Episode Highlights
What is Emotion?
- Physical signals a body makes in response to external stimuli around you.
What is Feeling?
- The process of how we consciously respond to these physical changes.
- It is in this state in which we can become overwhelmed.
How Can You Gain More Control?
- Music!
- Create a music playlist for different moods. When you’re feeling out of the ordinary, put on your more upbeat playlist.
- Apply an affirmation for each playlist that mirrors your desired physical state such as: Feel good. Find peace. Calm down.
Why Does Music Help?
- Select a playlist that matches your emotion so you don’t feel as alone. You can feel as though your feelings are being validated when you listen to someone who was in a similar emotional state when they wrote & recorded the song.
- Uplift yourself by playing a playlist with music that matches how you’d like to feel. It inspires your brain to put you in a different headspace.
5 Powerful Quotes
- “The ability to feel is one of life’s beautiful gifts but at times the intensity of these emotions can overwhelm us.”
- “It’s our purpose to feel, and experience life, but when the emotional experiences are persistent in their negativity, their sadness, their pain, the repetition can feel like the water spilling over the sides.”
- “Our feelings are our mind, heart and spirit’s way of navigating what our physical body is experiencing.”
- “We need to create external stimuli that will produce a different emotional response. This can then create a foundation, or pathway, for the landscape of our feelings to also change.”
