultimately harms both ourselves and others. Expressing how we truly feel through both positive emotions like love and negative ones can help us become freer and more truthful.

1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.

There are so many things we humans tend to hold back on. We repress a lot of our
emotions, whether they are considered “good‟ or “bad‟ ones. Most commonly, we
have been taught to hold back on our “negative emotions” fear, anger, sorrow,
pain, etc. as a child.
Yet, I now realize that holding back anger or any other emotion affects negatively
the person who is holding back. The anger I refused to let out stayed locked up
inside, fermented, and gave rise to all kinds of poison. Frustrations and anger were
withheld, only to explode when “I’d had enough”. This anger later had to be
released through illness or directed at someone else or self or through therapy.
Anger manifests itself in the form of headaches, ulcers, cancer, arthritis, and many
other physical ailments.
Of course, we feel that by holding back on expressing our anger we are doing the
right thing and not hurting anyone. We can express ourselves without destroying
the other person’s sense of self-worth or attacking them emotionally, verbally, or
physically.
Expressing our deepest feelings also applies to expressing feelings of love and
appreciation. I have found that at times when I expressed feelings of gratitude and
love to others, they were surprised at the way I saw them. Never assume that the
other person knows how much you appreciate them. If you think it and feel it, then
say it.
We can choose to let go of the fear of being wrong, or appearing ridiculous, etc.,
and act on our feelings. Be true to yourself. Holding back is only postponing the
truth and can harm the other as well as ourselves. Holding back is postponing the
freedom to be who we really are - loving, truthful children who desire to be happy
and free from negativity.
