GEMEINSCHAFSGEFUHL

GEMEINSCHAFTSGEFUHL - GESUNDHEIT! Adler had found his empirical and clearly definable solution in gemeinschaftsgefuhl - people drove towards healthy social interaction. He defined gemeinschaftsgefuhl in german alone - so English translations are difficult. However, we can recognize this concept as: a profound caring about others
a positive feeling towards others
the desire to improve the world
healthy social interaction

GOIN’ UP!

Strategies for lifting my mood/increasing positive emotions.

I’m a country gal. I’ve lived on a farm for most of my life, so my mood lifting strategies mostly deal with animals and improving their lives. This would include getting the wheelbarrow and pitchfork, shovel, and the hose. When younger, there were always the stalls and cow barn to clean out. Seeing a job well done, the animals in a clean environment, always made me feel really, really good. Besides, if I didn’t clean up after the animals, I had to walk through it to get to my chores. Cleaning was a good thing.Now that I’m an adult I only have a kitty and two horses. So to lift my spirits I will spend time with the kitty, brush him out and play with him. There’s something about that deep purr from way down in him somewhere, knowing that he has pleasure, that gives me a sense of pleasure also.The horses are a huge lift for me. One horse is a giant fellow with a heart murmur. I have had him for fifteen years. He can’t enjoy the activities of my life as before. We can’t go riding together, get lost in the woods, splash in the waves, or just enjoy a full blown gallop together. However, brushing him out, his huge black long mane, and his beautiful tail, always gives me extreme pleasure. He leans into the brush as it glides over his monstrous body and that in return gives me pleasure and a sense of satisfaction. Nothing else, and no one, exists at that time.
