In this episode, Dona discussed: How to know if you’re connected to your emotions The truth about the way you can feel Feeling as a conscious awareness of your emotions The truth about controlling your emotions Key takeaways Emotions are connected to everything. You can tell if you're having an emotion through your behavior, belief, or the habits you use to cope with it. It is NOT true that the only way you can feel is if you are consciously aware of your emotions. It’s because you are not consciously aware of emotions most of the time, and most people cannot identify when they are feeling them. The feeling is NOT a conscious awareness of your emotions because feelings are thought and emotion, and emotion is a physical, biological part of a feeling. Emotions and feelings are beyond our control. We can change and move them, but we don't just control them. "There are a lot of elements that go along with feelings, and thoughts. So as we change how we feel, we're also changing how we think. And we're changing how we behave.” - 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 me with "Podcast Question" in the subject line.
