Vibe

Theme: Emotions
This is an emotion that is very common, but we usually don't pay much attention to it.

You walk into a restaurant, and you feel comfortable with everything and everyone around you: the music, the people, the lighting, the general ambience.

The warmth that you feel when you meet old friends.

We say we vibe with someone when we connect at a deeper level, evoking mutual understanding, shared interests, and easy rapport.

Vibes are felt, not seen. They're a combination of visual cues (think lighting, decor), sounds, smells, and even the body language of the people around you. 

The vibe is all about a certain energy that you feel, which puts you at ease.

It's not confined to a single emotional spectrum; rather, it can be positive, negative, or anywhere in between, depending on the context and individual perceptions.

It can also be negative when nothing around you seems to be right.

It's said the positive affirmations that come from vibing with someone can enhance our mental health, provide a sense of meaning, and contribute to our overall physical health.

Conversely, negative vibes can drain energy, create discomfort, and contribute to feelings of isolation.

Therefore, being mindful of the vibes we emit and surround ourselves with can be a form of self-care, a way to nurture our mental and emotional health.

Uneasy

Theme: Emotions
This word reminds me of the famous Shakespeare quote: Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. 

Many achievements and attributes look glorious from the outside, but inside that person, they weigh a ton. 

If I am uncomfortable, restless or apprehensive, I am uneasy. 

Some instances that make me uneasy:

A dress that doesn't fit me properly.

Someone who is not known to me gets too close.

Inappropriate comments or mocking statements and comments.  

When people don't respect other people's choices and views.

When I am expecting something that I have a feeling will not be a pleasant experience.

How I deal with it:

Accept and face it head-on.

Change the topic. Focus on something else.

Do something constructive and focus on it.

Turn to my 'comfort bank' and pick something that makes me feel good.

Thrill

Theme: Emotions

It can be anything from intense excitement to a sense of anticipation. 

Sports provide many thrilling moments. 

Indian space scientists' landing a craft on the south pole of the moon—the first time anyone had done that — was a thrilling moment to watch live on television. 

For journalists, covering historic events can be thrilling. 

For others, skydiving or bungee jumping can be thrilling, the intellectual triumph of solving a complex problem, or the emotional high of a romantic encounter. 

It is the adrenaline rush before a big moment or the dopamine rush from achieving a long-sought goal.

However, remember, one person's thrill can be another person's boredom or even fear! 

Most thrilling moments have positive effects on our emotional well-being. They definitely elevate our mood because they have a feel-good impact. 

They can make our lives exciting and leave many unforgettable moments to cherish later.
