For most of us it is very difficult to understand that emotions must be experienced, understood, managed and, above all, communicated. Usually, what we do by social convention is the exact opposite: we run away from emotions and don't understand our feelings.
This is why we severely punish our way of feeling emotions, especially intimidating children and those particularly sensitive adults who are able to express their emotions.
Understanding and managing our emotions beyond what is accepted by society is a task most of us have yet to do ...
To work on these aspects, we have many very useful tools at our fingertips, including short films or videos that want to make us reflect and free those feelings that we cannot tolerate.
Love is a splendid coincidence
The animated short film Lucky You is a clear example of how love can change everything and of the fact that that person will always arrive who, with a hug and a smile, will put all the broken pieces of our soul back in place.
Valuing friendship, overcoming differences and helping each other
It is not always easy to overcome difficulties and, at times, there are differences that seem insurmountable. This short film teaches us a fundamental lesson about friendship and the importance of staying close to those we love and who love us.
Not looking for defects, tolerating what is frustrating, not judging and not betraying your friends is the basis of a true friendship, able to defeat all the comings and goings of life.

Differences bring us closer if we know how to listen to them
The Pixar short film "The Moon" contains many teachings. Working as a team and taking into account every point of view can be complicated, but if we listen to others, we will be able to achieve great things.
This short film also shows us that when we get angry we will only lose opportunities to share good times, to feel and to enjoy life.

The power of friendship with oneself
To achieve high self-esteem, we must work on tolerance towards ourselves. Thanks to this short film, we will be able to get closer to ourselves and to understand how we destroy our own image due to the ideals that are imposed on us and that we accept without reflecting.
We are complete beings, with our virtues and our defects. It is not our image that defines us, but our thoughts and the ability we have to accept ourselves as we are. Only acceptance will make us better.

The value of patience
Sometimes, we don't notice how we can harm the people around us with our actions and impulsive comments. It is important to cultivate patience, because it is it that brings us closer to emotional balance.
Mind or heart? The eternal dilemma
We must never forget that feelings start to make more sense with a little wisdom. The same is true in reverse. This is why, when we doubt whether or not to follow our most visceral part, we must remember that a global consideration of ourselves is always something that can enrich our life and our decisions.
Knowing how to appreciate what we have
This beautiful short film will help us to value what we have, put envy aside and enjoy our life without having to compare it to that of those next to us. We must learn to live with what gives us life and to value what we have before losing it.
Look at the essence, not the appearances
Appearances vanish like the smoke that sells the protagonist of this short film. In fact, by listening to what the popular saying “appearances can be deceiving”, we should begin to understand people more deeply. What we show can change, what we feel doesn't.
We don't listen to understand, we listen to respond
If we want to be heard, then it is important to cultivate our ability to do the same. Relationships require reciprocity and tolerance, something we often forget about.
For this reason, in order to learn to live with other people, we must listen to their truths and not just our reasoning. Communication is essential to listen to each other.
All these short films help us not only to understand our feelings and emotions, but also to have our values ​​very clear and to put them into practice without letting ourselves be led by those feelings that do not lead to anything good.
