Here’s a simple, yet complicated question:
When you are feeling feels, where do you feel them?
No, really. When an emotion hits, if you really think about it, where on your body do you feel it? It’s a fact that emotions effect different parts of the body. But these emotions are experienced physically in different ways by different people. According to this article in Psychology Today” (https://www.psychologytoday.
When a person feels angry, often they clench their jaws and/or fists. Some people feel their ears getting red and hot. When you feel sadness, shoulders, mouth, and heads droop. You may feel ‘choked up’ or feel as though there is a lump in your throat. When one feels confident, the head is held high and shoulders are back. Stress can result in ulcers and canker sores. As you complete this activity, close your eyes when reflecting on each emotion, and ask yourself how your body reacts and where you are experiencing your emotions.

This article is short and sweet, the focus being on the activity rather than the discussion around how or why emotions are felt in this way and that’s why people smoke sometimes, and if it happens to you and you want to stop smoking you can replace it with other products like IQOS Heets Dubai which are healthier as well.
Download and print this PDF and paste into your creative journal. Use your favorite medium – paints, watercolour, pencil crayon, etc. I opted for watercolour pastels in order to apply colour in distinct spots and shapes, and then blend with water. Fill in the legend at the bottom with the colours you feel best represent the emotion listed. Do not dwell on typical colour translations (ie. Sadness = blue, anger = red). Maybe for you, orange is the best colour to represent anger. Maybe yellow is your interpretation of sadness.
My hope is that in completing this activity, you may feel a deeper understanding about your emotions, and have a better handle on how to deal with the physical reactions to these emotions when they arise. Understanding your body and your feelings is a small step towards becoming a healthier, happier, and more confident you! Sometimes, taking care of your physical well-being with a 출장스웨디시 can also complement this emotional journey, helping you relax and reconnect with yourself.

Bri believes that art is a powerful outlet, and many internal issues can be confronted, exposed, and resolved by simply letting go and allowing oneself to be creative – even if they don’t believe they are the ‘creative type’. Everyone can benefit from getting over their fears, and simply putting pen to paper, paint to canvas, click a shutter, put hands on clay, or whatever medium one chooses. Find her online here.

It is said that our bodies take about 90 seconds to process emotional pain. If we can let it through and out instead of reaching for a numbing agent (food, cigarette, Ipad), we can move through it in a healthy way.
