Get succeed in life It does not only depend on a good preparation in the field that you want to develop. On many occasions, the attitude with which challenges are faced is fundamental to achieving the objectives. Thus, according to different studies, those who know how to handle new situations and are capable of improving and learning reach their goals before those who only rely on intelligence. Now, how do the feelings and the way to be?
A multinational investigation led by the University of Essex has discovered how the mind processes “achievement emotions”. In an article published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychologyscientifically identified the 12 emotions that fuel and impact success.

Despite being seen as negative feelings, it was discovered that the anxiety and anger they are energizing just like enjoyment and hope.
However, these darker feelings are related to a lack of strategic thinking and poor health, including stress-related psychosomatic symptoms such as headaches, nausea, back pain, and lack of sleep.
the power of hope
In general, the hope is the most powerful emotion: The study found that positive perceptions and feelings of control lead to enjoyment of learning, desire for success, and pride in achievement.
He found that if two students were of the same ability, the hopeful student would score higher than his negative-minded partner.
The study leader, Professor Reinhard Pekrunfrom the Essex Department of Psychology, said: “This is the first study to have developed a 3D model for the emotions of success.
“Although the model may seem abstract at first glance, it shows how achievement emotions relate to critically important parts of our lives and can define how we perform in job interviews, tests, and other stressful situations.”

“Interestingly, we found that feelings like anxiety and anger can sometimes motivate us more than enjoyment or relaxation. However, despite its energizing powers, anxiety edge can lead to mental health problems, undermine the functioning of the immune system and cause a drop in performance in the long term.
The psychological study involved more than 1,000 students in four different countries: Great Britain, Germany, the United States and Canada, and evaluated them in different situations.
The paper found that promoting the value, meaning, and interest of tasks rather than emphasizing success leads to better results. The findings show that it can be important for leaders to show enthusiasm to generate excitement and hope in colleagues, students, and athletes.
