In this episode Dona discussed: The importance of befriending your emotions Dona's personal journey to making friends with emotions Key takeaways: Emotions affect every part of our lives, it is where passion, creativity, and motivation come from. Befriending your emotions and letting your thoughts and feelings move and flow will bring ease and peace to your life. Communication without emotions distorts the message, so allowing yourself to express your emotions on your own helps you better understand your own and other people's emotions, as well as how to properly express them in a way that others can understand. There's nothing wrong with being different. Accepting that you have your own way of expressing yourself and your emotions will change your perspective on life and help you feel more confident. “When you become friends with your emotions, they become an integral part of your communication, an integral part of understanding yourself and not getting caught up in old or current beliefs that aren't true. ” – Dona Joy Airey Connect with Dona Joy Airey: Website: https://www.facebook.com/djairey Email: dona@transformingwithin.com Phone: 502-420-9911 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/donajairey To submit questions: Join the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/makingsenseofemotions/ Email her with "Podcast Question" in the subject line.
