TODAY'S LEARNING
How To Connect With Your Emotions

Here is a journaling prompt for when you feel something:

If I didn’t have a word for a feeling or emotion I’m experiencing, how would I describe the sensation in my body?

It's important to focus on our body rather than our minds. That’s where emotions live and that’s where we need to feel them.

For this, closing your eyes helps.

Where do you feel the sensation?

Feel inside your body, beginning with your head and working your way down your torso to your muscles, your heart, lungs, and even your stomach.

Now is the time to simply experience what you're feeling; there's no need to find words to express it. No need to do anything with them. Not to be suppressed, emotions seek to be felt.

For instance, when I'm depressed, I frequently have a tightness and contraction in my upper chest and throat. The sensation for anger usually sits in my stomach and chest.

After that, simply take a few minutes or moments to sit with it. Explore the emotion, get curious.

If you feel ready to describe the sensation in your journal, this is a good list of vocabulary to help you find the right words. I used to find it difficult at first to put into words how my emotions felt in my body since I simply didn't know how.

This is a well-known bodily map that illustrates the emotions:

At best, you make it a habit to sit with and then journal about your emotions. It will help you feel more connected to yourself, your body and your emotional experiences to actually process them.

About: We all have parts about our personality that we tend to suppress. People also refer to it as the 'Shadow-self'. It's the part where our negative beliefs about ourselves and others dwell.

When we do 'Shadow Work', we shine a light on these dark parts of our being. And while this can be a very difficult and painful practice, exposing and accepting them will lead to enormous personal growth.

Doing shadow work allows us to deal with and overcome past trauma. It can help you realize the source of your negative beliefs and your worst habits. Surface memories you had long forgotten or have been suppressing, and confront them.

Our emotions are not something that should rule us. We should aim to live a more balanced life. Only by accepting our emotions as they arise, are we able to let them go. We don't need to react to our anger or hurt the way we are used to.
