Emotional Homeostasis, how does it work?

[Rebec]

How does emotional homeostatis work? 

I understand that in 'normal' homeostatis my body will seach a dynamic state of optimal functioning for the organism and includes many variables, such as body temperature and fluid balance, being kept within certain pre-set limits.

But how does this apply to my emotional state? I know that my own meaning gives me a lens which I few the world from. Tony Robins explains that we have a personal preference of one emotion which we return to. Who or what determines my pre-set limits? Does DNA play a part?

My question; I don't understand the mechanism behind 'emotional' homeostasis, can someone explain this?

It's very simple, your emotions are basically habits.

If you could track the amount of times someone laughed, was depressed, got angry etc each week, you'd see that it's basically the same, No matter what is going on, people default to their emotional habits.

You do. You could change your emotional state right now if you really wanted to. It's not even hard, we just resist it for various reasons.

Maybe, but that's outside of your control so forget about it.
