One of the best forms of self-love I practice that has transformed my life is connecting to my emotions and identifying my needs.
In this episode I share why it's important to connect to your emotions and the insightful revelations that come with emotional intelligence.
Like so many, I lived disconnected from my emotions for many years. Then one day a friend asked me, "How are you feeling?" and I struggled to answer the question. But, it was just the question I needed to begin exploring my emotional disconnects.
In this episode I share 5-easy steps you can use to transform your emotions and understand my needs.
My clients use these tools and have discovered so much about themselves. Understanding their emotions has helped them identify their needs, set boundaries and improved communications with others.
Understanding that emotions are the body's unique language, conveying needs and desires. Each emotion provides specific information about internal states, and tuning in becomes a powerful source of self-awareness.
The 5-Step Process:
1. Get Grounded: A mindfulness practice involving connecting with the present moment. Sit or stand, feel the support beneath, and take slow breaths, tuning into the body.
2. Scan Your Body: Turn attention inward, scanning from head to toe. Identify areas of tension or relaxation, recognizing physical manifestations of emotions. Get curious about the feelings in different body parts.
3. Use Emotions Chart for Language: Utilize an emotions chart to articulate feelings. Categorize emotions from joy to fear, enhancing the ability to express and understand them.
4. Use A Needs Chart: To identify underlying needs connected to emotions. Reflect on you
